T1.5 System architecture-
Integration layers
 View Integration layer
 Use Liferay open source portal as view level integration platform for
providing good, seamless user experience for SLOPE platform users.
 Iframe/Web Proxy plugin integration for standalone applications
 Native portal application development for custom views
 User management, authentication and authorization out of the box.
 Provides Single Sing-on framework
 Data integration layer
 Use Integration Platform like Mule ESB for integrating different databases
and systems
 Integration Platform architecture the data/protocol transformation and
Integration logic is in one place
 Direct point-to-point integration possibilities must be considered too by
using SOAP or another standard base formats/protocols
 One application could be like integration platform that shares all needed
data to all integrated applications in the portal environment

Portal Platform for view integration
MHG Biomass Manager -
Liferay portal plugin
example.
MHG Biomass Manager
is one integrated tool in
MHG Portal Platform
concept.

7. Kick-off Meeting
8-9/jan/2014
T1.5Technology plan
• Use SOA priciples for designing the SLOPE system architecture
• Linux server instances on Vmware vSphere cloud platform
• MySQL database and Glassfish application server for integration platform
• Liferay open source portal platform for view level integration platform and user
management
• Specify needed integration points and design SOAP interfaces
• Use integration tool for data integration level. For example Mule ESB.
