    abstract = {Information integration has two fundamental aspects, data integration and
      function integration. Function integration is based on flow technology and
      adapter technology, and both of these add powerful capabilities to information
      integration. They provide access to a huge variety of data sources, such as
      standard applications, home-grown backend systems, and Web services. For
      accesses that are not restricted to read operations, flows can help in managing
      units of work across these data stores. When a database system is coupled with
      a flow engine, all of these capabilities are made available to database
      applications.},
