CNI Podcast: An Interview with Steve Wheat and Tod Jackson, Co-Founders of the OpenEAI Project

In this 14 minute podcast, we feature an interview with Steve Wheat and Tod Jackson, both Enterprise Architects for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Co-Founders of the OpenEAI Project.

The purpose of the OpenEAI Project is to discover and document the controlling dynamics, principles, and practices of enterprise application integration and to present, implement, and promote those findings. The OpenEAI Project presents findings in the form of the OpenEAI methodology and OpenEAI software for implementing integrations. We suggest you read the OpenEAI Overview for additional background on enterprise application integration (EAI). The OpenEAI Project is comprised of six distinct, but closely-related departments, which address OpenEAI Methodology, Application Foundation APIs, Message Object API, Message Definitions, Reference Implementations, and Deployment and Administration.
