Within such integration projects SCORE Adaptive Bridges with its built-in
generators provides:
- higher productivity
- better maintenance
- reduced project duration
Therefore in many cases integration projects become possible for the
first time, opening the door for the reuse of already available, business
critical and productive application implementations. We are calling this
ROEI – Return On
Existing Investment.
Emerging Technologies as engine
Using SCORE Adaptive Bridges you define adaptive services for the integration of
legacy applications. These adaptive services consist of the Legacy Interface,
the Service Interface and the mapping between them. This is done with tools,
which offer a maximum of built-in convenience and intelligence within their
graphical user interfaces, e.g. validation routines implemented in ANGIE.
These platform-independent integration models are mapped to server and, if
necessary, client-side implementations by a family of generators. The generated
implementations are intermediate layers, which resolve many different
integration tasks. These include the abstraction from the used middleware, the
connection to a database system or the mapping of object-oriented interfaces to
function-oriented ones, for example.
The implementation of the generators within SCORE Adaptive Bridges relies in
essence on the usage of the core technologies
ANGIE and
HyperSenses. All generators and the repository management are implemented using
ANGIE or HyperSenses. ANGIE as a generator language provides the foundation for
HyperSenses – our "generator generator". HyperSenses is applied whenever
specific generators should provide an extra amount of customizing, enabling a
high-level of adaptability for project-specific requirements. In these cases the
HyperSenses Pattern Composer as the tool for the interactive definition of
patterns plays an important role.

different editions of SCORE Adaptive Bridges.
You want to take the controls? Here you go!
Concerning our Emerging Technologies we are frequently asked: Is this really a
product? Where are the application areas for these technologies? Is it possible
to get more insight into it? The answers are "no" – "in our SCORE products" – "yes,
it is". ANGIE and HyperSenses are technologies, not products. Indeed they could
always be purchased and are being applied within practical projects. But they
are not part of our standard product list. Our technologies are the foundation
of our actual products SCORE Adaptive Bridges,
AMELIO Modernization Platform and
SCOUT² Development Platform.
Especially for SCORE Adaptive Bridges, we can offer you a free trial version of
the easily usable Express Edition. This version is available free of charge and
comprises full product functionality and a 30-day test license. We are providing
the trial version for
download or on
CD – check this stuff out and try it for
yourself! You will gain much more insight in an interesting application area for
brand-new generator technologies!
Product variants for different tasks
We are offering SCORE Adaptive Bridges in several versions. Depending on the
used version – Express Edition, Advanced Edition, or Enterprise Edition – our
Emerging Technologies are visible or are working reliably hidden below the
surface:
- Express Edition – Low startup costs and an easy-to-use product are
in the focus of this edition. ANGIE and HyperSenses form the technical
basis, but are not directly visible to the end user.
- Advanced Edition – This edition additionally allows the comprising
integration of databases and support for project teams, as well as the
specification of extra business logic. At certain locations it is
possible for you to write ANGIE-Code to define special mappings.
- Enterprise Edition – Addresses very large and ambitious integration
projects. With this edition you have special scripting and code
generation possibilities. Therefore our emerging technologies make an
extendable and highly-flexible customizing possible. As well as ANGIE
you can use the tool HyperSenses Active Intent, which provides an
intelligent and context-sensitive support for the configuration process.
As an add-on we offer our "Pattern SDK", which comprises the tool
HyperSenses Pattern Composer, in particular – our model-based
advancement of the concept tool
Pattern By
Example (PBE). This enables your project team to accomplish a proper
adaption of the code generation to meet your project-specific needs.
