Saw this in the September issue of EAI Journal - may assist in our white
paper on synergy with Web Services:

THE NEXT WAVE OF INTEGRATION PLATFORMS
By Don Roedner
EAI Journal, September 2002
page 16-19

Discusses broadly the next generation of integration services -
application servers, integration brokers, the advent of Web Services
(Web-inspired integration) and future integration brokers.

In latter section, it says:
"The integration broker must supply services that allow the
orchestration of smaller components into larger ones. It must also
supply the platform necessary for non-engineering staff to expose,
deploy, and manage those services.    To support trading partner
collaborations on the Internet, these integration brokers must support
popular business-to-business (B2B) protocols such as RosettaNet and
e-business eXtensible Markup Language (ebXML).

The next generation of integration brokers must take all the benefits of
the current gerneation, add suport for Web services integration
standards, and provide a platofrm to support enterprise and
inter-enterprise deployments....."

Thanks.
