A new approach for Enterprise Application Architecture for Financial Information Systems : An investigation of the architectural implications of adopting serialization and RPC frameworks, NoSQL/hybrid data stores and heterogeneous computing in Financial I

Abstract: This thesis investigates the architectural implications of adopting serialisation and remote procedure call (RPC) frameworks, NoSQL/hybrid data stores and heterogeneous computing in financial information systems. Each tech- nology and its implications is analysed separately together with its benefits and drawbacks for the system implemen- tor. The investigation shows that all three technologies can help alleviate technical challenges facing financial enter- prises; but they all come at a cost of complexity.
