Application level: Process layer
The process layer is part of the application level and is responsible for orchestrating component and service calls. It manages the building blocks in the mediation layer (if they cannot act autonomously). This supports and simplifies the implementation of complex integration processes.
Responsibility
The responsibility of the process layer is to manage and control the building blocks in the mediation layer.
