Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is a major challenge for
enterprises to ensure optimal utilization of their landscape of
diverse applications. \emph{Enterprise Application Integration
Patterns} help to ease this problem by describing recurring EAI
problems and proposing possible solutions. As of today,
Message-oriented Middleware (MOM) is state-of-the-art for EAI
integration middleware infrastructures. However, Space-based
computing (SBC) has been found to offer essentially the same
qualities as MOM in terms of asynchronous, reliable and loosely
coupled communication and might therefore provide a suitable
alternative to MOM in the field of EAI. The objective of this paper
is to provide a comparison of MOM and SBC from an application's
point of view through an in-depth analysis of EAI patterns, assuming
SBC instead of MOM as their underlying middleware.
