1. A software integration architecture residing on a computer readable medium, the software integration architecture comprising:

  • an integration rule set associated with each of a plurality of software components, the integration rule set defining rules associated with access and receipt of resources for a given software component;

    a negotiation engine that is executable by a processing unit to negotiate dynamically with respective connecting software components to define rules associated with integration of the software components based on the integration rule sets of the respective connecting software components; and

    an integration sub-component set that provides a selection of data configuration protocols and data transfer protocols that are accessed and employed by the negotiation engine to define flow control, data conversions and communication mechanisms during transfer of data and control between respective connecting software components based on the negotiations between the respective connecting software components for integration of the respective connecting software components.
