Composite Applications are user centric applications supporting
highly collaborative and dynamic business processes which span
several functional areas across and beyond organizations.

Composite Applications make use of data and functions provided
as services by platforms and applications, combining these into
user-centric processes and views, supported by own business
logic and specific user interfaces.
