Abstract: A system and method for integrating components with processes in a business catalog. The method comprises constructing a composite model of available components on a computer. The composite model defines functional dependencies between the available components. The method further comprises generating, based on the composite model, a plurality of business objects for the available components and automatically generating a synthesized module for each business object. Each synthesized module includes mechanically generated names for services offered by its associated business object. The method also comprises populating a business catalog with the synthesized modules.
