Abstract
In the information systems environment, a framework is a well-defined structural and behavioral model in which applications can be organized and developed. A framework may consist of a variety of artifacts to help design, develop and glue together various components of an application, such as common services, interfaces, reusable modules, code utilities, scripting capability, technology stack, runtime environment, integration, security, platform, process, persistence, storage, communications, and other packages/libraries.
