You cannot underestimate the time required to build robust flexible reference models that will withstand the test of time. However, that is exactly what system architects are expected to do as part of the software development team.
This chapter presented a logical adapter reference model, and also defined some of the physical attributes of the adapter that need to be part of the physical reference models.
