Adaptive multi-protocol communications system

An apparatus for an integration system that exchanges data between application protocols, comprising:

• at least two interface cards;
• wherein each interface card is configured to send and receive a specific application protocol;
• wherein each interface card is communicably connected to a computer system;
• wherein said interface cards are connected to a common interconnect;
• wherein a first interface card converts a received first application protocol bit stream into a multi-dimensional matrix representation of said first application protocol;
• wherein a first interface card converts said first application protocol multi-dimensional matrix into a multi-dimensional matrix representation of an intermediate language;
• wherein said first interface card sends said intermediate language multi-dimensional matrix to a second interface card;
• wherein said second interface card converts said intermediate language multi-dimensional matrix into a multi-dimensional matrix representation of a second application protocol;
• wherein said second interface card converts said second application protocol multi-dimensional matrix into a second application protocol bit stream;
• and
• wherein said second interface card sends said second application protocol bit stream to a computer system.

A process for an integration system that exchanges data between application protocols, comprising the steps of:
