It is important to note that Application Integration Architecture (AIA) is a product from Oracle and is available in Releases. The current release is 2.01. Release 2.1 is planned in the next several months.

Here’s a graphic looking at what AIA consists of and how it relates to the SOA Suite.

This shows all of the capabilities of the Oracle Fusion Middleware including SOA. Built on it are the AIA components of Enterprise Business Services, the AIA LifeCycle Management and Enterprise Business Objects provided by the Foundation Pack. There are actually other components but this diagram is just providing an overview.

At the top you can see the Process Integration Packs which rely on both the Foundation Pack and the underlying Fusion Middleware including SOA.

This next diagram shows more detail on how Application Integration Architecture enhances the underlying SOA layer.
AIA provides Industry Reference Models and the supporting Enterprise Objects that are built using BPEL and XML using the SOA Suite. Using JDeveloper, these models and objects can be customized and enhanced.
