Integration in calculus is a means of finding the area under a curve.

Inasmuch as the Airbus FBW uses computer calculus to provide control loops for artificial stability, IMHO the "integrator" referred to here is a computer math model controlling the elevator. In this case it may be integrating pitch over a period of time to seek zero pitch change.

But hey, I've been wrong before...
