Business automation continues to be a strategic target for IT investment. However, business automation involves inherent challenges, such as system integration issues. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and business-to-business (B2B) integration standards are two approaches used for creating business automation solutions. In this paper a systematic literature analysis is conducted to explore the...
Nowadays integration and interoperability studies and research have become hot topics in business field, providing technologies which enable Enterprise Application Integration (EAI). In this sense, Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) products have gained a significant prominence as the mechanisms for supporting EAI. As a consequence, several ESB products from both commercial and open source have emerged...
This paper presents the quality factors of web services with definition, classification, and sub-factors for business and service level measurement. Web services, main enabler for SOA, usually have characteristics distinguished from general stand-alone software. They are provided in different ownership domain by network. They can also adopt various binding mechanism and be loosely-coupled, platform...
Applying choreography and orchestration technology has become a popular method of attacking Business-2-Business integration (B2Bi) challenges like agreement and communication among integration partners, compatibility of interacting processes and distributed computing. ebXML BPSS (ebBP) as dedicated B2Bi choreography standard and WS-BPEL as number one Web service orchestration language are particularly...
Service-oriented architecture provides effective techniques to solve the problems of the enterprise application integration and to implement the business process re-building. In this paper, a reference implementation program of the business, semantics and service three-layer Integrated Financial Enterprise service architecture (IFE) is proposed. This program classifies the knowledge object of the...
Today, there exists a huge variety of business document models for electronic data exchange among business partners used in business-to-business, business-to-government, as well as government-to-government business transactions. Thus, it becomes inevitable to process differing document models in daily business, unless a commonly agreed standard is developed. However, even if a commonly agreed standard...
Abstract-Traditional EA concepts in the Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) domain focus on ex-post integration of application interfaces by pipelining different middleware technologies like message queuing or remote method invocations [1, 2]. Web Service enabled Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) used in the EAI context were a step towards providing an abstraction layer for the involved interfaces...
Electronic data interchange (EDI) is inevitable in enabling successful collaborations between different business partners. Exchanging information electronically requires standardized formats for information exchange. There exist a variety of standards including bottom-up standards as well as top-down standards. However, business partners may utilize different standards resulting in a loss of interoperability...
Businesses recently began shifting from proprietary models towards industry standards. Today, when businesses are faced with medium and large SOA projects, they strive to standardize their business process models, information models, and message models by complying with known industry standards. As service orientation and composition become more important, these standards also become critical for...
In the field of business document standardization a multitude of different standardization efforts exist. Unfortunately, most of the developed standards are designed for a specific application domain or industry and do not consider cross-standard interoperability. This results in several incompatible standard definitions. Without the provision of a common semantical basis for business document definitions,...
This technical paper discusses the architectural design and implementation details of Genesis - a novel Web application which formulates business process definitions dynamically, given a user business goal and underlying business criteria (e.g. total order cost, type of sourcing methods, etc.). Guided by an algorithm that references a hierarchical ontology file containing business process task decomposition,...
By its very nature, delivering information as a service upon the demands of the business, service-based business processes offer additional features and benefits that can complement traditional BI implementations in providing enterprises of all sizes a new approach to meet their data integration and analysis needs at all levels in the enterprise. To be successful, BI solutions have required new ways...
It is widely considered that standardization is an important means for information processing, exchanging, managing and clearing up technical bulwark more effectively. The paper studied the theoretics and methods about the SaaS platform. After analyzing the issues of standardization and existing standards for sustainable development information sharing (SDIS) such as XML, RosettaNet and so on. The...
This paper propose a progressive and disciplined engineering of adaptive service-oriented business processes (SO-BPs). Each business activity is first informally governed through interaction-centric event-conditions-actions (ECA) based business rules. They are then smoothly conceptualized as transient ECA-driven architectural connectors, with roles playing service interfaces and glues capturing the...
In traditional database-driven applications, transactional integrity is a well-established concept. In order to apply these techniques to SOA-based applications, along with the capability to perform long-running business activities, the WS-BusinessActivity standard was developed. This standard does not specifically address cross-organizational use, however, when an enterprise decides to integrate...
Previous research examining the effective implementation and management of enterprise architecture (EA) has typically used a governance perspective. However, this perspective does not consider the challenges associated with the "architecting" effort-.e., the processes involved in generating and managing the EA. This requires the coordinated action of many stakeholders and architects, especially...
What impact do process and data standards have on business process performance? This paper shows that process and data standards have a positive combined impact on business process performance - measured in business process time, cost and quality. This combined impact of process and data standards on business process performance is empirically confirmed using data from an annual study of the recruitment...
The Universal Business Language (UBL) is an initiative to develop common business document schemas for interoperability. However, businesses operate in different industry, geopolitical, and regulatory contexts and have different rules and requirements for the information they exchange. So, several trading communities are tailoring UBL schemas to their needs, requiring that these schemas translate...
The concepts and architecture of enterprise application integration (EAI) were overviewed. The key technologies, the state of the art, and the open problems were addressed in the perspectives of application integration, data integration and business process management. It was pointed out that the technologies of EAI should be standardized based on the some technologies such as Web services. Integrating...
Traditionally, researches on information security mainly focus on the different sub-disciplines such as network security; application security; grid security, etc., but not much emphasis is focused on integrated enterprise information security architecture. The paper proposed a layered and service-oriented intelligent enterprise information security architecture, helping to build a model to manage...
