Supply chain collaboration requires information sharing and business process reengineering between supply chain cooperation partners. To establish an opening and loosely-coupled system integration environment, the architecture of system integration based on SOA is provided. Under this architecture, the messages from other system can be transformed into appropriate format by data Adapt. Business Process...
Summary form only: Recently the requirements of the users have been diversifying and changing, therefore the manufactures and providers have to dynamically change and modify the business processes. To cope with this tendency, the processes have become more mutually correlated. As the markets are competitive and globalized, the SCM (Supply Chain Management) and e-commerce systems have been developed,...
By using semantic web service composition, individual web services can be combined to create complex, but easily reconfigurable systems. Such systems can play a vital role in today's changing economic conditions, as they allow business to quickly adapt to market changes. Taking into consideration that manual web service composition is both time-consuming and error prone, the proposed framework uses...
Firstly, based on the needs of supply-chain management in the environment of E-business, this paper analyzed problem existed in present search engine for apparel-goods and proposed a new kind of distributed search engine for apparel goods based on semantic web services, and then discussed its architecture. Secondly, this paper introduced apparel ontology design model and the representation method...
Enterprise collaborative business systems utilize the technical methods to make the information between heterogeneous systems exchanging the information and sharing the resources. Compared with the traditional integration methods, the use of Web Services is a more flexible solution to the enterprise collaborative business systems. This paper first explores the enterprise collaborative business systems,...
We describe an approach to building a highly configurable, semi-autonomous agent that can support users playing a variety of roles in a supply-chain trading environment. The agent's decision processes are composed of networks of simple services that are described using OWL ontology. The ontology describes both the abstract data structures that are produced and consumed by individual services, as well...
In this paper, we present a service-oriented architecture (SOA) based system to meet the on-demand VMI requirements. SOA is used to create flexible and efficient loosely-coupled systems . We utilize technologies including web services, SOAP, HTTP, XML and WSDL to develop a VMI system. Web services can support the integration of information and services across platforms and operating systems. In addition,...
This paper examines how utilization of Service Delivery Platform (SDP) technology can potentially address some of the key issues facing the existing retail supply chain management (SCM). Existing SCM issues are identified and an analysis of the key functionality requirements for SDPs is described. Meeting these requirements ensures that SDP can provide a collaborative platform for a supply chain with...
Rapidly changing supply chain requires more flexible and efficient information systems. However, large investment and long lasting system design and development period often makes it difficult to leverage information systems to meet supply chain requirements. This often impedes the effort to deploy information system in fulfilling business strategy. Sharing distributed IT resources across the boundary...
A method framework for SCOR (Supply Chain Operations Reference model) was designed. SCOR contains three levels of process details: using UML to model the process in level 1 and the domain ontology, using XML Nets, a kind of high level Petri Nets to model the process categories in level 2 and to assemble the XML Nets fragments according to the request ldquoconfigured-to-orderrdquo, and using Xml Nets...
This paper describes the development of a Research Infrastructure to support research in the area of logistics. This infrastructure is a computer aided research platform that is based on the Institute's Logistics Paradigm. This infrastructure has been, through a process of model enactment, implemented using a 3-tier architecture using J2EE. The process of model enactment is described, using the survey...
The globalization of business through mergers and acquisitions requires the interoperation of established heterogeneous systems within the enterprise. Supply-chain management and collaboration between companies likewise necessitate interoperation between enterprise systems. Companies must break down system silos to increase utilization rates. Automated contract management can mitigate the risks of...
