Research On Technology And Methods Of Information Integration For Supply Chain Based On XML And Web Services

With the development of E-commerce and its related technology, the concept of integrated supply chain has come into being during the process of continuous change and perfection of the management concept. The global supply chain forum held in 2000 defined supply chain as this, " the integration of key business processes through original suppliers that provide products, services, and information that add value for customers and other stakeholders." The definition emphasizes the coordination and integration of logistics and information flow from suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors to customers.According to the above definition, the research target of this paper is as following: Adopting the technology and standard of XML and Web Services, information integration method of isomerous data source is studied to realize knowledge mining of integrated information for decision supporting. With the combination of information technology and intelligent method, intelligent integration is realized from the layer of data and information. Thus the sharing intelligent integrated system of supply chain is constructed with enterprise resource integrated, process optimized and knowledge continuously refined. The concrete content of the thesis focuses on the main two problem of information integration of supply chain:1. The technology and method of dynamic information integration for supply chain based on Web Services.2. The XML-based methods of multi-phrase information integration for supply chain.From the perspective of SCM, the significance of information integration methods discussed in the thesis is apparent: It is in favor of the delivery and sharing of information in time, the realization of correct decision and management and the strength of supply chain competition.The main achievement of the thesis is as following:1. The current situation of information integration technology and method are summarized from the perspective of supply chain, simultaneously illustrates the reason, gist, theory and current meaning of the topic chosen. The thesis defines the concept of integrated supply chain and studied the feature, classification, integration layers and demands of information flow, providing the basis of the following research.2. The realization architecture of integrated supply chain is discussed according to the concept and protocol stack of Web services. The thesis studies the realization...
