Agent-Based Service-Oriented Architecture for Heterogeneous Data Sources Management in Ubiquitous Enterprise

摘要: In a ubiquitous manufacturing environment, different devices such as radio frequency identification (RFID) technology are used to collect real-time data. Additionally, data is by enterprise information systems for supporting managerial decision making. Since sources from applications and characterized multiple types of heterogeneities communication channels, blinding methods, developing environments, the difficulty in managing heterogeneous greatly increased. This paper proposes an innovative Application Information Service (AIS) that serves middleware exchange between applications. The AIS possesses several key contributions. Firstly, provides centralized platform manage distributed so reduce duplications, increase consistency, accuracy. Secondly, it combines software agent technologies with service-oriented architecture (SOA) services capable accomplishing tasks autonomous way without human intervention. Thirdly, agent-based paradigm proposed cultivate collaborative environment integrate well third party application providers.
