Software Confederations and Manufacturing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software systems used in manufacturing control (especially the flexible manufacturing systems or some parts CIM) often have an architecture possessing many advantageous software engineering properties. Some techniques related to the architecture called software confederation (e.g. interface stability and incremental development) are discussed. Surprisingly enough the architecture of software confederation used in manufacturing control systems can be with some modifications applied in very large information systems.

Towards Design Rationales of Software Confederations
The paper discuss reasons why service-oriented architecture is a new software paradigm and the consequences of this fact for the design of enterprise information systems. It is shown that such systems called confederations need not use web services in the sense of W3C. It is, however, more or less a necessity in e-commerce. Confederations (service-oriented systems with known set of services) ar...
متن کاملArchitecture and Modeling of Service-Oriented Systems
Service-oriented software systems (SOSS) are becoming the leading paradigm of contemporary software engineering. SOSS are virtual peer-to-peer systems of autonomous software components (services) behaving like the service in mass services systems of real world. SOSS used in e-commerce (alliances) have properties different from the properties of many systems (confederations) in which (almost) al...
متن کاملSoftware Confederations and Alliances
Global processes imply that the information systems have the architecture of virtual peer-to-peer networks of autonomous permanent services. It is typical for IS supporting e-government. We s h o w t h a t there are two v ariants of such n e t works: Confederations with quite stable relations (e.g. between the IS of the oces) and alliances with temporal links (typical for e-commerce). Alliances...
متن کاملSoftware Confederations and the Maintenance of Global Software Systems
Software maintenance is the most difficult and costly activity of the life cycle of software systems. It is known that it requires usually twice the development costs. It causes that software must be periodically rewritten or retired with severe consequences. This problem is especially strong for global worldwide systems like the information systems of international enterprises. We show that th...
متن کاملA Reusable Framework for Systems of Asynchronous Concurrent Processes
Networked information technology systems can be found in many physical, natural or social processes, which include processes implemented by an information system. Software confederations and global software systems connect many concurrent processes into asynchronous network models, e.g. via service-oriented architecture. Unfortunately, the complexity of distributed systems can be a hindrance to...
