Using Federations for Flexible SCM Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
SCM products are large and monolithic, difficult to adapt and evolve, with high entry cost. This paper describes a new approach to SCM in which the system is built from, potentially heterogeneous, existing pieces, with assembly mechanisms that enforce high-level properties. The approach does not provide a simple SCM tool, but a family of tools that is easily customized, fits both lowend users (only the required functionalities are present at a very low cost), as well as high-end users (for which very advanced features and/or specific features can be easily added). The paper describes the concepts and mechanisms of federations, and shows how our federation technology was used to develop a family of SCM systems.

متن کاملSemantic Web and Mutiple-agents in Scm
In recent years, many researches about how to efficiently handling information on logistics in supply chain have been proposed. Some focus on applying artificial intelligence to solving the problem. Most of the above approaches, however, usually consider multiple agents and simulation systems in single companies. Besides, they seldom consider using semantics to allow flexible information query ...
متن کاملDigital subcarrier multiplexing for fiber nonlinearity mitigation in coherent optical communication systems.
In this work we experimentally investigate the improved intra-channel fiber nonlinearity tolerance of digital subcarrier multiplexed (SCM) signals in a single-channel coherent optical transmission system. The digital signal processing (DSP) for the generation and reception of the SCM signals is described. We show experimentally that the SCM signal with a nearly-optimum number of subcarriers can...

Firms are seeking competitive advantages through supply chain management (SCM) to stay competitive in today’s global market. An inevitable endeavor of SCM is to promote information transparency that enables firms to coordinate supply chain activities efficiently to better meet ever-changing customer demand. Effective SCM requires that the underlying information technology infrastructure of the ...
متن کاملCloud Federations in Contrail
Cloud computing infrastructures support dynamical and flexible access to computational, network and storage resources. To date, several disjoint industrial and academic technologies provide infrastructure level access to Clouds. Especially for industrial platforms, the evolution of de-facto standards goes together with worries about user lock-in to a platform. The Contrail project [6] proposes ...
