Enterprise integration by market-driven schema evolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
The way how enterprises are organizing their processes is ultimately dictated by the requirements of their markets. Enterprises serving slowly changing market prefer a functional decomposition of their work force into departments with information flows along the hierarchy. Quickly changing markets require quick redefinition of implemented functions and information flows in the distributed information systems of the enterprise. This paper proposes conceptual modeling facilities and a trader architecture which enable a bottom-up, market-driven evolution of the information system schemes. A case study has been undertaken in the area of distributed quality management. The trader has been implemented with the meta database manager ConceptBase. The information systems realize the information flows via federated SQL servers.

متن کاملManaging Source Schema Evolution in Web Warehouses
Web Data Warehouses have been introduced to enable the analysis of integrated Web data. One of the main challenges in these systems is to deal with the volatile and dynamic nature of Web sources. In this work we address the effects of adding/removing/changing Web sources and data items to the Data Warehouse (DW) schema. By managing source evolution we mean the automatic propagation of these cha...
متن کاملRecursive Nature of the Market for Enterprise Applications
The paper explores the recursive elements of the market for enterprise systems by examining the evolution of the sales discourse from vendors of enterprise applications.
