Architecture of Federated Enterprise
نویسنده
چکیده
The capabilities of the Internet and its associated World-wide Web have reached a level of maturity in both technology and application that they now provide the platform of choice for many services of public and private enterprise. Web services, as key elements of this platform, provide a framework and tools for transaction-oriented (primarily stateless) applications. With the emergence of the global information grid, we are moving into an era in which growth through innovation and value generation is encouraging, if not forcing, individual enterprises to aggregate into more responsive and tightly coupled collaborative alliances, or virtual organizations. In open freemarket economies such federated enterprises require new web-based services to support process-oriented (primarily stateful) applications. This is especially true of applications that provide automation and control of value production processes. We introduce here a framework for discussing grid-based distributed real-time automation and control of federated enterprise.
