In this paper, a complete concept for Internet Electronic Data Interchange using XML is proposed and the realized prototype, which has been developed for an industrial partner to improve the current situation of parts delivery, is described. Scope of the problem The starting point of the project was a problem of our industrial partner (BMW Motors Steyr in Austria). During the process of parts d...

Business process modelling (BPM) is an emerging field of simulation application. Simulation of business processes is increasingly being recognised as an extremely useful tool for assessing the feasibility, efficiency, and effectiveness of process re-engineering decisions. However, almost all of the reported experience is confined to re-engineering initiatives within a single organisation. The p...

This Applicability Statement (AS) describes how to exchange structured business data securely using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for XML, Binary, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI ANSI X12 or UN/EDIFACT), or other data used for business-to-business data interchange for which MIME packaging can be accomplished using standard MIME content types. Authentication and data confidentiality are obta...

In practice a growing number of companies report negative impacts of using EDI, which are attributed to the impact of poor data quality. This result is in contrast with current EDI theory, which shows that EDI leads to less data entry errors and hence to a positive role of data quality in EDI. Based on the current literature on data quality and communication, this paper develops a theory on the...

With the maturity of the Electronic Data Interchange-Internet Integration (EDIINT) standards of AS1, AS2, and AS3, applications and additional features are being built upon the basic secure transport functionality. These features are not necessarily supported by all EDIINT applications and could cause potential problems with implementations. The EDIINT-Features header field provides a means to ...

A principal weakness of all encryption systems is that the output data can be ‘seen’ to be encrypted. In other words, encrypted data provides a ‘flag’ on the potential value of the information that has been encrypted. In this paper, we provide a new approach to ‘hiding’ encrypted data in a digital image. In conventional (symmetric) encryption, the plaintext is usually represented as a binary st...

The development in the late 1980s of two dimensional bar code symbologies capable of storing kilobytes of information in a single symbol and unlimited data in multiple symbols has led to the suggestion that bar code could be used as a medium for transmitting EDI messages. This paper considers whether such a suggestion targets any real business problem and whether such a system would work in pra...

Still most of the current information systems are intra-organizational. Since products, services and production processes have become more information intensive, there is an increased need to transfer these information between organizations. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) standards have been proposed to exchange these information between two independently operating information systems. All t...

Introduction to the Problem: The digital era of technology has cut role third parties and made it easier for services be run peer-to-peer; where can connect directly at a business scale. Business relations is always accompanied by contracts. However, nowadays conventional contracts have undergone disruption with existence blockchain technology. A smart contract model that uses execute contents ...

EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) has been a powerful business to business (BB) process enabler well before the explosion of the Internet. The competitive advantage deriving from this practice is quite clear as EDI had a big impact in the streamlining of administrative processes and business EDP (Electronic Data Processing) in general. The main problem was the cost, deriving especially from net...
