Abstract: Business data is one of the most critical components of the IT portfolio of any enterprise. However enterprises are facing a major challenge of providing a holistic view of it when the data spans across multiple heterogeneous systems with different data models embedded in them. To achieve maximum benefits from the SOA, it is crucial to create a common data management approach that handles all aspects of integrating information exposed through different autonomous services in an enterprise. We present an approach by which it becomes possible to provide the holistic view of business data by actively driving simplicity and SOA project acceleration. It allows us to integrate the supply chain applications of an enterprise and hence building a competitively differentiated supply chain for the future. PDF

Abstract: This contribution proposes an approach that is necessary to model cross enterprise business processes using Service Oriented Modeling and its realization by leveraging standard Web Services protocols. It stresses the need for validation of produced models at every step of development which is essential to reduce the mistakes at early stages and raise the level of confidence. It also assures that all important aspects are considered at the right level of abstraction whereas programmatic support allows reducing project completion time. PDF
