Intelligent Middleware Service Framework

Abstract

In this paper, we present a service oriented intelligent middleware service framework that enables integrated e-logistics infrastructure and networks. Service oriented architecture (SOA) represents a new concept of computing that allows diverse and distributed resources to communicate with each other based upon a set of standards. We discuss what values the SOA can bring to the middleware service framework, as well as how intelligence could further enhance the service framework to support dynamic interconnections among existing heterogeneous middleware systems today for e-logistics application development and integration
