Design and Implementation of a Novel General-purpose Enterprise Application Business Infrastructure Software Platform

Abstract

Platform-based development is currently the dominant development method of enterprise application, but the features provided by current mainstream enterprise application development platforms focus on technical aspects rather than business, so it lead to a high degree of difficulty and heavy workload during the building of specific enterprise applications. Other platforms might offer some better business-oriented features, but at the same time they have strong industry limitations. This paper presents a novel general-purpose enterprise application business infrastructure software platform, in which the technology complexity is encapsulated in the bottom, so the technical ability requirement of the user that uses platform to build specific enterprise application is largely reduced. Whether user can successfully build an enterprise application through platform is mainly depended on their cognitive level of the enterprise business. Enterprise applications built upon the platform can agilely respond to the changes of business. The efficiency and flexibility of the prototype platform built with the ideas and methods have gotten an initial validation from the simulation construction of a certain civil aviation airport prototype information system.
