Instead, software companies that seek to adapt to a market based on software as a service need to examine how they approach very basic business tasks like marketing and engineering. This paper focuses on the implications a particular software paradigm has on software engineering. It concludes that some traditional software engineering practices in the goods paradigm related to planning, versioning, and maintenance are simply not appropriate in the service paradigm. To be successful as a service-oriented business, a software company needs to realign its base software engineering practices to fit the new business model","PeriodicalId":325318,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Service Operations and Logistics, and Informatics","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114913119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The success of enterprises depends more on their ability to agile business and IT. Integration of the traditional IT applications and the new IT applications becomes a significant problem in the modern enterprises. The logistics information system, as an important part of the enterprises, relates to many areas of the enterprises, even to different enterprises. So the integration of the logistics information system is a crucial issue for modern business. This paper describes a general design for the integration of distributed logistics information system based on service-oriented architecture (SOA) and enterprise service bus (ESB).

It is possible that the job submission for the resource request by resource consumers can be large owing to wide area distribution of grid. Key services such as resource discovery, monitoring and scheduling are inherently more complicated in a grid environment. In this paper, we approach the problem of grid workload scheduling by employing a Niched Pareto based genetic algorithm (NPGA) to generate near to optimal solution. In addition, evaluation of other scheduling mechanisms like first come first serve (FCFS), earliest deadline first (EDF) are compared. The results reveal that the proposed Niched Pareto genetic algorithm performs well compared to the other scheduling mechanisms when considering the workflow completion within the deadline","PeriodicalId":325318,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Service Operations and Logistics, and Informatics","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133964556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such real time delivery would give them a competitive lead, and is considered an asset on most scenarios. For the most part, small and medium sized businesses lack the resources to achieve this goal. We propose that a first step to achieving the desired realism is to build global knowledge on businesses. This may be achieved through interactive diagnosing of small and medium sized companies. Such diagnosis must be equivalent to the business it wants to model. For this purpose, we propose a model for dynamic construction of a workflow (DCW), describes the diagnosis process as a workflow that is built dynamically as an entrepreneur answers an online questionnaire. We propose that semantic actions within context-free grammars will enable the dynamic construction process.
