Design And Research Of Middleware And Component System Supporting Collaborative ERP Applications Development

The concept of enterprise resource plan, ERP for short, was firstly brought forward by GartnerGroup Company, USA, in the early 1990's. As it grew up for many years, the ERP has already turned into application fields from theory fields, which is a integrated system consists of various functional modules surrounding the core as enterprise manufacturing resources. But the traditional ERP systems usually produce such problems as endless period of design and implementing and poor adaptability to the change of requirements, together with the defect that it can not meet the enterprises' requirements of information incorporation such as E-Business and B2B, which makes each individual corporation as "information isolation". Otherwise, this platform can provide a developing environment that is intelligent, customerized, team-oriented and suitable for various scale enterprises to the operation staff in cooperations.The platform introduces the middleware and CSCW technologies, and adopts modulization and intellectualized processing to some extent, which supports users' developing and deploying the business systems they need rapidly and dynamically. In addition, the platform adopts the transaction processing oriented reflecting middleware technology and the self-adopting mechanism. And meanwhile, the platform provides the business modeling language aiding to establish and process business models.Besides, the platform is presented as a visualized development environment to the users. The top level that lies in the platform is the part managing the interactions between users and the platform. And it takes charge of composing and invoking the rock-bottom middleware and components system, which can meet the users' customizing and simple needs to the platform.In a word, this paper introduces the platform's various characteristics in detail respectively from the total framework and material technologic aspects. And it also foresees the developing direction of some technologies and the evolutive target.
