The Research And Development Of Workflow-oriented Enterprise Information Platform

With the fast development of the globalization and informationization,whether modern enterprises especially traditional manufacturing industry enterprises can implement information construction successfully, merge enterprise interior business workflow, combine isolated and scattered information, raise decision ability and respond the market fast has very important significances for them to subsist and develop among keen competition for a long time. This thesis has analyzed enterprise's informationization and the development history and current state of Enterprise Information Platform at domestic and abroad, including the overview and characteristic of the relevant technologies and products, and problems faced in the existing administrative system of enterprise's workflow. According to the analysis to these problems, this thesis puts forward the worklfow-oriented requirements of Enterprise Information Platform divided into level and module, and the overall function goal and performance target of the enterprise information platform. Under the guidance of these requirements and target, the thesis analyses and researches the functional makeup of administrant system of workflow, and presents a set of solution of information platform that orients to workflow and takes account of other enterprise applications in accordance with the characteristic, level and architecture of the information platform of enterprises. Based on the stratified design, public communication ground floor and three-layers framework are constructed; based on the modularized design, the Information Platform possesses better maintainability and expansibility; by isolating the necessary functional module of some enterprise application systems such as administrant system of workflow as the common service module, those application systems only need to consider the logic of their own business, consequently reduce the difficulties, enhance the efficiency of their implementation and increase their communication ability. According to the requirements of the organizations, an Enterprise Network Integration Platform—one main sub-platform of Enterpeise Information Platform has been implemented cooperatively. Based on the architecture of Enterprise Network Integration Platform (ENIP), the thesis develops the architecture and communication framework. Additionally, the index-arithmetic for information index engine used in Data Platform of information is developed and realized, and its performance is tested to validate its feasibility. Enterprise components managing tool used for enterprise material management is also realized. Finally this thesis looks forward to the development of the subject and proposes the research focal point in the future.
