Research On Form-based Enterprise Modeling And The Design Of A Form Builder

The 21^st century is a knowledge-based economy epoch. Enterprise's commercial environments have changed a lot comparing with before, and there are more and more challenges confronting enterprises. The development of information technology especially computer technology makes it possible for enterprise to find available methods coping with all kinds of challenges. Therefore, carrying out MIS (management information system) is essential for many enterprises to survive and develop. Along with the gradual shifting of enterprise model from hierarchical and functional to process-centered, MIS transforms into a workflow-centered structure accordingly. In this thesis the design of a form-builder supporting enterprise modeling is put forward, which is for the sake of supporting business applications of workflow nodes and meeting the needs of the constantly changing of enterprises' business.At first, form technology, enterprise modeling technology, workflow technology and the investigation and development of them are introduced.Secondly, enterprise modeling methods based on form are analyzed. Enterprise process modeling, function and information modeling, resource and organization modeling are emphasized, and the position of form in enterprise modeling is also given.Then, the whole design of a form-builder supporting business application of workflow node is presented. The basic design goals are pointed out; top Use Case Diagram is given and analyzed, the main requirements of the form-builder system are caught; and the interfaces among modules are designed; moreover, the platform independent technology is designed.Finally, the form-builder system is designed elaborately. The position, figureand style of a variety of graph cells of the form-builder system are designed detailedly; working model of the form-builder is analyzed and designed; a...
