General Web Services In Agile Supply Chain System

It is an era full of competition, the ability for enterprises to have quick reaction to the change will be one of the most important aspects to win the competition worldwide. This paper introduced a technical platform of agile supply chain system, oriented by the objective of dynamic e-business. Surrounding the core of dynamically reconstruction in supply chain, we discussed several key technologies such as application framework, main EAI approach, indicated that an advanced supply chain system will be constructed on 3/n tier application framework, based on xml infrastructure, in terms of services, taken soap or asynchronous message queuing as effective communication way according to corresponding framework to implement application integration. Further, we designed a prototype of agile supply chain using new concept "Universal Web Service", from which we have found a relatively perfect solution to solve the problems on application and enterprise integration, especially when facing to lot of valuable legacy systems or applications. We also proposed an integration framework based on the Software Integration Markup Language (SIML) and its three subdivision (SQLML, UDDIML, MQML) , which are all XML based markup language designed to describe e-business applications and enterprise integration.
