Dynamic orchestration model for complex business processes: An application to e-SCMS

Abstract

Design and development of an efficient and trustworthy e-business application using orchestration has number of issues. Some of them considered here are reducing complexity, higher flexibility and improving efficiency, quality attributes, ensuring trust, and processing over large datasets. The present paper considers the application of dynamic orchestration in e- Supply Chain Management System (SCMS), which is based on hybrid approach. An orchestration enabled e-SCMS process model is also proposed. The paper considers (a) layered-system architecture and (b) Quality of Service (QoS) attributes. The attribute enables an optimal web service selection scheme and takes into account the trust parameter of the service providers. The scheme also reduces the complexity. The results show reduced complexity, improved efficiency, and higher flexibility. An evaluation when considering the different criteria shows that the presented orchestration architecture offers an improved solution than existing approaches for designing a complex e-SCMS business process.
