Development of enterprise information system using business component-based approach

Abstract

Facing the great challenges from various changes, the traditional enterprise information system is becoming obsolescent. The timely response to market changes has become the competitive advantage. In this paper, business component-based development of modem enterprise information system is studied. Based on the business component and its technology, business component-based software development process is proposed. A clustering algorithm is used to identify the business components from requirement model and a rules library is used to assemble the business components to a business application. Component-based hierarchy architecture of enterprise information system is established, which are software infrastructure layer, middleware container layer, business entity layer, business process layer and application interface layer. The business component-based enterprise information system has the rapid reconfigurability, reusability and extensibility to adapt itself to the changes of business environment.
