TL;DR: This paper proposes DEVISE: a methodology for building Web services based infrastructure for collaborative enterprises, comprising applications designed as a collection of Web services and a computer human interface.
Abstract: Web services define a new paradigm in present-day collaborative application development in enterprises, and span systems, networks, and organizations. Emerging computing infrastructures provide direct support for Web services technologies. A characteristic feature of the current efforts in the direction of Web services is the inclination towards providing rich and sophisticated tools for leveraging Web services functionality. Though this aids one in collaborative application "development" using Web services, from the point of view of application "design", it leaves much to be desired, when one considers closing in of the legendary "semantic gap" between a collaborative enterprise application and the infrastructure support. In this paper, we propose DEVISE: a methodology for building Web services based infrastructure for collaborative enterprises, comprising applications designed as a collection of Web services and a computer human interface.

TL;DR: A multi-level model of the evaluation system for employee turnover risk based on the analysis of factors influencing Employee turnover risk is proposed and an analytic system based on knowledge management is proposed.
Abstract: In the time of knowledge economy, competency among enterprises is focused on the competency of human resources. Employee turnover risk is becoming an important facet influencing the stability and development of enterprises. After analyzing employee turnover risk factors that could threaten enterprise production and operations, we proposed a multi-level model of the evaluation system for employee turnover risk based on the analysis of factors influencing employee turnover risk. A decision support system is proposed for employee turnover risk management using message processing mechanisms and software combination technology and system integration. Data, information and knowledge needed in the system come from enterprises' internal application systems and external systems. The structure and components of the system which is based on Web Services are presented. We also proposed an analytic system based on knowledge management. At last, strategies to effectively manage employee turnover risk are proposed.

TL;DR: The proposed WS–CTM framework is developed to collaboratively manage transportation and distribution for a supply chain of thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT–LCD) to reduce the uncertainty in distribution, and improve the supply chain performance.
Abstract: Under the fierce global competition, enterprises face the challenge to respond quickly and accurately to customers' diverse requirements. Excessive lead time, improper control of transportation resources and inaccessibility of tracking information may lead to ineffective and unreliable delivery. The seamless integration of trading partners such as suppliers, manufacturers and global third party logistics service providers (G3PLs) can improve the supply chain execution. With supply chain collaboration, lead time can be significantly shortened whereas the resource utilisation can be highly improved. Recently, collaborative transportation management (CTM) has provided the collaborative mechanisms of information sharing and order fulfillment for carriers and trading partners in supply chains. CTM initiative can reduce the ineffective transportation sections and better the delivery effectiveness. The heterogeneous information systems first should be integrated for starting up information sharing and data integration among carriers and trading partners. Web services possess characteristics of flexibility and interoperability that are suited for developing the inter-enterprise collaboration platform by integrating heterogeneous systems. With the web-services based CTM (WS-CTM), carrier and trading partners can collaborate on the process of order fulfilment. In this paper, the WS-CTM framework is developed to collaboratively manage transportation and distribution for a supply chain of thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD). The proposed WS-CTM can assist the panel manufacturers, system manufacturers and G3PLs to reduce the uncertainty in distribution, and improve the supply chain performance.

TL;DR: This thesis presents piSOD-M (Policy-based Service Oriented Development Methodology), a methodology for modeling reliable service-based applications using policies, and presents a classification and nomenclature for non-functional requirements for developing service-oriented applications.
Abstract: This thesis presents piSOD-M (Policy-based Service Oriented Development Methodology),
a methodology for modeling reliable service-based applications using policies It proposes a
model driven method with: (i) a set of meta-models for representing non-functional constraints
associated to service-based applications, starting from an use case model until a service composition
model; (ii) a platform providing guidelines for expressing the composition and the
policies; (iii) model-to-model and model-to-text transformation rules for semi-automatizing
the implementation of reliable service-based applications; and (iv) an environment that implements
these meta-models and rules, and enables the application of ⇡SOD-M This thesis
also presents a classification and nomenclature for non-functional requirements for developing
service-oriented applications Our approach is intended to add value to the development of
service-oriented applications that have quality requirements needs This work uses concepts
from the service-oriented development, non-functional requirements design and model-driven
development areas to propose a solution that minimizes the problem of reliable service modeling
Some examples are developed as proof of concepts

TL;DR: The πSOD-M method is presented, an extension to the Service-Oriented Development Method to support the development of services software by considering their functional and non-functional requirements.
Abstract: This paper presents the πSOD-M method, an extension to the Service-Oriented Development Method (SOD-M) to support the development of services software by considering their functional and non-functional requirements. Specifically, πSOD-M proposes: (i) meta-models for representing non-functional requirements at different abstraction levels; (ii) model-to-model transformation rules, useful to semi-automatically refine Platform Independent Models into Platform Specific Models; and (iii) rules to transform Platform Specific Models into concrete implementations. In order to illustrate our proposal, the paper also describes how to apply the methodology to develop a proof of concept.

TL;DR: The process of successive refinement of specifications is illustrated by a short but nontrivial example, from which a number of conclusions are drawn regarding the art and the instruction of programming.
Abstract: The creative activity of programming--to be distinguished from coding--is usually taught by examples serving to exhibit certain techniques. It is here considered as a sequence of design decisions concerning the decomposition of tasks into subtasks and of data into data structures. The process of successive refinement of specifications is illustrated by a short but nontrivial example, from which a number of conclusions are drawn regarding the art and the instruction of programming.
