Abstract: The paper describes programming of advanced services addressed to logistics services to manage distributed functionalities in the Web environment. The program components are defined and the components operating principles. Considerations are referred to actually the most representative component technologies: Enterprise Java Bean (EJB), CORBA Component Model (CCM) and .NET of MS Corporation. They are illustrated by the implementation framework using in Web Services various types of program components independent on the data formats and programming languages which describe supplying chain management.
1. INTRODUCTION
Logistic services involved in transportation of the goods generate a large amount of data which has to be transferred and shared. Data are handled by the information management framework assuring proper and advanced service functionalities determined by used software application programs. In recent time for such services a new challenge makes their expansion cross of the world using the Web operations. For business purposes in the
Web a key role plays the system efficiency which can be upgraded by integration of services described by arbitrary the data formats and programming languages. The example can be supplying the chain management with the third-party logistics operations based on outsourced services [1]. Then, typical de-compartmentalization requires:
• operating of the distributed databases to provide the real-time operations, • handling of the multimodal transport; transport adjusted not only to product differentiation and tracing but also to customization on demand with WEB sites, • ability to be matched the different legislations and customs requirements covering the financial and multi time zones mainly by a Customer Relationship Management (CRM), • cost effectively support of low volume users in remote regions.
These and similar distributed functionalities of services from one side require more advanced network programming methods from other side the simple operating manner by re-using the sub-services described by autonomic blocks of program codes. As the single sub-services can’t provide a requested full service; to perform the complex services they have to be combined with the other Web accessible sub-services. Then, advantage makes the ability to reuse the partial services as a number of separated sub-services which can be put together in various configurations making Web composite system. (...)
