The growth in Internet and Information Technology (IT) has led to
revolutionary changes in the way businesses are managed and
operated. These IT changes have been largely characterized with the
term, globalization, and these globalized changes in modern
business are increasing at a rapid pace. Moreover, globalization
requires rapid growth and dramatic changes in the business and
market environments.
Enterprises must be scalable to support such changes and
unprecedented growth. Hence, there is an immediate need for a
single reference book that identifies the multiple dimensions of
scalability and enterprise systems. This book will fulfill this
need. Its objectives are as follows:
*To create a single source of literature to address the emerging
area of scalable enterprise systems.
*To address the multi-disciplinary research needs stemming from
engineering, computer science and business.
*To address the design, modelling, analysis, implementation and
experimentation needs of scalable enterprise systems.
*To act as a springboard for much of the ongoing research in the
field of Scalable Enterprise Systems.
Scalable Enterprises Systems: An Introduction to Recent Advances
addresses six key ideas related to scalable enterprise systems.
Chapters 1, 2 and 3 address the modelling aspects of enterprise
systems. Chapter 4 discusses distributed control of such systems.
Chapter 5 discusses the information systems modelling and
implementation of the enterprise system with a transportation
example. Given that enterprise systems produce and deal with large
volumes of data, data mining is taken as a topic in Chapter 6. The
need for a research test-bed is critical to study andanalyze
enterprise systems and this is the topic of Chapter 7.
Implementation level details play a vital role in studying the
scalability of large-scale systems. Chapters 8, 9 and 10 deal with
several applied and implementation aspects, such as
publish-subscribe middleware, auctions in the context of reverse
logistics, and value net implementation.
This book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners
in the field of logistics, supply chain management, transportation,
and enterprise integration. It will be of special interest to
professionals in IT at the detailed implementation level and at the
strategic level.
