Integrated Geographic Information System with Enterprise-wide Business Application Based on Service Intelligent Agents

摘要

Geographic information system (GIS) is widely applied and plays an increasingly important role in enterprise business and decision-making issues since it entered into enterprise organization in 1990s. But it remains an isolated island beyond the enterprise information system since it has not integrated with enterprise business system perfectly. It puzzles the enterprise organization as well as GIS Developer that how to integrate GIS with enterprise business system and thus take advantage of the special role of GIS in spatial decision-making. The need of integration of GIS and business system has become a critical issue for organization management. We propose a prototype system which integrates GIS with enterprise business application transparently,seamlessly, effectively and efficiently based on service intelligence agents. Both GIS and business workflows are modeled by web services and integrated into a single portal in this system. We create these web services elements following the rule of atomic and inseparably. By compiling the model into separate elements for each component workflow, the system invokes sequence of web services to satisfied user’s command.
