A Framework for Self-help Tourism Information System Based on SOA

摘要

With the rapid development of self-help tourism, the information needs have features such as wide-range, large-scale, and timely, and furthermore the need for managing distributed systems and providing seamless service is prominent in Self-help Tourism Information System (SHTIS). SOA can potentially address those needs and provide an application architecture for the interaction of existing and new distributed systems in SHTIS. Based on SOA, a framework of SHTIS is realized with Web Services Technology. This framework has achieved service management, service scheduling and integration by Tourism Service Bus (TSB). The framework fully reflects the loose coupling of SOA, the openness and standardization of Web Services. Overall, the framework addresses the complexity of the integration and interaction of heterogeneous systems in SHTIS, and may extend into other areas such as E-Commerce, E-Healthcare and E-Government areas.
