The strategy of Metso Corporation and its business units is healthy, profitable growth achieved organically, by acquisitions and by new developments. This strategy means that Metso Automation system architecture will be multiple platforms, multiple sites and multiple applications exchanging information in the global business process. Metso Automation system development is globally coordinated and continues, based on this modular network-centric system structure. Each operative function such as sales (and sales office), manufacturing, product engineering have its own system application. These systems are loosely coupled together with agreed, standardised communication messages like order, invoice and order status. These two company integration cases show that the integration of modular systems can be done in a reasonable timeframe and with limited system technical work, and the main business goal, better service to the customer, can be reached.

The Chuetsu earthquake restoration and revival support geographic information system (GIS) project was launched after the 2004 Chuetsu earthquake. It was the first project to gather disaster GIS data at one place, and provide them by Web GIS from off–site of the disaster site in Japan. To facilitate sharing disaster geospatial information, we introduced a framework of Geography Network as GIS portal. The GIS portal was based on loosely–coupled system architecture. Therefore, it was able to change the system structure by system requirement of the project. The GIS portal was used continuously and commonly for the 2005 Fukuoka Earthquake and 2005–2006 Heavy Snow Disaster and the 2007 Chuetsu-Oki Earthquake. In this paper, we define the system requirement to share disaster geospatial information by knowledge from case studies, and describe a practical method to build the framework, demonstrate the benefit from the framework.

Under the national trend of manufacturing information and integration, cold-rolled sheet plants (CRSP) have begun to transform the manufacturing information in order to meet the fierce market competition. The upper information management (ERP) has already been basically realized in current market. However, the lower automation system and the upper information management system are not well integrated, causing a series of problems, such as basic data delay in the production line, being difficult to keep unanimous with the upper data and so on. To solve the above problems, efforts are paid on the combination of the manufacturing information system requirements and the research of MES system architecture, a set of MES system is established and the whole system architecture and function modules are designed in detail. Through the simulation of this system, it finds that the logistics and information flow can keep unanimous and the production efficiency will be greatly improved, which will create greater economic benefits.

Although implementation technology and standards for Component-Based Development (CBD) and Web services are nowadays widely used in enterprise system development, there is a strong need for truly component-oriented modeling methods. CBD methods proposed so far do not provide a necessary support for modeling various component and service concepts throughout a development life cycle. They mainly follow a bottom-up approach by treating components as implementation level artifacts for packaging software code. However, the component can be much more useful if it is treated as a building block of the logical system architecture. This chapter presents a service-oriented component modeling approach focused on the concepts of component and service as the main modeling and design artifacts. The approach provides a paradigm shift from components as objects to components as service managers. The approach is business-driven, flexible, and agile, providing an effective business/IT alignment in a component- and service-oriented manner.

Expert Support

This chapter describes the development of a system to assist teams in determining which problems to address and what data to collect in order to incrementally improve business processes. While prototyping is commonly advocated for expert system development, this project used a structured development methodology comprising requirements analysis, knowledge acquisition, and system development. The knowledge acquisition phase resulted in a logical model, which specified the decision task and suggested a system structure. The field prototype developed from this model uses procedural cuing to guide decision makers through a decision making process. The system provides decision support, interactive training, and expert advice.

The workflow between business and manufacturing system level is changing leading to delay in exploring the context of innovative ideas and solutions. Smart manufacturing systems progress rapid growth in integrating the operational capabilities of networking functionality and communication services with cloud-based enterprise architectures through runtime environment. Fine tuning aims to process intelligent management, flexible monitoring, dynamic network services using internet of things (IoT)-based service oriented architecture (SOA) solutions in numerous enterprise systems. SOA is an architectural pattern for building software business systems based on loosely coupled enterprise infrastructure services and components. The IoT-based SOA enterprise systems incorporate data elicitation, integrating agile methodologies, orchestrate underlying black-box services by promoting growth in manufacturer enterprises workflow. This chapter proposes the integration of standard workflow model between business system level and manufacturing production level with an IoT-enabled SOA framework.

An emerging class of technologies defined as Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been heralded as the answer for inflexible IT architecture and promises to reduce operational barriers of current IT infrastructures. In SOA, loosely coupled Web services are integrated to provide dynamic digital capabilities within and across enterprise boundaries. Little research exists on development processes of information systems using Web services and against certain development metrics. One way to perform such research is to propose a development approach, identify the metrics, and embed the metrics into the technique of service composition to allow system development with desired characteristics. This paper reports an approach to information system development based on Web services composition and the metrics designed for such approaches. This approach is based on semi-automatic, interactive, and iterative Web service composition -- a hybrid technique based on developing and searching an AND/OR graph for composite services discovery while taking into consideration human judgment for solution selection and validation by interactions in an iterative way. The composition process leverages historical Web service usage data and provides helpful suggestions to the users regarding available component services. The authors propose that the metrics can investigate the characteristics of such development approaches.
