Industrial Supply Chain Coordination Based on Real-Time Web Service

Abstract

Integrating and coordinating supply chain business operations using intelligent wireless web (IWW) technology has been appreciated in many industries. In the IWW operational environment, real-time business process data collection using the internet of things (IoT) technology, web service, and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques play an enormous role in practical deployment purposes. This chapter explains how the IWW services and capabilities can be deployed in real-time coordination in supply chain management, and the feasibility of semantic technology has been depicted with the help of a business scenario. This chapter presents the main concepts of ontology-based semantic web service architecture for interconnecting distributed business operations in supply chain management. An ontology-based Semantic Web service discovery architecture (SWSDA) for the industrial supply chain is described as a business case. The concept of description logic (DL) and a service concept similarity assessment based on an algorithm are presented in this chapter.
