Research on the Dataflow Stability in Logistics Partner Information Exchange Protocol
Ning Chen, Xueyan Zhang · Logistics · 2009
The conventional logistics engineering industry is now entering a new age of enterprise informationization by leaps and bounds with the erection of PIEP—an Open Partner Information Exchange Protocol—to realize the synergy of information resources among different enterprises. But such rigidity makes it very difficult to exchange information data in a timely fashion, accurately and integrally among enterprises coordinated in developing projects. Therefore, it is becoming the core and crucial problem for PIEP to fully satisfy enterprises' demands on data exchange. By integrating data information and establishing the model of dataflow stability, an up-to-date method is blazed to choose and determine one of the most applicable partners for information interchange. The PIEP model is divided into two parts. One is aimed at the type of information processing among enterprise partners. The other is concentrated on the mathematical method of integrating information data. Finally, a case is given to explain the function of such a model.
