Jalal Kiswani, Muhanna Muhanna, Abdallah D. Qusef · 2017
Enterprise information systems are being widely and extensively used in many business domains. In fact, some of these domains cannot survive in operations without depending heavily on such systems. Although several research studies have been performed that explored the importance of enterprise information systems, only a few have been focusing on an effective and efficient end-to-end method to design and develop such systems. This paper presents a proposed approach of using a metadata model to design and implement APIs that can be utilized and reused as separate libraries to build enterprise information systems more effectively and efficiently than the traditional approaches. Primarily results of validating the proposed approach show promising potentials in reducing the manual development time and effort by an average of 64%.
