Design and Implementation of the Container Terminal Operating System Based on Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)

Abstract

Due to the impact on IT architecture, the limitation of information planning, as well as the problems left over by history, etc., traditional terminal operating system are often unable to make rapid response to the multi-branch expansion, and unable to adapt and digest the impact on terminal operations made by the frequent changes in business processes. Firstly, on the basis of analyzing the container terminal business processes in detail, this paper sorted out the sequence of key processes. Then, on the basis of SOA model, combined with layered theory, through the design and combinational calling of Web services, the paper implemented a set of pivotal business processes. The characteristic of this paper is that the SOA theory is applied to terminal processes of container port industry. Integrated the general principles of SOA with the characteristics of container port industry, the paper built a more viable IT architecture, completed the Web services design of pivotal container terminal business processes, and realized the design practice of container terminal operating system.
