Electronic Data Interchange on Logistics System Based on Embedded Linux

Abstract

EDI is an important part of logistics information technology and is also the basis and prerequisite of the implementation for supply chain logistics information system. This paper researches on electronic data interexchange of embedded Linux to promote EDI technology to be widely used in the field of logistics control. First, the paper studies kernel structure of embedded Linux that includes process scheduling, memory management, virtual file system, network interface, inter-process communication and methods and procedures of kernel cutting; then, we can research a number of issues in the logistics field of electronic data interchange supported by embedded Linux. The issues include workflow, hierarchical structure and main applications and so on. Contents of this paper extend the application area and support environment of EDI. In addition, it is an important research direction in logistics informatization used EDI technology.
