Enterprise System and Its Application in Aerospace Industry

Abstract

Enterprise systems (ES) or enterprise information systems (EIS) concepts have been researched and utilized for decades, but it was not until the past decade when they became popular in not only the areas of information systems and computer sciences, but also in those of business process management, business process reengineering, industrial engineering, systems engineering, business intelligence, government administration, e-commerce and e-business, and others. The growing needs of using ES to solve real-world problems require intensive study of ES-related techniques and applications. This study explores those ES techniques and their applications in the aerospace industry. Furthermore, an application case of information integration in spacecraft state detection is demonstrated.
