Summary: | 博士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 電機工程系 === 107 === With rapid developments in Internet technologies and wireless communications in recent years, the world has seen a steady shift towards more mobilized communities. Almost all daily activities, business, trades, transactions, etc. can be performed over the Internet. In other words, the distance between people, businesses, and even countries seems to have reduced. However, as commercial activities become easier through the use of computers, mobiles, and handheld devices, companies face immense challenges with regard to networked, global manufacturing and big data fetching/maintaining.
Therefore, in this dissertation, we propose a new web-based Enterprise Resource Planning (e-ERP) based on web enabling technologies, which can be migrated rapidly from one traditional on-premise Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). Herein, we explore the evolution of ERP and e-Commerce, with reference to internet technologies, several important web topics, and cloud computing. Further, on the basis of information system architecture evaluation and realization results, we present the proposed method’s applications of elastic Model-View-Controller (MVC) e-ERP with Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) as well as how methods of web technologies and models of web engineering can be used for effectively hosting a trusted cloud ERP. Based on existing literature and related emerging technologies, this dissertation addresses and compares several holistic frameworks of web application development from both technical and business perspectives. Implementation results show that the proposed approach can host a secure cloud ERP effectively, and thereby, help companies do business efficiently.
The major contributions of this dissertation are summarized to the following four parts: 1) several holistic frameworks for web application development are compared, and an effective framework for integrating an enterprise’s information systems with Internet applications is presented, 2) the proposed elastic model–view–controller framework could assist decision-makers and help practitioners to prepare and realize such integration projects, 3) an interface for data sharing and exchange between two computer servers hosted in different nations is demonstrated on the basis of the proposed techniques, and 4) the information system architecture is evaluated to determine the validity of the proposed method.
