E-business software architecture based on temporal ECA rules and actions conflicts management

Abstract

Since business logic is complex and changes frequently, e-business software architecture becomes more complex and difficult to maintain. From the perspective of software architecture design, this paper proposes a temporal ECA based architecture for e-business systems (TECAB) representing business logic in the form of temporal ECA, sketches a conflict-managing mechanism based on meta-action. The TECAB can separate business logic from business processing reasonably and support dynamic e-business logic effectively. TECAB has been applied to develop CRM system application, integrated with the conflict-management mechanism and storing TECA rule and action constraint with XML language
