Title:
A
Model-Driven Design For Developing An Application For
Adaptive Distribution Chain Configuration
Abstract: The
research contribution of this paper is as follows: for
developing complex and large applications, the design stage is the most
important
stage and it has to be done in a programming language and platform
neutral way.
This is especially true when developing software like applications for
distribution chain configuration, where most of the coding is
mathematical
programming using diverse mathematics such as mixed-integer
programming,
genetic algorithm, fuzzy logic, stochastic programming, etc. Because of
the
heavy use of mathematics, this paper proposes the design using MATLAB,
which is
a platform and programming language neutral environment. After modeling
and
validation of the model for an adaptive distribution chain, MATLAB
automatically generates code that can be realized as service
components.
Finally, the application can be realized with Service Oriented
Architecture,
assembling the service components together.
