Port-Bonded Zone Collaboration information system based on SOA

Port-Bonded Zone Collaboration (PBZC) plays a significant role in international trade and logistics, it is the prelude toward Free Trade Zone as being widely operated abroad. With diverse heterogeneous application systems concerned, PBZC information system runs with low interoperability and interactivity. Recently, SOA has evolved to become a promising technology for seamless integration of heterogeneous systems, which can enhance reuse possibilities to a variety of legacy systems. It can be exactly applied as an efficient solution on PBZC information system. In this paper, firstly we propose a brief introduction for the business patterns of PBZC and diverse systems concerned; Secondly an integrated framework of PBZC information system based on SOA is presented, and the functions for each layer is discussed in details; Thirdly, the web service encapsulation of diverse systems involving PBZC is illustrated; In the end, we validate the framework and approach through a real-life case.
