A Task Context Aware Physical Distribution Knowledge Service System

Abstract

A physical distribution task has typical characteristics of dynamic mobility: dynamic locations, time criticality, and environmental complexity. Research has focused on creating an environmental and task adaptive knowledge service system to support collaborative management of the physical distribution tasks. In this paper, four task context functions are established on the basis of defining customer context, product context, resource context, and network context of distribution task. A task context aware collaborative distribution knowledge service system is built with elaboration and discussion of the service system using an example of distribution center.

Research on Pervasive Knowledge Service Field

“…(1) Architecture of PKSF Architecture and performance of knowledge service field are the key facts to implement pervasive knowledge service [2][3][4][5][6]. While designing the architecture, to increase the efficiency, the response speed and the adaptability of system maximally, and to lower the complexity of system, Service Oriented Architecture (known as SOA) will be referenced, the demand-driven service and the service-driven technology will be carried out and loosely-coupled application components such as service components, paradigm components or configuration components will be deployed, combined and manipulated by way of distribution according to the demands.…”
