This article proposes a pragmatic approach to software composition based on matching criteria by mimicking integrated hardware counterpart. The tangible value of consumer goods as described by Cox instills this logical derivation of the proposed approach. As software gradually matures in component form, various software compositions can be systematically assembled from related existing software. Two application software are composed based on their functionality matching. Their composition complexities are measured by function point. The total effort unveils a noteworthy finding that high complexity software demands larger effort to deploy. Thus, the proposed software composition framework not only offers the freedom of development mandates to the development team, but also broadens the horizon of cost and project evaluations by arriving at the proper mix of constituent components in the software product.

“…This heterogeneity has resulted in significant differences across EHRs in terms of their data representations, let alone communication and interoperability between them. Interoperability complexities occur in several forms [12,7,4]: these include system, syntactic, structural semantic, and security complexities. Various methods have been suggested to resolve system and syntactic interoperability problems, which are often easier to resolve [12,7].…”

Recent advances in informatics and computing are increasingly becoming essential factors for realising major improvement in healthcare. The delivery of the right information about the right patient at the point of care is central to a well-integrated healthcare process. However, the high sensitivity of the clinical domain and the vast differences in health data and systems pose a great interoperability challenge for solutions that do not employ strong semantic principles as core to the interoperation process to sufficiently scale. This paper presents a model-based approach that utilises domain ontologies combined with extensible problem models, driven by rich domain terminology and knowledge services at the centre of the process to enable autonomous data governance and semantic interoperability. The paper addresses the resulting requirements and proposes a solution outlining the results from the prototype of the approach.

“…Numerous organizations started using the web as means to automate interactive relationships with their business partners through both internal and external enterprise e‐commerce based applications. The central concern in such applications, which composed of autonomous, heterogeneous, and distributed components, are the interactions among systems especially in areas such as databases, and knowledge based systems (El‐Khatib et al , 2002). Interactions in e‐commerce occur in three layers: communication, content and business process layers.…”

“…This service facilitates automated interactions between business partners that is accessible by clients, which is not restricted to human user alone but software applications as well. Using standard web protocols (Murray and Golluscio, 2002; Systinet, 2002), web services represent business logic (Thomas and Griffin, 1996; El–Khatib et al , 2002) that can be accessed by anyone, anywhere via any type of hardware. Web services standards technologies are based on open standards service‐oriented architecture recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) (2004).…”

PurposeThis paper seeks to elicit the challenges faced by the UAE dates industry in adopting and aligning its business strategy with the use of information system and information technology (IS/IT) within its operations.Design/methodology/approachThe adopted approach is based on the combination of conclusive feedback research technique and action research. The intention is to elicit background information in its initial phase, formulate an interim solution, which will evolve through users' constant feedbacks into a full‐blown desirable system.FindingsHighlights the UAE dates industry existing state of readiness in adopting IS/IT and the extent of optimizing supply‐chain management business practices.Research limitations/implicationsTransforming organization manual operations to achieve efficiency towards strategic effectiveness is a lengthy process. While quantitative and qualitative evidences suggest the adoption of a certain solution, the benefits yield cannot be realized overnight.Practical implicationsThis research proposes a paradigm shift in the organization's culture. Adopting supply‐chain principles and implementing a strategy to align both business and use of IS/IT will facilitate an elevation for UAE dates factory to be one of the economy contributing industries.Originality/valueThis research addresses existing states of readiness to implement IS/IT within the UAE dates factory, proposes supply‐chain model customized to UAE dates factory and highlights challenges faced by the factory in implementing the strategic alignment of its business through IS/IT optimization.
