A real-time event driven architecture for management information system

Time, cost and scope are the three essential elements of a business process. It is very important to balance these elements in an enterprise information system. A real-time event driven information system architecture is proposed in this paper to solve this problem. In this architecture, RSS is introduced into the management information system to provide an effective information exchange channel; the communication model combining the publish/subscribe paradigm with the blackboard paradigm is applied to balance the system information integration and communication bottleneck. Agents representing users can automatically retrieval the real-time event information via its semantic sensor which is of the function of fuzzy sensing and matchmaking.
