A model-based software development process for Supply Chain Monitoring applications

Supply Chain Monitoring (SCMo) systems are able to capture, monitor and provide correct real-time state information about physical activities in supply chain processes for Event Management, which improves efficiency and effectiveness of Supply Chain Management (SCM). Unfortunately, due to various logistic application scenarios, SCMo systems are complex and expensive to build. This paper proposes a software design and development process of MDSD, with which a SCMo system can be generated semi-automatically and quickly.
