ICISLM: Design of an integrated cloud information system for logistic management based on web server virtualization

Abstract

This research aims to design an integrated cloud information system for logistic management (ICISLM) based on web server virtualization and Software as a Service (SaaS) architecture. Based on web server virtualization technology, ICISLM provides rentable and scalable environments for enterprises, enabling enterprise customers to operate the system without the need to install any software or manage the cloud servers. The aim of ICISLM is to provide a single system that can satisfy warehouse management, logistics monitoring, and downstream customer needs. A workflow dispatch mechanism was designed to dynamically dispatch the services host and to stabilize system operation. A case study is provided to verify the function of logistics service pools.
