| Abstract [eng] |
This paper investigates the interoperability solutions and specific methods of the reconciliation of business rules, small and medium-sized business (hereinafter referred to as SMB) management in information systems, as well as the problems and opportunities related to such reconciliation. The main objective of the research is to review and analyse the problems of business rules reconciliation and their solutions. The paper will attempt to create a method based on results, which will allow users to reconcile business rules in enterprise interoperability solutions more effectively. The goal of the paper is to investigate existing reconciliation methods of business rules, their limitations and possibilities, as well as offer a method which will be more effective in reconciling negotiation rules of two or more companies. Utilising the proposed method, the paper aims to find solutions to the problems related to automated negotiations where previously outlined negotiation rules between two or more parties are automatically reconciled and applied to the exchanged business documents with a minimal participation of people. The need for such research arose from the increased competition between SMBs, the necessity to enhance companies’ interoperability when fulfilling orders, as well as the pursuit to offer more effective, better quality services. The paper consists of the introduction, six parts and the conclusion. The first four parts encapsulate the relevance of the problem, the definition of the paper’s goals and tasks, acquaint with the structure of the research, offer comprehensive overview and analysis of existing solutions, define the concept of the intended solution and describe the requirements’ specifications. The system plan corresponding to the established requirements is presented. The method of business rules reconciliation, the conditions, which the experiment requires, and the novelty of the research are presented in Part 5. The research on business rules reconciliation method is generalised in Part 6. |
