Abstract
Problem Solving Environment (PSE) is a new and diverse area of research, and till now it resists simple universally accepted definitions. In brief, PSE is a complete and integrated computing environment in which new application can be constructed, compiled and executed. This paper describes the concept and software architecture of a PSE for Enterprise computing (E-PSE). The E-PSE is developed to provide transparent access to heterogeneous distributed computing resources in one enterprise, and is to improve research productivity by making it easier to construct, compile and run computer applications so that the enterprise can achieve more advanced economic benefit as soon as possible. The E-PSE includes four modules: Visual Enterprise Modeling System, Visual Application Construction Environment, Application Wrapping & Integrating Tool and Application Runtime Environment. The application of the E-PSE in an oil-refining enterprise is presented. Related work about PSE is also described.
