Abstract: This paper proposes an Extensive CRON-Driven Automation Service Architecture (ECASA) for RSS (RDF Site Summary) feed. The ECASA provides an efficient CRON-driven framework that automatically and periodically creates one's own feeds, offers powerful automatic services to enhance the flexibility and functionality of increasingly complex enterprise– and university-wide websites, and maintains a live RSS news feed in a forum driven from CRON. The ECASA features its capability to periodically distribute RSS over the web; offering multiuser multioutput RSS services and providing conjunction with databases to make enterprises automatically and dynamically exchange online information of all possible types and sizes. On the basis of the ECASA, we have developed an automation service system of RSS feed for the school affairs system at Southern Taiwan University of Technology. The system proves to be an optimal information system, which creates our own feeds automatically with current news headlines from databases, provides a better solution with multiuser RSS interface and CRON utilities, sets up background refreshing, dynamically generates news feed as we like, and adds these updated news contents into the list without any human effort.
