Interworkflow system: coordination of each workflow system among multiple organizations 跨工作流系统:在多个组织之间协调每个工作流系统
Keiko Hiramatsu, Ken-ichi Okada, Y. Matsushita, H. Hayami
Nowadays in many enterprises, for the purpose of efficiency improvement and the automation of the business, the workflow management system of the business process is coming into wide use. However, an individual workflow management system is introduced into each organization so the workflow system is effective as a business support inside a single organization, but it is difficult to apply this management system to coordinate business among more than two organizations. We propose Interworkflow system which coordinates each workflow system among multiple organizations. The Interworkflow system consists of three sub-systems and has a user friendly interface. We report on the fact that we have constructed an actual Interworkflow system that coordinates multiple workflow systems and confirm that it functioned effectively.
如今在许多企业中,为了提高效率和实现业务自动化,业务流程工作流管理系统得到了广泛的应用。然而,由于每个组织都引入了一个单独的工作流管理系统,因此工作流系统可以有效地作为单个组织内部的业务支持,但很难应用该管理系统来协调两个以上组织之间的业务。我们提出了跨工作流系统,它协调多个组织之间的各个工作流系统。工作流交互系统由三个子系统组成,具有友好的用户界面。我们报告了这样一个事实,即我们已经构建了一个实际的跨工作流系统来协调多个工作流系统,并确认它有效地运行。

Merging inheritance hierarchies for database integration 合并继承层次结构以实现数据库集成
I. Schmitt, G. Saake
Merging inheritance hierarchies with overlapping class extensions and types is an essential task in database design. In the context of view integration and schema integration for federated databases and multidatabases conflicting inheritance hierarchies have to be merged. Inheritance hierarchies often occur explicitly in object-oriented databases as well as implicitly in relational databases. Since a concept lattice can be regarded as an inheritance hierarchy we propose to apply the theory of concept analysis to the problem of merging inheritance hierarchies. After investigating the power and complexity of concept analysis algorithms we provide a new algorithm tailored to our problem. The new algorithm has polynomial complexity and helps to optimize the resulting hierarchy with respect to certain quality criteria, e.g. number of classes and null values. An example demonstrates the practicability of our approach to merge conflicting inheritance hierarchies.
合并具有重叠类扩展和类型的继承层次结构是数据库设计中的一项重要任务。在联邦数据库和多数据库的视图集成和模式集成上下文中,必须合并冲突的继承层次结构。继承层次结构通常显式地出现在面向对象数据库中,而隐式地出现在关系数据库中。由于概念格可以看作是一个继承层次,我们提出将概念分析理论应用于继承层次的合并问题。在研究了概念分析算法的功能和复杂性之后,我们提供了一个适合我们问题的新算法。新算法具有多项式复杂度,并有助于根据某些质量标准(例如类的数量和空值)优化生成的层次结构。一个示例演示了合并冲突继承层次结构的方法的实用性。

Scheduling non-enforceable contracts among autonomous agents 在自治代理之间调度不可执行的契约
T. Tesch, K. Aberer
With the emergence of fast and standardized communication infrastructures over which separately designed agents of different organizations can interact in real-time, there is an increasing demand for cooperation mechanisms that allow to carry out inter-organizational cooperations in a safe way. The lack of external control over an agent's decisions, resources and actions hamper the usage of traditional transaction and workflow technology to make self-interested agents cooperate, i.e., agents cannot not be forced from a mediating cooperation instance to continue a cooperation. The challenge is, therefore, to design a cooperation mechanism that motivates cooperating agents to carry out a specified contract and, in case of unilateral defection, ensures that none of the cooperators can benefit from the situation. In this paper we present a domain independent framework how non-enforceable cooperations can be made safe against unilateral defection. We have developed a utility-based scheduling algorithm that keeps a cooperation in equilibrium and that motivates agents to continue a cooperation as long as it is for all participants beneficial.
随着快速和标准化的通信基础设施的出现,不同组织的单独设计的代理可以实时交互,对允许以安全的方式进行组织间合作的合作机制的需求不断增加。由于缺乏对代理决策、资源和行为的外部控制,传统的事务和工作流技术难以使自利代理进行合作,即不能强迫代理从一个协调的合作实例中继续合作。因此,挑战在于设计一种合作机制,激励合作的代理人执行特定的合同,并在发生单边背叛的情况下,确保没有任何一个合作者能从这种情况中获益。在本文中,我们提出了一个领域无关的框架,如何使非强制合作能够安全地防止单边背叛。我们开发了一种基于效用的调度算法,该算法使合作处于均衡状态,并激励代理继续合作,只要对所有参与者都有利。

Context in information bases 信息库中的上下文
Manos Theodorakis, A. Analyti, P. Constantopoulos, N. Spyratos
Although semantic data models provide expressive conceptual modeling mechanisms, they do not support context, i.e. providing controlled partial information on conceptual entities by viewing them from different viewpoints or in different situations. The authors present a model for representing contexts in information bases along with a set of operations for manipulating contexts. These operations support creating, updating, combining, and comparing contexts. The model contributes to the efficient handling of information, especially in distributed, cooperative environments, as it enables (i) representing (possibly overlapping) partitions of an information base; (ii) partial representations of objects, (iii) flexible naming (e.g. relative names, synonyms and homonyms), (iv) focusing attention, and (v) combining and comparing different partial representations. The work advances towards the development of a formal framework intended to clarify several theoretical and practical issues related to the notion of context. The use of context in a cooperative environment is illustrated through a detailed example.
尽管语义数据模型提供了表达性的概念建模机制,但它们不支持上下文,即通过从不同的角度或在不同的情况下查看概念实体来提供受控的部分信息。作者提出了一个在信息库中表示上下文的模型,以及一组操作上下文的操作。这些操作支持创建、更新、组合和比较上下文。该模型有助于有效地处理信息,特别是在分布式、协作环境中,因为它允许(i)表示信息库的分区(可能重叠);(ii)对象的部分表征,(iii)灵活命名(如相对名称、同义词和同音异义),(iv)集中注意力,(v)组合和比较不同的部分表征。这项工作朝着制定一个正式框架的方向发展,旨在澄清与背景概念有关的几个理论和实践问题。通过一个详细的例子来说明上下文在合作环境中的使用。

Meta-data based mediator generation 基于元数据的中介生成
T. Critchlow, M. Ganesh, R. Musick
Mediators are a critical component of any data warehouse; they transform data from source formats to the warehouse representation while resolving semantic and syntactic conflicts. The close relationship between mediators and databases requires a mediator to be updated whenever an associated schema is modified. Failure to quickly perform these updates significantly reduces the reliability of the warehouse because queries do not have access to the most current data. This may result in incorrect or misleading responses, and reduce user confidence in the warehouse. Unfortunately, this maintenance may be a significant undertaking if a warehouse integrates several dynamic data sources. This paper describes a meta-data framework, and associated software, designed to automate a significant portion of the mediator generation task and thereby reduce the effort involved in adapting to schema changes. By allowing the DBA to concentrate on identifying the modifications at a high level, instead of reprogramming the mediator, turnaround time is reduced and warehouse reliability is improved.
中介器是任何数据仓库的关键组件;它们将数据从源格式转换为仓库表示,同时解决语义和语法冲突。中介和数据库之间的密切关系要求在关联模式被修改时更新中介。不能快速执行这些更新会大大降低仓库的可靠性,因为查询不能访问最新的数据。这可能导致不正确或误导性的响应,并降低用户对仓库的信心。不幸的是,如果仓库集成了几个动态数据源,那么这种维护可能是一项重大任务。本文描述了一个元数据框架和相关的软件,它被设计用于自动化大部分中介生成任务,从而减少适应模式更改所涉及的工作量。通过允许DBA集中精力在高层次上识别修改,而不是重新编程中介,可以减少周转时间并提高仓库可靠性。

A client group-server DBMS architecture and inter-client communication caching schemes in the WAN environment 广域网环境中的客户端组-服务器DBMS体系结构和客户端间通信缓存方案
K. Park, H. Kang
Previous research on the client-server DBMS has focused on the client data caching schemes in the LAN-based client-server architectures. We investigate the issue of client data caching in the WAN environment. In the WAN environment, it is common that many clients are clustered in some local area, connected to each other over a LAN, and often request the same data to the same remote server. To take advantage of such a characteristic, we considered a client group-server DBMS architecture, in which the clients connected over a LAN in each local area form a client group and communicate with the server via a broker, a special client that belongs to the group and maintains cache consistency in its group on behalf of the server. We propose the data caching scheme called ICCC (Inter-Client Communication Caching) that fits the client group-server DBMS architecture. In ICCC, cached data can be shared among clients within the group through inter-client communication under the intervention of their broker. We conducted simulation experiments to evaluate the performance of ICCC. The results showed that ICCC considerably outperformed the standard callback locking scheme employed in the WAN environment.
以往对客户机-服务器DBMS的研究主要集中在基于局域网的客户机-服务器体系结构中的客户机数据缓存方案上。我们研究了广域网环境中的客户机数据缓存问题。在WAN环境中,许多客户机聚集在某个本地区域,通过LAN相互连接,并且经常向同一远程服务器请求相同的数据,这是很常见的。为了利用这种特性,我们考虑了一个客户端组-服务器DBMS体系结构,在该体系结构中,通过每个本地区域的LAN连接的客户端形成一个客户端组,并通过代理(属于该组并代表服务器维护其组中的缓存一致性的特殊客户端)与服务器通信。我们提出了一种适合客户端组-服务器DBMS体系结构的数据缓存方案,称为ICCC(客户端间通信缓存)。在ICCC中,缓存的数据可以在组内的客户端之间通过客户端间通信在其代理的干预下共享。我们进行了仿真实验来评估ICCC的性能。结果表明,ICCC大大优于WAN环境中使用的标准回调锁定方案。

A recipe structure for plan execution in dynamic worlds 在动态世界中执行计划的配方结构
S. Au, J. Liang, N. Parameswaran
In hostile and dynamic worlds, resource limited agents for problem solving will have to be both reactive and deliberative. However, for complex worlds, deliberative activities (which typically involve world modeling, goal generation, planning, negotiation, etc.) are not only time consuming, but also require greater expertise on the agent. There are several real world scenarios where an expert (a specialist agent) supplies the necessary knowledge to a resource-limited agent (a general agent) to solve its problem. We suggest that this knowledge be in the form of a recipe. We propose a recipe structure to encode the actions required to be executed through explicit planning, and the behaviors to be exhibited in time critical situations. The general agent translates the recipe into plans (as mental attributes) incrementally, and executes them. We also present the details of an implementation of this execution strategy, where we translate the recipe incrementally into a progressively abstract plan structure in a fire world.
在充满敌意和动态的世界中,解决问题的资源有限的代理必须同时具有反应性和慎重性。然而,对于复杂的世界,审议活动(通常涉及世界建模、目标生成、计划、协商等)不仅耗费时间,而且还需要代理具有更多的专业知识。有几个现实世界的场景,其中专家(专家代理)向资源有限的代理(普通代理)提供必要的知识来解决其问题。我们建议将这些知识以配方的形式呈现出来。我们提出了一个配方结构来编码需要通过明确的计划执行的操作,以及在时间紧迫的情况下要展示的行为。总代理逐渐将配方转换为计划(作为心理属性),并执行它们。我们还提供了该执行策略实现的细节,其中我们将配方增量地转换为火焰世界中逐步抽象的计划结构。

Action Port Model: a mixed paradigm conceptual workflow modeling language 动作端口模型:一种混合范式的概念性工作流建模语言
S. Carlsen
Workflow technology is a particular kind of IT for supporting work by enacting explicitly modeled and represented business processes. Thus, conceptual models of business and work processes are essential for process design as well as for process support in the form of workflow enactment. The author describes the APM (Action Port Model) workflow modeling language which builds upon existing IS conceptual modeling languages. Even if based on traditional languages, APM is intended to be the basis for a flexible workflow support environment supporting ad hoc workflow, conform to ideas of workflow models as plans for situated action.

Using multiple mobile agents for distributed transactions 为分布式事务使用多个移动代理
H. Vogler, A. Buchmann
Agent systems are well suited for applications requiring great flexibility. We propose a mechanism that uses multiple mobile agents to implement distributed transactions in a wide area network. Of special interest are applications in which resources change over time. By using multiple, mobile and autonomous agents in our model we are able to monitor resources in a distributed system and to react to changes in a very flexible manner. Each agent is responsible for a single resource and corresponds with the Object Transaction Service (OTS) for the coordination of the global transaction. For the management and the control of the agents we propose X-TRA, our extensible trusted agent system which offers a trust service for agent identification and control with exactly once semantics for agent migration, controlled agent termination, grouping of agents, and a bank service.
代理系统非常适合需要很大灵活性的应用程序。我们提出了一种利用多个移动代理在广域网中实现分布式事务的机制。特别感兴趣的是资源随时间变化的应用程序。通过在我们的模型中使用多个移动的自主代理,我们能够监控分布式系统中的资源,并以非常灵活的方式对变化做出反应。每个代理负责单个资源,并与对象事务服务(OTS)相对应,以协调全局事务。对于代理的管理和控制,我们提出了X-TRA,我们的可扩展可信代理系统,它提供了代理识别和控制的信任服务,具有代理迁移,受控代理终止,代理分组和银行服务的精确一次语义。

Query evaluation for distributed heterogeneous relational databases 分布式异构关系数据库的查询求值
Yangjun Chen, W. Benn
In this paper, we consider the query evaluation problem in relational multidatabases and develop a method for generating optimal plans for queries submitted to such a system. Two aspects will be discussed: join tree balance and node allocation. For the first problem, we extend the approach for balancing a join tree proposed by Du et al, so that more balanced join trees can be obtained, when, we present the concepts of dynamic time tables and constrained topological order to do the node allocation so that both the current load states of local database systems and load changes during the join operations can be handled. In this way, the deficiency of Evrendilek's method can be removed.
在本文中,我们考虑了关系多数据库中的查询评估问题,并开发了一种为提交给这种系统的查询生成最优计划的方法。本文将讨论两个方面:联接树平衡和节点分配。对于第一个问题,我们扩展了Du等人提出的平衡连接树的方法,从而获得更加平衡的连接树,同时我们提出了动态时间表和约束拓扑顺序的概念来进行节点分配,从而可以处理本地数据库系统的当前负载状态和连接操作期间的负载变化。这样就可以消除Evrendilek方法的不足。

Two aspects will be discussed: join tree balance and node allocation. For the first problem, we extend the approach for balancing a join tree proposed by Du et al, so that more balanced join trees can be obtained, when, we present the concepts of dynamic time tables and constrained topological order to do the node allocation so that both the current load states of local database systems and load changes during the join operations can be handled. In this way, the deficiency of Evrendilek's method can be removed.","PeriodicalId":106219,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 3rd IFCIS International Conference on Cooperative Information Systems (Cat.
