This paper presents a model-driven approach to the specification of situations and situation detection. We offer two main contributions: (i) a Situation Modeling Language (SML), which is a graphical language for situation modeling, and (ii) an approach to situation detection based on the transformation of a SML model into a set of rules to be executed on a rule-based platform. We exemplify our situation-based development approach with an application scenario in the domain of (mobile) banking, in which situations for detecting fraud-susceptible behavior are defined in SML. Based on the SML models, we discuss the rules that can be deployed on Drools for situation detection. The approach supports situation types defined in terms of patterns of facts, as well as complex situations in terms of reusable situation types, both at the specification level and realization level.

In a service-oriented architecture, adaptive and evolvable applications should be able to select, configure and compose different existing application services to deal with the changes which can arise from runtime contextual changes or the change of user requirements and preferences. To support this, hybrid service composition approaches have been proposed, in which the core of application logic, which is rather stable, is specified in terms of processes while rules are employed to specify the conditions and constraints to adapt the application behaviour. The rules are then exposed as a decision service which can be employed by the process to make adaptation decision with respect to runtime circumstances. The interaction between processes and decision services are generally performed in synchronous request-response manner. We argue that such an interaction is not efficient to support different types of adaptation at runtime and therefore asynchronous interaction should also be supported. In this paper, we present an adaptive service provisioning architecture and a decision service template allowing both synchronous request-response interaction and asynchronous notification. To motivate the proposed architecture and the decision service template, we use a blood pressure monitoring scenario from the homecare domain. We also explain the implementation of the proposed approach based on commercially available rule and process engines. Finally, we discuss: 1) what is the efficient way (synchronous request-response interaction vs. asynchronous notification) of calling decision service to execute different types of decision rules? and 2) to what extent the use of decision service facilitates dealing with the unforeseen changes?

One of the difficult challenges in inter-enterprise computing is aligning business transactions and technical management of distributed transactions, especially in breach situations. We propose and analyse a two-level business transaction management framework that allows injection of business level concerns to the control processes of inter-enterprise transactions. The two levels are associated with a) the metamodel of the collaboration, captured in eContract governing the collaboration, and b) the transactional interactions between collaboration member services. The two levels are bound together to form a reflective model, while business level breaches to the eContract can disturb the normal interactions, the metalevel possesses processes for managing (rolling back, compensating, ignoring, triggering ecosystem-level consequences) the failure in manners that align with the business incentives. This framework enables correctness, coherence and efficiency of processing in open inter-enterprise environments, i.e., service ecosystems.

Most modern contributions for flexible workflow management propose proprietary solutions or extensions of standard workflow execution engines to enable the required runtime control-flow deviations. This fact results from the widespread viewpoint that for the realization of deviations, manipulations should be performed directly on the concerned workflow model or instance. It is neglected that most contemporary workflow management systems already contain a very strong concept for runtime deviations, namely sub-processes which can be replaced with new versions at any time. In this paper, we show that execution flexibility concepts like variant construction, aspect orientation and runtime adaptation can be emulated by regular workflow models. For this purpose, we propose a generic automated design-time model transformation technique which extracts variant workflow parts to sub-processes, makes use of "adaptation processes" following a specific pattern syntax and generates a selector structure performing recursive sub-process calls supported by a rule engine. Its main benefit consists in a general reduction of implementation efforts for flexible workflow engines. For evaluation purposes, a reference implementation of our model transformation approach was realized in SAP Net Weaver BPM/BRM and produces fully BPMN2 compliant executable artifacts together with a rule set, which is used as the main interface for the specification of frequently changing process deviations.
大多数针对灵活工作流管理的现代贡献都提出了专有的解决方案或标准工作流执行引擎的扩展，以支持所需的运行时控制流偏差。这一事实源于一种普遍的观点，即为了实现偏差，操作应该直接在相关的工作流模型或实例上执行。大多数现代工作流管理系统已经包含了一个非常强大的运行时偏差的概念，即可以在任何时候用新版本替换的子过程。在本文中，我们证明了执行灵活性的概念，如变体构造、面向方面和运行时适应可以通过常规工作流模型来模拟。为此，我们提出了一种通用的自动化设计时模型转换技术，该技术将不同的工作流部分提取到子过程中，利用遵循特定模式语法的“适应过程”，并生成一个选择器结构，执行由规则引擎支持的递归子过程调用。它的主要好处在于减少了灵活工作流引擎的实现工作量。出于评估目的，我们的模型转换方法的参考实现在SAP Net Weaver BPM/BRM中实现，并生成完全符合BPMN2的可执行工件以及规则集，该规则集用作频繁更改流程偏差规范的主界面。

ITG has been recognized as a CIO top-10 issue for more than five years and has risen in priority between 2007 and 2009. Several Frameworks exist to help organizations in ITG implementation but lack scientific viewpoint, are complex, and also overlap each other. In this paper we make a literature review to leverage the ITG Contingency factors, ITG general guidelines and main ITG and ITM areas in order to provide a scientific viewpoint validation. Such artefacts are used to build an integrated ITG and ITM framework. We also evaluate our artefacts with expert's interviews in order to provide practitioner viewpoint validation. Finally, we conclude our research with main contributions and future work.

Social media have become a global phenomenon affecting people in their private lives and in their personal interactions, particularly among younger people. It is thus not surprising that social media are also being explored in professional contexts such as in enterprises, where a number of social media platforms and social extensions to existing workgroup and collaboration systems have been emerging. In this paper, we consider one such platform that was developed for the internal use in a large global enterprise (HP). We present data and analysis of how this social media platform has been used in HP over the past five years. We then present conclusions from this analysis and relate them to work patterns in enterprises with the goal of advancing social media to the next level making them better fit the work context and more relevant for people in their work functions. We consider enterprise sales processes as a case study and present a number of extensions for our social media platform.

Many QoS-based service selection algorithms are complex and time-consuming, and sometimes require a lot of manual efforts from users. As a result, users' real-time searching experiences may not be good when there are many candidate services, because it could be very slow to calculate the ranking scores of services. In this paper, we want to improve the efficiency of the selection process by using a simple vector space model. We also consider the actual QoS requirements from users in the ranking process, which is missing in many current systems. Our experiment results show a big improvement on the system efficiency without losing much on the accuracy when compared with a well-known algorithm -- skyline computation.

Logistics network design is a strategic issue for nearly all companies. In the past, a logistics network once established was used for several periods. However, recent years have seen a rapidly changing economic environment. Trends in markets, shifts of customer clusters, changes of cost structures, and increasing competition are some of the aspects compelling companies to periodically redesign their logistics networks. In this paper, a complicated logistics network redesign problem is studied. To ensure the service levels of the important customers and products, weighting factors are employed, and a new service level measurement based on differentiation is proposed. Then a multi-objective model is formulated to redesign the complicated logistics network, and the NSGAII based solution procedure with determinant-code encoding structure is developed to achieve the Pareto solutions. The applicability of the proposed approach is demonstrated with the help of a real world case study from a Chinese automobile enterprise.

In this paper, we present an approach to modeling and analyzing the quality of service (QoS) characteristics of compositional cloud services in a federated ecosystem. Our approach first synthesizes service compositions of federated services into a small number of primitive models, basic elements and associative characteristics as common patterns, each of which has an analytical model of its QoS characteristics. A cloud-based federated system is defined through recursive composition of the primitive models and thus can be modeled and analyzed through a decomposition and aggregation process based on the QoS characteristics of primitive models. The main objective of our approach is to support the design of cloud-based federated ecosystems and the management of service level agreements for business applications in such systems. We examine cases and conditions within which a composite model's QoS characteristics have analytical solutions as a composition of the QoS characteristics of primitive models and those that may not have an analytical solution and therefore simulation-based solutions are required. Test results are discussed for comparison of analytical and simulation approaches.

This paper deals with the problem, coming from an industrial context, of ontology transformations. EADS, as a major aircraft manufacturer faces the problem of integrating works of experts from different domains using different notations. Addressing this Domain-Specific Language (DSL) problem, we previously developed a solution based on OWL2 ontologies for the integration of multiple domains at the abstract syntax level. Our next step is then the production of visual concrete syntaxes from this abstract syntax, for each domain. Considering this problem as a transformation issue, we raise the challenge of ontology transformations. We provide an OWL2-based rule language for the expression of such transformations. Validating this approach, our rule language has been implemented in a rule and transformation engine and tested on applications coming from the industry.
