Context Control of Interoperable Interactive Systems

Abstract

Increasing mobility of stakeholders and variability of resources trigger the design and runtime of today's business applications. Tasks need to be accomplished in a seamless way despite disparate services, and devices. In order to ensure interoperability between these resources we present a representation scheme for federated system support. It facilitates designing autonomous while tightly coupled systems for business operation. Their features, e.g., Handling blog entries containing customer needs, can be arranged dynamically by means of bigraphs. Bigraphs encode structure and behavior relations and thus, enable the context-sensitive specification of features. Rules allow checking their interoperability and changing the context of resource use. In the contribution initial evidence of the effectiveness of the approach is provided. We exemplify Customer Knowledge Management dynamically intertwining content management and social media interaction.
