Since the intermittent connection of mobile device is unpredictable, we need a special architecture for providing reliable grid services such as e-health services. In this paper, we introduce a new mobile-to-grid gateway replication (MGR) architecture for improving the reliability of grid services provided to mobile device. In MGR architecture we integrate mobile-to-grid gateway and grid policy quorum based resource management (PQRM) into one compact system. We also proposed a cost-constraints replication algorithm for calculating the optimal number of replication gateways dependent on users' budget and requirements.

In this paper, we propose hybrid resource information service architecture based on grid monitoring architecture to promote the validity of the resource information service in grid. HRIC is an improved information service architecture that utilizes resource changing self-monitoring mechanism to offset the blind spot of the periodical information collection and combine the advantages of two traditional information collection methods - periodic collection and stochastic reporting, thereby improving the accuracy of resource information service.

Tracking & tracing functionalities, an improved information exchange between dispatchers and drivers, and an improved fleet management are the main fields of application. The information gathered by off-the-shelf fleet telematics systems, however, can often not be sufficiently utilised as the telematics systems cannot be readily integrated into the existing IT infrastructure. Especially small motor carriers cannot afford to replace their IT systems by such systems that already support telematics functionalities. As a result, off-the-shelf telematics systems are often of only limited use.

BPM is a new frontier in IT-enabled enterprise that supports the monitoring and control of business operations. BPM solutions must be able to efficiently process business events, compute business metrics, detect business situations, and provide the real-time visibility of key performance indicators. In addition, system support is required for the rapid development of BPM solutions and the adaptation of the solutions to the dynamic business environment. We have adopted a meta-model, dubbed the observation meta-model, for capturing the business requirements for BPM, which frees solution developers from low-level programming concerns. We have also used a hybrid compilation-interpretation approach to map an observation model to the runtime executable. First, we extract and refactor the data aspect of the observation model to facilitate runtime access. Second, we compile the operational aspect of the model, such as logic for metric computation and situation detection, into Java code. Third, we develop a runtime engine that interprets the refactored model and dynamically loads the generated code, according to the meta-model. Our framework further enables the evolution and hot deployment of the observation model and provides the platform for several on-going customer engagement efforts","PeriodicalId":118472,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on e-Business Engineering (ICEBE'05)","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117309056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
