Therefore, we call such a query \"condensative\". Current proposals for declarative query languages over data streams do not support such condensative querying. In order to make existing stream query languages more expressive so that they enable a user both, to state more intuitively interesting queries, and to support condensative querying, we propose a new data stream model, referred to as the sequence model, and an extension to SQL-like query languages by operators that allows one to specify the frequency by which a query returns answer tuples. We show that such frequency operators allow one to express sampling over streams. If combined with existing sliding window operators, they support queries with \"jumping windows\". We show with a number of examples from a sensor monitoring application how complex queries can be elegantly formulated in a stream query language with frequency operators","PeriodicalId":118472,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on e-Business Engineering (ICEBE'05)","volume":"71 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113935373","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}

This paper first presents an overview of the inconsistency detection framework. Then, it discusses the detailed design of the two-layer inconsistency detection module, the core component of this framework, which can detect inconsistency among nodes in a timely manner. The proposed two-layer inconsistency detection module is evaluated both analytically and via simulations, which shows that this module can significantly reduce the time to detect inconsistency among nodes without adding much maintenance cost.

In this paper, we propose to develop an intelligent, Internet-based movie recommender system, to help moviegoers choose movies. Our system, COOP-R uses a hybrid recommendation technique based on collaborative and content based filtering. As opposed to previous work using the neighbourhood paradigm, our collaborative filtering approach uses the community of chosen friends, thus allowing better control of the overall recommendation, and takes advantage of the influential and popular friends that have some authority in the movie community. We believe that our system allows more social interaction among moviegoers. We discuss the design and implementation of COOP-R, report on its performance evaluation, and present a comparative study to traditional collaborative filtering systems.

In this paper, the concordance analysis approach is introduced to evaluate the e-commerce Web sites, and the comprehensive evaluation model is established. The concordance priority index and the discordance priority index are adopted to display aspects of the Web site. The project that has both the maximal concordance priority index and the minimal discordance priority index is the best.

BPM applications promote an adaptive means by emphasizing the ability to monitor and control both business processes and IT events. BPM policy governs the BPM behavior of a business entity that takes the environmental stimulus, analyzes it, makes decisions, and renders actions. Business entities are never isolated islands. They tend to interact with one another in order to achieve business functions. Henceforth, BPM policies as a means to govern the monitoring and control behavior of business entities need to be integrated together in a meaningful and scalable fashion. In this paper, we show that how BPM policies can be constructed and weaved into large-scale (e.g. enterprise) policy solutions using formal models.

In this paper, we propose a mobile agent based approach to handling exceptions in distributed workflow management systems. Mobile agents are dispatched to find out the status of running processes in the system to keep track and troubleshoot them when necessary. We describe the classification of workflow exceptions into hierarchical levels and the corresponding design of different types of exception-handling mobile agents and their cooperation.
