To provide such support, EA models should be amenable to analysis of various quality attributes. The prerequisite to providing this is to define and characterize EA quality attributes explicitly. This paper proposes the idea of EA quality attributes and their characterization by using EA quality attribute general scenarios. Also a meta-model is presented for their purpose of definition. Finally, as a sample of EA quality attributes, EA maintainability has been defined and characterized.","PeriodicalId":226791,"journal":{"name":"2009 13th Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference Workshops","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122326911","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}

In order to automate scientific process, workflow has been used to orchestrate tasks to be executed in grid environment. Hence, the management of the workflow execution, especially the scheduling of workflow tasks in grid under high resource competition situation, becomes an important issue to improve the quality of service. In this paper, we propose a workflow scheduling algorithm based on resource competition among the tasks in the workflow. Our preliminary result is compared with the existing Min-Min algorithm to demonstrate the advantage of our algorithm in situations where there is a high degree of resource competition in the grid workflow.","PeriodicalId":226791,"journal":{"name":"2009 13th Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference Workshops","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133668649","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}

The decision-making features of application consolidation are first analyzed and formalized from the perspective of decision theory. Applying these insights, a more practical framework is then proposed, based primarily on the ISO/IEC 9126 standard, the Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF), and the formalism of Probabilistic Relational Models (PRM). This framework supports cost-benefit analysis of application consolidation decision-making, thus helping to make these decisions more structured and transparent.","PeriodicalId":226791,"journal":{"name":"2009 13th Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference Workshops","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133268856","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}

Therefore, this work describes an approach for the semantic annotation and semantic-based planning of process models and introduces Cystid, an integration of Process Mining algorithms and semantic-based planning.","PeriodicalId":226791,"journal":{"name":"2009 13th Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference Workshops","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114265335","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}

We show that these problems are actually different manifestations of the same phenomenon: communicating peers ending up with divergent views of the message exchange in which they are involved. We introduce the concept of monitor-based messenger (MBM), which processes messages locally through a runtime monitor enforcing a specific protocol of interaction, and stamps them with a monitoring token. We demonstrate that: 1) some unrealizable protocols become realizable using MBMs; 2) MBMs offer protection against unreliable messaging, and can decrease delivery time and required queue size compared to strict messaging solutions.","PeriodicalId":226791,"journal":{"name":"2009 13th Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference Workshops","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123043867","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 article describes an approach for an infrastructure to ensure a guaranteed quality of service for BPEL processes using rebinding. Rebinding is a special adaptation mechanism, which replaces services that fail or could not reach the needed QoS level with alternative ones.","PeriodicalId":226791,"journal":{"name":"2009 13th Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference Workshops","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129667483","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}

A compliance system is an organisation wide tool that links legislative and business rules to organization policies and processes. The objective of such a system is to promote a self sustaining level of operations that minimizes the losses caused to the business through breaches of laws or internal misappropriations. We view a compliance system in a similar fashion to that of an accounting system where each process is treated as a transaction. Each process may be monitored and valuations of costing and benefits associated to each task. Both high order policy creation as well as low order transactional histories of single processes must be considered to obtain a complete picture of current operations. In this paper we discuss benefits and shortcomings in some of the currently implemented compliance schemes and present a method for measuring the degree of compliance that each business process may achieve.","PeriodicalId":226791,"journal":{"name":"2009 13th Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference Workshops","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134349701","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}
