Now, the academic research on multicast technology has become an active focus. Many results referring to multicast security have been gotten. But to date, efficient solutions, especially about the group key management, are very few. In this paper, the problems of group key management and access control for large dynamic multicast groups have been researched. We give a solution based on subgroup secure controllers, which solves many problems in IOLUS System, WGL scheme and many other solutions.","PeriodicalId":287894,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Issues of E-Commerce and Web-Based Information Systems (WECWIS 2002)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133631286","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}

Consequently, it becomes crucial to define an abstract model for business processes, and their mapping into an active user interface presentation, using the principle of separation of concern between the process logic, data and its presentation aspects. We endeavour to extend declarative (rule based) XSLT to accommodate the separation of process information from the data structure and presentation, and thus propose to design process aware stylesheets, in a minimally invasive manner. The isolation of the three otherwise entangled aspects of web-processes makes it easy to develop and maintain web-applications in a more independent manner where each individual developer can focus on his/her primary responsibility, like describing the process, maintaining a database, or creating user interface (web-pages) without being levied any substantial effort to learn new technology.","PeriodicalId":287894,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Issues of E-Commerce and Web-Based Information Systems (WECWIS 2002)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129155826","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}

Maintainers of web services can use such analysis to better understand and manage the performance of their services. Moreover WebMon's data will enable the construction of more accurate performance prediction models for web services. Current web logging techniques create a log file per server making it difficult to correlate data from log files with respect to a given transaction. Additionally, data about the quality of service perceived by the client is missing entirely. WebMon overcomes these limitations by providing heterogenous instrumentation sensors and HTTP cookie-based correlators. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of of WebMon and our experience in applying WebMon to an HP Library web service.","PeriodicalId":287894,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Issues of E-Commerce and Web-Based Information Systems (WECWIS 2002)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129050605","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 set of Oracle 9iAS Web Caches can be grouped into a loosely coupled cluster to help solve these issues. When clustered, Web Cache's capacity increases linearly. In addition, the number of cacheable miss requests sent to the application Web server is reduced linearly. Also, the impact on site availability and performance of an individual Web Cache node failure in a cluster is reduced considerably. In this paper, we describe the Web Cache clustering architecture, focusing on how this feature affects site capacity, performance, and availability.","PeriodicalId":287894,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Issues of E-Commerce and Web-Based Information Systems (WECWIS 2002)","volume":"86 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116420447","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}

It is difficult to effectively present a large table of information on small devices as they tend to have limited display and processing capabilities. Hence, large tables need to be reduced and summarized in order to be properly displayed on small devices. Due to updates in the databases, device capabilities and personal preferences, a summarized table based on a previously defined specification may not be satisfactory anymore and requires further refinements. In this paper we present a flexible and lightweight implementation of dynamic refinement of table summarization. With a GUI tool or a browser the user of a small device in M-commerce can dynamically and interactively refine a summarized table until he/she is satisfied. Not only the summarized table output but also the corresponding specification are refined. Individual refined specifications are flexibly and efficiently maintained for subsequent table summarization.","PeriodicalId":287894,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Issues of E-Commerce and Web-Based Information Systems (WECWIS 2002)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128518562","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 these applications, it is desired to process user requests within their deadlines using fresh data, which reflect the current market status. Current web-based data services are poor at processing user requests in a timely manner using fresh data.

Using existing algorithms for winner determination will cause a timing bottleneck during the winner determination phase. Furthermore, there has recently been work which models the formation of supply chains through auctions. Here, winner determination is used for supply chain formation. As supply chains become more dynamic, there is a need for incremental algorithms that quickly and accurately restructure the supply chain while keeping the initial supplier/producer/consumer constraints satisfied. In this work, we look into the process of quickly and efficiently handling incremental changes in combinatorial auctions. Given some perturbations, we illustrate the tradeoff between preserving the previous solution while maximizing the valuation of the auction. Our results show that it is possible to use a locally optimal solution while sacrificing little solution quality compared to a globally optimal solution. When we have 5000 bids or more, the local algorithm gives a solution within 2% of optimal on the \"matching\" benchmark from the Combinatorial Auction Test Suite (CATS). Therefore, a simple, fast algorithm can be used to handle incremental changes in CAs with a large number of bids.","PeriodicalId":287894,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Issues of E-Commerce and Web-Based Information Systems (WECWIS 2002)","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120843345","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}
