Formal methods are a nice idea, but the size and complexity of real systems means that they are impractical. We propose that a reasonable alternative to attempting to specify and ...
Building data integration systems today is largely done by hand, in a very labor intensive and error prone process. In this paper, we describe a conceptually new solution to this ...
This paper discusses the structure and components of databases for real-world e-commerce systems. We first present an integrated 8-process value chain needed by the e-commerce sys...
Self-adaptability has been proposed as an effective approach to automate the complexity associated with the management of modern-day software systems. While over the past decade w...
Agent based workflow systems are being discussed by many researchers for a long time. In this paper we present a new collaborative approach for workflow systems. Agents collaborate...
