Download or read book On the Foundations of Dynamic Coalitions written by Arbach, Youssef and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dynamic Coalitions denote a temporary collaboration between different entities to achieve a common goal. A key feature that distinguishes Dynamic Coalitions from static coalitions is Dynamic Membership, where new members can join and others can leave after a coalition is set. This thesis studies workflows in Dynamic Coalitions, by analyzing their features, highlighting their unique characteristics and similarities to other workflows, and investigating their relation with Dynamic Membership. For this purpose, we use the formal model of Event Structures and extend it to faithfully model scenarios taken as use cases from healthcare. Event Structures allow for workflows modeling in general, and for modeling Dynamic Membership in Dynamic Coalitions as well through capturing the join and leave events of members. To this end, we first extend Event Structures with Dynamic Causality to address the dynamic nature of DCs. Dynamic Causality allows some events to change the causal dependencies of other events in a structure. Then, we study the expressive power of the resulting Event Structures and show that they contribute only to a specific kind of changes in workflows, namely the pre-planned changes. Second, we present Evolving Structures in order to support ad-hoc and unforeseen changes in workflows, as required by the use cases. Evolving Structures connect different Event Structures with an evolution relation which allows for changing an Event Structure during a system run. We consider different approaches to model evolution and study their equivalences. Furthermore, we show that the history of a workflow should be preserved in our case of evolution in Dynamic Coalitions, and we allow for extracting changes from an evolution to support Process Learning. Third, to capture the goals of DCs, we equip Evolving Structures with constraints concerning the reachability of a set of events that represents a goal. The former extensions allow for examining the changes and evolutions caused by members, and examining members’ contributions to goal satisfaction, through their join and leave events. Finally, we highlight many modeling features posed as requirements by the domain of our Dynamic-Coalition use cases, namely the healthcare, which are independent from the nature of Dynamic Coalitions, e.g. timing. We examine the literature of Event Structures for supporting such features, and we identify that the notion of Priority is missing in Event Structures. To this end, we add Priority to various kinds of Event Structures from the literature. Furthermore, we study the relation between priority on one side, and conjunctive causality, disjunctive causality, causal ambiguity and various kinds of conflict on the other side. Comparing to Adaptive Workflows, which are concerned with evolutions of workflows that occur as a response to changes, e.g. changes in the business environment or exceptions, this thesis shows that Dynamic-Coalition workflows are not only Adaptive but also Goal-Oriented. Besides, it adds one extra trigger for evolution in workflows—unique to Dynamic Coalitions—namely the join of new members who contribute to goal satisfaction in a Dynamic Coalition. Finally the thesis contributes to bridging the gap in modeling between theory and domain experts by supporting step-by-step modeling applied regularly in healthcare and other domains. Dynamische Koalitionen (DKen) bezeichnen eine temporäre Kollaboration zwischen verschiedenen Entitäten zum Erreichen eines gemeinsamen Ziels. Ein Schüsselaspekt, welcher dynamische Koalitionen von statischen Koalitionen unterscheidet ist die dynamische Mitgliedschaft, durch die neue Mitglieder hinzu- kommen und andere die Koalitionen verlassen können, nachdem sie entstanden ist. Diese Arbeit studiert Workflows in dynamische Koalitionen durch eine Analyse ihrer Eigenschaften, das Herausstellen ihrer einzigartigen Charakteristika und Ähnlichkeiten zu anderen Workflows und durch eine Untersuchung ihrer Beziehung zu dynamischer Mitgliedschaft. In diesem Sinne nutzen wir das formales Model der Ereignisstukturen (ESen) und erweitern es, um Fallstudien aus der Medizin angemessen zu modellieren. ESen erlauben sowohl eine generelle Workflow Modellierung als auch eine Darstellung von Eintritt- und Austrittereignissen von Mitgliedern. Zu diesem Zweck erweitern wir ESen zuerst um Dynamische Kausalität, um die dynamische Natur von DKs abzubilden. Dynamische Kausalität erlaubt bestimmten Ereignissen die kausalen Abhängigkeiten anderer Ereignissen in einer Struktur zu verändern. Dann untersuchen wir die Ausdrucksstärke der resutierenden ESen und zeigen, dass sie nur eine spezifische Art der Veränderung abbilden, die sogenannten vorgeplanten Veränderungen. Als Zweites präsentieren wir Evolving in ESen um ad-hoc- und unvorhergesehene Veränderungen zu unterstützen, wie es durch unsere Fallstudien benötigt wird. Evolving in ESen verbinden verschiedene ESen mit einer Relation, welche eine Veränderung einer ES während eines Ablaufes erlaubt. Wir ziehen verschiedene Ansätze der Modelevolution in Betracht und untersuchen ihre Äquivalenzen. Des Weiteren zeigen wir, dass in unserem Fall der Evolution in DKen die Geschichte eines Workflows erhalten bleiben muss und wir ermöglichen das Extrahieren von Veränderungen einer Evolution, um Process Learning zu unterstützen. Drittens: Um die Ziele von DKen abzubilden, fügen wir den Evolving in ESen mit Einschränkungen bezüglich der Erreichbarkeit einer Menge von Ereignissen hinzu, welche das Ziel repräsentieren. Die genannten Erweiterungen erlauben es sowohl die Änderungen und Evolutionen, die vom Mitgliedern verursacht werden als auch die Beiträge der Mitglieder zur Zielerreichung durch deren Entritt- und Austrittereignissen zu untersuchen. Schlussendlich, stellen wir viele Modellierungseigen- schaften dar, welche von den DK-Fallstudien aus der Medizin benötigt werden und unabhängig von der Natur der DKen sind, wie z.B. Timing. Wir untersuchen die Literatur zu ESen bezüglich Unterstützung für solche Eigenschaften und stellen fest, dass der Begriff Priorität in ESen fehlt. Daher fügen wir Priorität zu verschiedenen ESen aus der Literatur hinzu. Des Weiteren untersuchen wir die Beziehungen von Priorität auf zu Konjunktiver Kausalität, disjunktiver Kausalität, kausal Uneindeutigkeit und verschiedenen Formen von Konflikt. Im Vergleich zu Adaptive Workflows, welche sich mit der Evolution von Workflows beschäftigt, die als Reaktion auf Veränderungen entsteht, wie z.B. Veränderungen im Business Environment oder Exceptions, zeigt diese Arbeit das DKen nicht nur adaptiv sondern auch zielorientiert sind. Außerdem fügt sie einen zusätzlichen Auslöser für Evolution in Workflows hinzu, welcher ausschließlich DKen eigen ist: das Hinzukommen neuer Mitglieder welche zur Ziel- erreichung der DK beitragen. Zuletzt trägt diese Arbeit bei, die Lücke der Modellierung zwischen der Theorie und den Domänenexperten zu überbrücken, in dem sie eine Schritt-für-Schritt Modellierung unterstützt, welche regelmäßig in der Medizin und anderen Bereichen angewand wird.

Download or read book Agent and Multi Agent Systems Technologies and Applications written by Geun Sik Jo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2008-04-03 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following from the very successful First KES Symposium on Agent and Multi-Agent Systems – Technologies and Applications (KES-AMSTA 2007), held in Wroclaw, Poland, 31 May–1 June 2007, the second event in the KES-AMSTA symposium series (KES-AMSTA 2008) was held in Incheon, Korea, March 26–28, 2008. The symposium was organized by the School of Computer and Information Engineering, Inha University, KES International and the KES Focus Group on Agent and Mul- agent Systems. The KES-AMSTA Symposium Series is a sub-series of the KES Conference Series. The aim of the symposium was to provide an international forum for scientific research into the technologies and applications of agent and multi-agent systems. Agent and multi-agent systems are related to the modern software which has long been recognized as a promising technology for constructing autonomous, complex and intelligent systems. A key development in the field of agent and multi-agent systems has been the specification of agent communication languages and formalization of ontologies. Agent communication languages are intended to provide standard declarative mechanisms for agents to communicate knowledge and make requests of each other, whereas ontologies are intended for conceptualization of the knowledge domain. The symposium attracted a very large number of scientists and practitioners who submitted their papers for nine main tracks concerning the methodology and applications of agent and multi-agent systems, a doctoral track and two special sessions.

Download or read book Digital Content Creation written by Rae Earnshaw and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The very word "digital" has acquired a status that far exceeds its humble dictionary definition. Even the prefix digital, when associ ated with familiar sectors such as radio, television, photography and telecommunications, has reinvented these industries, and provided a unique opportunity to refresh them with new start-up companies, equipment, personnel, training and working practices - all of which are vital to modern national and international economies. The last century was a period in which new media stimulated new job opportunities, and in many cases created totally new sectors: video competed with film, CDs transformed LPs, and computer graphics threatened traditional graphic design sectors. Today, even the need for a physical medium is in question. The virtual digital domain allows the capture, processing, transmission, storage, retrieval and display of text, images, audio and animation without familiar materials such as paper, celluloid, magnetic tape and plastic. But moving from these media to the digital domain intro duces all sorts of problems, such as the conversion of analog archives, multimedia databases, content-based retrieval and the design of new content that exploits the benefits offered by digital systems. It is this issue of digital content creation that we address in this book. Authors from around the world were invited to comment on different aspects of digital content creation, and their contributions form the 23 chapters of this volume.
