A System Architecture for Supporting Event Based Interaction and Information Access
نویسنده
چکیده
The University of Leeds Virtual Science Park © (VSP) is an example of a virtual working system for supporting the provision of a number of services, including virtual consultancy, workbased learning, consortium building and access to information. This paper presents a new architecture based on event mechanisms. The extensions fall into 3 areas: provision of timely, up-to-date information based on users' interests; integration with existing information sources; and chance interaction. The main problems addressed are facilities for keeping the VSP information up to date and keeping users notified of relevant changes to the data. Integration with existing data sources is also key to the provision of an information space capable of supporting VSP services. We describe an event mechanism to support information location, information monitoring, chance interaction and integration with existing information sources. The system will be used in a VSP Workbased learning project for supplying multimedia information and collaboration facilities to remote students to support distance learning. A World Wide Web gateway has also been developed to provide wide scale access to the VSP.

To understand the architecture and functionality of a complex software system, the interactions taking place among the system’s constituents are of major interest. For an intuitive and easy to understand description of the interaction architecture of such systems, we propose to use Extended Event Traces which are a graphical notation similar to Message Sequence Charts. The latter are widely use...

Event-based computing is a generic enabler for the next generation mobile services and applications that need to meet user requirements irrespective of time and location. The event paradigm and publish/subscribe systems allow clients to asynchronously receive information that matches their interests. We outline an event architecture for mobile computing that addresses two key requirements: term...
متن کاملA semantic-aware role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Access control in open and dynamic Pervasive Computing Environments (PCEs) is a very complex mechanism and encompasses various new requirements. In fact, in such environments, context information should be used in access control decision process; however, it is not applicable to gather all context information completely and accurately all the time. Thus, a suitable access control model for PCEs...
