Realising Weak Work Workflow with Declarative Flexible XML Routing in SOAP
نویسندگان
چکیده
A weak workflow within an organization’s information system allows processes to be defined as they are being performed. It requires general knowledge about the organization to be dynamically combined with specific information about a current workflow. This information, as well as the roles of agents involved, is declared in RuleML so that inferences can drive the workflow. We describe a use case of bug tracking system where agents need help to decide where to sent a document next. DeFleX is a prototype implementation of this architecture using standard Web Services technology and an open source inference engine, jDREW. DeFleX uses an often-ignored feature of SOAP, allowing intermediate locations to be dynamically determined, to realize weak

Internet-based electronic commerce is becoming the next frontier of new business opportunities. However, commerce on the Internet is seriously hindered by the lack of a common language for collaborative commercial activities. Although XML (Extensible Markup Language) allows trading partners to exchange semantic information electronically, it does not provide support for document routing. In thi...

Commerce on the Internet is still seriously hindered by the lack of a common language for collaborative commercial activities. Although XML (Extendible Markup Language) allows trading partners to exchange semantic information electronically, it does not provide support for document routing. In this paper, we propose the design for an eXchangeable routing language (XRL) using XML syntax. Since X...

This paper investigates the usability, interoperability, and performance issues of SOAP/XML-based Web and Grid Services for scientific computing. Several key issues are addressed that are important for the deployment of highperformance and mission-critical SOAP/XML-based services. A successful deployment can be achieved by limiting the overhead of XML encoding through exploiting XML schema exte...
متن کاملMinimal Traffic-Constrained Similarity-Based SOAP Multicast Routing Protocol
SOAP, a de-facto communication protocol of Web services, is popular for its interoperability across organisations. However, SOAP is based on XML and therefore inherits XML’s disadvantage of having voluminous messages. When there are many transactions requesting similar server operations, using conventional SOAP unicast to send SOAP response messages can generate a very large amount of traffic [...
