Abstract. We describe a mechanism based on distributed Event-ConditionAction (ECA) rules that supports data coordination in a multidatabase setting. The proposed mechanism includes...
In most database systems with production rule facilities, rules respond to operations on centralized data and rule processing is performed in a centralized, sequential fashion. In ...
Easy reuse and integration of declaratively described information in a distributed setting is one of the main motivations for building the Semantic Web. Despite of this claim, reu...
Flexible and dynamic environments are characterized by high independence from connection participants, low control over available services and high tolerance to communication fail...
This paper suggests an evolutionary approach to design coordination strategies, a key issue in distributed intelligent systems. We focus on competitive strategies in the form of f...
