Twelve Theses on Reactive Rules for the Web
Reactivity, the ability to detect events and respond to them
automatically through reactive programs, is a key requirement in many
present-day information systems. Work on Web Services re
ects the need
for support of reactivity on a higher abstraction level than just message
exchange by HTTP. This article presents the composite event query facilities
of the reactive rule-based programming language XChange. Composite
events are important in the dynamic world of the Web where
applications, or Web Services, that have not been engineered together
are composed and have to cooperate by exchanging event messages
Reactivity on the Web
Reactivity, the ability to detect simple and composite events and respond in a timely
manner, is an essential requirement in many present-day information systems. With
the emergence of new, dynamic Web applications, reactivity on the Web is receiving
increasing attention. Reactive Web-based systems need to detect and react not only
to simple events but also to complex, real-life situations. This paper introduces
XChange, a language for programming reactive behaviour on the Web, emphasising
the querying of event data and detection of composite events
Twelve Theses on Reactive Rules for the Web
Reactivity, the ability to detect and react to events, is an
essential functionality in many information systems. In particular, Web
systems such as online marketplaces, adaptive (e.g., recommender) systems,
and Web services, react to events such as Web page updates or
data posted to a server.
This article investigates issues of relevance in designing high-level programming
languages dedicated to reactivity on the Web. It presents
twelve theses on features desirable for a language of reactive rules tuned
to programming Web and Semantic Web applications
Use-cases on evolution
This report presents a set of use cases for evolution and reactivity for data in the Web and
Semantic Web. This set is organized around three different case study scenarios, each of them
is related to one of the three different areas of application within Rewerse. Namely, the scenarios
are: āThe Rewerse Information System and Portalā, closely related to the work of A3
ā Personalised Information Systems; āOrganizing Travelsā, that may be related to the work
of A1 ā Events, Time, and Locations; āUpdates and evolution in bioinformatics data sourcesā
related to the work of A2 ā Towards a Bioinformatics Web
State-of-the-art on evolution and reactivity
This report starts by, in Chapter 1, outlining aspects of querying and updating resources on
the Web and on the Semantic Web, including the development of query and update languages
to be carried out within the Rewerse project.
From this outline, it becomes clear that several existing research areas and topics are of
interest for this work in Rewerse. In the remainder of this report we further present state of
the art surveys in a selection of such areas and topics. More precisely: in Chapter 2 we give
an overview of logics for reasoning about state change and updates; Chapter 3 is devoted to briefly describing existing update languages for the Web, and also for updating logic programs;
in Chapter 4 event-condition-action rules, both in the context of active database systems and
in the context of semistructured data, are surveyed; in Chapter 5 we give an overview of some relevant rule-based agents frameworks
A Survey on IT-Techniques for a Dynamic Emergency Management in Large Infrastructures
This deliverable is a survey on the IT techniques that are relevant to the three use cases of the project EMILI. It describes the state-of-the-art in four complementary IT areas: Data cleansing, supervisory control and data acquisition, wireless sensor networks and complex event processing. Even though the deliverableās authors have tried to avoid a too technical language and have tried to explain every concept referred to, the deliverable might seem rather technical to readers so far little familiar with the techniques it describes
Complex Actions for Event Processing
Automatic reactions triggered by complex events have been
deployed with great success in particular domains, among
others, in algorithmic trading, the automatic reaction to realtime
analysis of marked data. However, to date, reactions
in complex event processing systems are often still limited
to mere modifications of internal databases or are realized
by means similar to remote procedure calls.
In this paper, we argue that expressive complex actions
with support for composite work
ows and integration of
so called external actions are desirable for a wide range
of real-world applications among other emergency management.
This article investigates the particularities of external
actions needed in emergency management, which are initiated
inside the event processing system but which are actually
executed by external actuators, and discuss the implications
of these particularities on composite actions. Based
on these observations, we propose versatile complex actions
with temporal dependencies and a seamless integration of
complex events and external actions. This article also investigates
how the proposed integrated approach towards
complex events and complex actions can be evaluated based
on simple reactive rules. Finally, it is shown how complex actions
can be deployed for a complex event processing system
devoted to emergency management
Towards a Rule Interchange Language for the Web
This articles discusses rule languages that are needed for a a
full deployment of the SemanticWeb. First, it motivates the need for such
languages. Then, it presents ten theses addressing (1) the rule and/or
logic languages needed on the Web, (2) data and data processing, (3)
semantics, and (4) engineering and rendering issues. Finally, it discusses
two options that might be chosen in designing a Rule Interchange Format
for the Web
Reactive Rules for Emergency Management
The goal of the following survey on Event-Condition-Action (ECA) Rules is to come to a common understanding and intuition on this topic within EMILI. Thus it does not give an academic overview on Event-Condition-Action Rules which would be valuable for computer scientists only. Instead the survey tries to introduce Event-Condition-Action Rules and their use for emergency management based on real-life examples from the use-cases identified in Deliverable 3.1. In this way we hope to address both, computer scientists and security experts, by showing how the Event-Condition-Action Rule technology can help to solve security issues in emergency management. The survey incorporates information from other work packages, particularly from Deliverable D3.1 and its Annexes, D4.1, D2.1 and D6.2 wherever possible
