Information dynamics: Temporal behavior of uncertainty measures
We carry out a systematic study of uncertainty measures that are generic to
dynamical processes of varied origins, provided they induce suitable continuous
probability distributions. The major technical tool are the information theory
methods and inequalities satisfied by Fisher and Shannon information measures.
We focus on a compatibility of these inequalities with the prescribed
(deterministic, random or quantum) temporal behavior of pertinent probability
densities.Comment: Incorporates cond-mat/0604538, title, abstract changed, text

Timed Specification For Web Services Compatibility Analysis
AbstractWeb services are becoming one of the main technologies for designing and building complex inter-enterprise business applications. Usually, a business application cannot be fulfilled by one Web service but by coordinating a set of them. In particular, to perform a coordination, one of the important investigations is the compatibility analysis. Two Web services are said compatible if they can interact correctly. In the literature, the proposed frameworks for the services compatibility checking rely on the supported sequences of messages. The interaction of services depends also on other properties, such that the exchanged data flow. Thus, considering only supported sequences of messages seems to be insufficient. Other properties on which the services interaction can rely on, are the temporal constraints. In this paper, we focus our interest on the compatibility analysis of Web services regarding their (1) supported sequences of messages, (2) the exchanged data flow, (3) constraints related to the exchanged data flow and (4) the temporal requirements. Based on these properties, we study three compatibility classes: (i) absolute compatibility, (ii) likely compatibility and (iii) absolute incompatibility
