An efficient and flexible business process not only helps an organization to meet the requirements of the evolving surroundings but also may facilitate a competitive advantage over other companies towards delivering the desired services. This is even more critical for an emerging paradigm like cloud based deployment. In this paper, we introduce a novel mechanism to generate the business process suitable for specific organizations. The approach provides an automated way to build the possible business processes for a given set of tasks that fulfills the goal and satisfies the constraints of an organization. In step 1, we show how to generate the finite space of all possible designs for a given set of tasks. Secondly, we accumulate the effect of each step to deduce the final effect of each possible process design and to ensure that the redesigned set of steps still realizes the service goal. The designs not meeting the service goals are eliminated from the space. In step 3, the rest of the designs are checked for the constraint satisfaction subject to some specific cases. The framework provides a comprehensive, both syntactically and semantically correct, consistent business process generation methodology that adheres to the target business goals and constraints.

This study is a sequel of a recent publication where the coupling concepts as well as the advantages of coupling of declarative models were clarified. In this article, the basic concepts of simulation model coupling is reviewed. Advanced input concepts, including context-mediated perception, are elucidated. Synergy of agents and simulation is revised. Awareness-based couplings of intelligent agents are explained. Other advanced coupling concepts clarified include: deliberation-based coupling, introspection-based coupling, anticipation-based coupling, and model/real-system coupling.

In this paper, we propose two parameterized frameworks, namely the Uniform Watchtower (UW) framework and the Hot zonebased Watchtower (HW) framework, for the evaluation of spatial queries on large road networks. The motivation of this research is twofold: (1) how to answer spatial queries efficiently on large road networks with massive POI data and (2) how to take advantage of social data in spatial query processing. In UW, the network traversal terminates once it acquires the Point of Interest (POI) distance information stored in watchtowers. In HW, by observing that users' movements often exhibit strong spatial patterns, we employ probabilistic clustering to model mobile user check-in data as a mixture of 2-dimensional Gaussian distributions to identify hot zones so that watchtowers can be deployed discriminatorily. Our analyses verify the superiority of HW over UW in terms of query response time. Copyright 2014 ACM.

In distributed and high performance applications it it is necessary to discover the aggregate resource capabilities of the collaborating peers. Another requirement of these applications is to locate the resources meeting the given aggregate search criteria. In this paper we present an unstructured peer-to-peer approach to aggregate node selection for resource management. Our objective is to efficiently calculate the aggregate value and search the aggregate node whose attribute matches or falls in the proximity of this value. Our contribution also includes the inclusion of an explicit network for aggregate query routing. We evaluated our protocol for accuracy, efficiency and communication cost through detailed simulations. Copyright 2008 ACM.
