敏捷产品开发的研究

为了适应市场全球化的发展趋势，现代企业必须能够面对不断变化的市场，迅速作出反映。这就要求企业具有敏捷产品开发的能力。敏捷产品开发要求企业的产品开发资源具有可扩充性、可重用性和可扩展性的特点。基于Ｉｎｔｅｒｎｅｔ／ＣＯＲＢＡ的多智能主体结构的产品开发模式使得企业具有这种敏捷的特性。文章论述了这种基于多智能主体结构产品开发模式，和Ｉｎｔｅｒｎｅｔ／ＵＣＯＲＢＡ技术和工作流管理技术在敏捷产品开发模式中的重要作用。

A reference model for team-enabled workflow management systems

Today's workflow systems assume that each work item is executed by a single worker. From the viewpoint of the system, a worker with the proper qualifications selects a work item, executes the associated work, and reports the result. There is usually no support for teams, i.e., groups of people collaborating by jointly executing work items (e.g., the program committee of a conference, the management team of a company, a working group, and the board of directors). In this paper, we propose the addition of a team concept to today's workflow management systems. Clearly, this involves a marriage of workflow and groupware technology. To shed light on the introduction of teams, we extend the traditional organizational meta model with teams and propose a team-enabled workflow reference model. For this reference model and to express constraints with respect to the distribution of work to teams, we use object constraint language (OCL).

个性化传播中可变数据的开发和应用(英文)

个性化传播包括许多因素:市场营销策略,清晰的数据库,建立客户接触点的数据分析,针对客户接触点的相关市场策略的规则,对客户隐私的保护,文件输出,衡量成功的尺度和响应客户反馈的迭代设计。近年来,利用客户数据实现个性化传播已获得越来越多的关注。然而,利用精确的数学方法从客户数据中提取关系数据,然后将其转化为抽象的规则,并融入实际的设计,这与其说是一种科学技术,不如说是一种艺术。本论文主要探讨了如何有效地将通过数据挖掘得到的重要变量转化为具体的编程规则,以准确地表示这些可变数据,并应用到个性化传播中。     

Evaluating the performance of a discrete manufacturing process using RFID: A case study

The material flow is a major focus point in improving productivity in today’s product diversified manufacturing organizations. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of efficient methods to control material flow through manufacturing processes in cases where multi-item tracking is difficult to achieve. This paper presents an RFID-based RTLS (Real-Time Location System) solution for obtaining multi-item work-in-process visibility within a manufacturer. It delivers detailed performance metrics through RTLS data analysis in order to evaluate workflow performance and to obtain a lean process. We pre-filter the RTLS data through the development of a middleware data collection method to acquire near real-time performance evaluation. A case study illustrates the complete process including measurements before and after a workflow redesign. The increased level of detail from RFID measurements yields new insights into shop floor actions and the real effects of redesign efforts.     

Managing heterogeneous multi-system tasks to support enterprise-wide operations

The computing environment in most medium-sized and large enterprises involves old main-frame based (legacy) applications and systems as well as new workstation-based distributed computing systems. The objective of the METEOR project is to support multi-system workflow applications that automate enterprise operations. This paper deals with the modeling and specification of workflows in such applications. Tasks in our heterogeneous environment can be submitted through different types of interfaces on different processing entities. We first present a computational model for workflows that captures the behavior of both transactional and non-transactional tasks of different types. We then develop two languages for specifying a workflow at different levels of abstraction: the Workflow Specification Language (WFSL) is a declarative rule-based language used to express the application-level interactions between multiple tasks, while the Task Specification Language (TSL) focuses on the issues related to individual tasks. These languages are designed to address the important issues of inter-task dependencies, data formatting, data exchange, error handling, and recovery. The paper also presents an architecture for the workflow management system that supports the model and the languages. Recommended by: Omran Bukhres and e. Kühn     

Exotica/FMDC: A workflow management system for mobile and disconnected clients

Workflow Management Systems (WFMSs) automate the execution of business processes in environments encompassing large numbers of users distributed over a wide geographic area and using heterogeneous resources. Current implementations allow the definition and controlled execution of complex and long lived business processes as the basis for an enterprise-wide collaborative system but, in most cases, the autonomy of the users is greatly restricted due to architectural and design considerations. In particular, existing systems are built around a centralized server. As a result, users need to maintain an uninterrupted connection with the server to perform the different tasks assigned to them. This is a severe restriction, especially when considering the emergence of mobile computing, and the increase in use of laptops and small computers which are connected to the network only occasionally and which will, undoubtedly, be the tool of choice for many users. This paper addresses the problem of supporting disconnected workflow clients in large workflow management systems while still preserving the correctness of the overall execution and allowing coordinated interactions between the different users regardless of their location.Recommended by: Daniel Barbara, Ravi Jain, Narayanan Krishnakumar
