The AXML Artifact Model † ( Invited Paper )
نویسندگان
چکیده
Towards a data-centric workflow approach, we introduce an artifact model to capture data and workflow management activities in distributed settings. The model is built on Active XML, i.e., XML trees including Web service calls. We argue that the model captures the essential features of business artifacts as described informally in [1] or discussed in [2]. To illustrate, we briefly consider the monitoring of distributed systems and the verification of temporal properties for them. Keywords-Active XML, database, workflow, artifact, documents

The VLDB Journal manuscript No. (will be inserted by the editor)
This paper provides an overview of the Active XML project developed at INRIA over the past five years. Active XML (AXML, for short), is a declarative framework that harnesses Web services for distributed data management, and is put to work in a peer-to-peer architecture. The model is based on AXML documents, which are XML documents that may contain embedded calls to Web services, and on AXML se...
متن کاملModeling and Verifying Active XML Artifacts
Shared evolving data is central to an increasing range of human activities. In response to the need for computerized support of such activities, the notion of business artifact has been proposed at IBM as a model of such evolving data [1]. The model captures both the flow of control (workflow) of the application and the evolution of the relevant data (data cycle); see [2] for a brief survey. In...
متن کاملApplication of Model Checking to AXML System's Security: A Case Study
An Active XML (AXML in short) has been developed to provide efficient data management and integration by allowing Web services calls to be embedded in XML document. AXML documents have new security issues due to the possibility of malicious documents and attackers. To solve this security problem, document-level security with embedded service calls has been proposed to overcome the limitation of...
متن کاملTowards Cost-based Optimization for Data-intensive Web Service Computations
The recent popularity of XML and Web services has lead to a surge in models and platforms for distributed XML data management applications. This work investigates performance issues involved in the deployment of the ActiveXML (AXML) platform for such applications. AXML documents are XML documents, part of which is extensional (present in the document), while part is intensional (specified as ca...
متن کاملActive XML (AXML) research: Survey on the representation, system architecture, data exchange mechanism and query evaluation
Active XML (AXML) is an extension of XML to exploit the powerful computation ability of peer-to-peer network and Web services technologies. AXML is considered a distributed XML DBMS which extends the capability of XML by embedding intensional XML data inside XML documents. The management of intensional XML and XML data together in XML documents raises issues such as representation for intension...
