et al. (1989) modeled ECa as a function of soil water content (both the mobile and immobile fractions), the Apparent profile soil electrical conductivity (ECa) can be an indielectrical conductivity (EC) of the soil water, soil bulk rect indicator of a number of soil physical and chemical properties. Commercially available ECa sensors can be used to efficiently and density, and the EC of the soi...

This paper presents an XML-based event-condition-action (ECA) rule language, AIM, for supporting the SEM framework and approach to the computer-based incorporation of best practice in daily work and the subsequent management of the resulting complex information. SEM framework provides knowledge and information management support in terms of three planes: the specification plane, the execution p...

The molluscicidal effects of Eomecon chionantha alkaloids (ECA) against Oncomelania hupensis snails were determined by immersion method. The molluscicidal effect was positively related to ECA concentration, immersion time and temperature of the immersion solution. The mortality of the snails reached 100% by 72 hours in ECA at a concentration of 2.5 mg/l at 25 degrees C. The alanine aminotransfe...

The passive hemagglutination test for antibodies against the enterobacterial common antigen (ECA) of Kunin was standardized for diagnostic purposes. Human erythrocytes were coated with a soluble ECA+ preparation from Salmonella typhimurium or, as specificity controls, with a similar ECA- preparation from congenic ECA-negative bacteria with saline, and the hemagglutination assay was performed on...

The dynamism and heterogeneity of pervasive systems necessitates a management system that automates enforcement of administrator and organization guidelines. Policy-based management, using Event-Condition-Action (ECA) rules, is a suitable approach in which rules dictate actions to be executed when specified events and conditions are observed. Actions in these rules may fail during execution due...

The increasing demand for reduced cost and improved quality of service in healthcare has prompted the call for better management of medical knowledge. The main emphasis has been on knowledge that is acquired through experience and medical research and then formalised into Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs). This paper presents a generic approach to CPG information and knowledge management that...

Today, many companies develop business integration environments with a variety of ubiquitous computing devices. Nevertheless, existing business process studies still have difficulty about the technology which can manage and control by integration environment of the occurrence events in real-time. In this paper, we introduce a process coordination system to support the processing and analysis of...

It is every organization’s desire to incorporate best practice into its enterprise. This incorporation gives rise to the need to maintain information that could be viewed as complex. Managing this complex information poses a major challenge to the area of information management. This paper presents a framework for the incorporation of best practice and subsequent management of the resulting com...

This report summarizes how Snoop, a composite event detection language for active databases, and Sentinel, an implementation of Snoop, were designed and how one can model an ECA-Rule in Snoop. However, it shows also that, by means of the meta-model for event detection algebras, one can recognize that Snoop is not completely coherent and lacks of symmetry as well as of consistency. Moreover, it ...

This paper presents the “situation manager” rule language. The situation manager is a tool that includes both a language and an efficient run-time execution mechanism, aimed at reducing the complexity of active applications. It follows the observation that in many cases, there is a gap between current tools that enable to react to a single event (following the ECA: Event-Condition-Action paradi...
