A variety of component types can be reused. Yet di erent composition techniques and di erent forms of interoperation of components make reuse di cult or impossible in many situations. We brie y introduce components and component composition. Then we describe forms of interoperation. We propose a classi cation by introducing an interoperation matrix where we consider control and data aspects of ...

| Advances in distributed systems and networking technology have made interoperation not only feasible but also increasingly popular. We deene the interoperation of secure systems and its security, and prove complexity and composability results on obtaining optimal and secure interoperation. Most problems are NP-complete even for systems with very simple access control structures, while for a g...

Increasingly, there is a recognized need for secure information sharing. In order to implement information sharing between diverse organizations, we need privacypreserving interoperation systems. In this work, we describe two frameworks for privacy-preserving interoperation systems. Ontology matching is an indispensable component of interoperation systems. To implement privacy-preserving intero...

The present paper describes the approach and two technical solutions for interoperation between business rules represented in various formats. The Semantic Web techniques are used to enable this interoperation. One of the interoperation methods uses the Java Interoperation Object (JIO) described in the context of Positional-Slotted Language (POSL), which a human-friendly variant of the Rule Mar...

The support for automatic interoperation of software components can reduce cost and provide greater functionality. This paper describes a novel approach to software interoperation based on speciication sharing. Software components, called agents, provide machine processable descriptions of their capabilities and needs. Agents can be realized in diierent programming languages, and they can run i...

Currently, collaborative systems manipulating the same artifact but implementing different policies and architectures cannot interoperate or "collaborate" with each other. Therefore, it is not possible for users to use different collaborative systems to work on a single shared artifact. As an initial step towards such interoperation, we have carried out an experiment involving the interoperatio...

In High-Level Architecture, federates are integrated into a federation in single Run-Time Infrastructure middleware, which handles High-Level Architecture services for interoperation. The interoperation of federations is required in order to combine systems simulated in existing federations. Unlike a single federation, the interoperation of federations provides the data security and makes it po...

The Web works as an open repository of intellectual resources published in the form of Web documents and Web applications. Such intellectual resources include not only multimedia contents but also application tools and services. Pervasive computing denotes an open system of intellectual resources in which users can dynamically select and interoperate some of these intellectual resources to perf...

Enabling interoperation between workflows, and between web services, continues to be a fundamental challenge. This paper proposes a new approach to interoperation based on hubs that are designed using “business artifacts”, a data-centric paradigm for workflow and business process specification. The artifact-centric interoperation hubs are focused primarily on facilitating communication and busi...

The ultimate goal for the Web services effort is seamless interoperation among networked devices and programs through the development of distributed computing infrastructure and Web standards. Industry has been fast off the mark with the development of computing infrastructure such as .NET and J2EE, Web service protocols such as SOAP, and a communication-level description language in WSDL.
