The func_ref expression evaluates to a (generic or specific) function identifier, which may be the same as the function that the expression is a part of, thus allowing recursive function invocations. The expression labelled arg evaluates to an arbitrary object or aggregate object. The semantics of evaluating function applications was discussed in detail in section 2. For example, to set the name of a person, we evaluate the following expression   FunAssign(function name.person) (p1,'John')  In this example, the first expression is itself a function call, applying the function FunAssign to the function name.person (an example of a specific function reference). This returns the oid of the function that sets a person's name, which is subsequently applied to a tuple of two elements, the oid of the person and the new name (a string o...

The multidatabase system is a database system which integrates pre--existing databases allowing the users to access simultaneously database systems (DBMSs) formulating a global query based on a global schema.  The component DBMSs are assumed to be heterogeneous and autonomous. Heterogeneity refers to different user interfaces, data models, query languages, and query optimization strategies [5]. Local autonomy means that each DBMS retains complete control over local data and processing. As result of this, its cost model may not be available to the global query optimizer.  When a global query is submitted, it is decomposed into two types of queries [1]   -- subqueries, operating on sharable data items from local databases,  -- assembling queries, consisting of, CiteSeerX  2009-04-15 2007-11-22 2000 application/pdf text http //citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.33.8596 http //www.edbt2000.uni-konstanz.de/phd-workshop/papers/Josinski.pdf en 10.1.1.27.4704 10.1.1.51.8352 Metadata may be used without restrictions as long as the oai identifier remains attached to it." } }

In this chapter we discuss the application  of transaction concepts to activities that involve coordinated execution of multiple tasks (possibly of  different types) over different processing entities. Such applications are referred to as transactional  workflows. In this chapter we discuss the specification of such workflows and the issues involved in their  execution.  1 What is a Workflow?  Workflows are activities involving the coordinated execution of multiple tasks performed by different processing entities.

The func_ref expression evaluates to a (generic or specific) function identifier, which may be the same as the function that the expression is a part of, thus allowing recursive function invocations. The expression labelled arg evaluates to an arbitrary object or aggregate object. The semantics of evaluating function applications was discussed in detail in section 2. For example, to set the name of a person, we evaluate the following expression   FunAssign(function name.person) (p1,'John')  In this example, the first expression is itself a function call, applying the function FunAssign to the function name.person (an example of a specific function reference). This returns the oid of the function that sets a person's name, which is subsequently applied to a tuple of two elements, the oid of the person and the new name (a string o...

The multidatabase system is a database system which integrates pre--existing databases allowing the users to access simultaneously database systems (DBMSs) formulating a global query based on a global schema.  The component DBMSs are assumed to be heterogeneous and autonomous. Heterogeneity refers to different user interfaces, data models, query languages, and query optimization strategies [5]. Local autonomy means that each DBMS retains complete control over local data and processing. As result of this, its cost model may not be available to the global query optimizer.  When a global query is submitted, it is decomposed into two types of queries [1]   -- subqueries, operating on sharable data items from local databases,  -- assembling queries, consisting of, CiteSeerX  2009-04-15 2007-11-22 2000 application/pdf text http //citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.33.8596 http //www.edbt2000.uni-konstanz.de/phd-workshop/papers/Josinski.pdf en 10.1.1.27.4704 10.1.1.51.8352 Metadata may be used without restrictions as long as the oai identifier remains attached to it." } }

In this chapter we discuss the application  of transaction concepts to activities that involve coordinated execution of multiple tasks (possibly of  different types) over different processing entities. Such applications are referred to as transactional  workflows. In this chapter we discuss the specification of such workflows and the issues involved in their  execution.  1 What is a Workflow?  Workflows are activities involving the coordinated execution of multiple tasks performed by different processing entities.

The func_ref expression evaluates to a (generic or specific) function identifier, which may be the same as the function that the expression is a part of, thus allowing recursive function invocations. The expression labelled arg evaluates to an arbitrary object or aggregate object. The semantics of evaluating function applications was discussed in detail in section 2. For example, to set the name of a person, we evaluate the following expression   FunAssign(function name.person) (p1,'John')  In this example, the first expression is itself a function call, applying the function FunAssign to the function name.person (an example of a specific function reference). This returns the oid of the function that sets a person's name, which is subsequently applied to a tuple of two elements, the oid of the person and the new name (a string o...

The multidatabase system is a database system which integrates pre--existing databases allowing the users to access simultaneously database systems (DBMSs) formulating a global query based on a global schema.  The component DBMSs are assumed to be heterogeneous and autonomous. Heterogeneity refers to different user interfaces, data models, query languages, and query optimization strategies [5]. Local autonomy means that each DBMS retains complete control over local data and processing. As result of this, its cost model may not be available to the global query optimizer.  When a global query is submitted, it is decomposed into two types of queries [1]   -- subqueries, operating on sharable data items from local databases,  -- assembling queries, consisting of, CiteSeerX  2009-04-15 2007-11-22 2000 application/pdf text http //citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.33.8596 http //www.edbt2000.uni-konstanz.de/phd-workshop/papers/Josinski.pdf en 10.1.1.27.4704 10.1.1.51.8352 Metadata may be used without restrictions as long as the oai identifier remains attached to it." } }

In this chapter we discuss the application  of transaction concepts to activities that involve coordinated execution of multiple tasks (possibly of  different types) over different processing entities. Such applications are referred to as transactional  workflows. In this chapter we discuss the specification of such workflows and the issues involved in their  execution.  1 What is a Workflow?  Workflows are activities involving the coordinated execution of multiple tasks performed by different processing entities.

The multidatabase system is a database system which integrates pre--existing databases allowing the users to access simultaneously database systems (DBMSs) formulating a global query based on a global schema.  The component DBMSs are assumed to be heterogeneous and autonomous. Heterogeneity refers to different user interfaces, data models, query languages, and query optimization strategies [5]. Local autonomy means that each DBMS retains complete control over local data and processing. As result of this, its cost model may not be available to the global query optimizer.  When a global query is submitted, it is decomposed into two types of queries [1]   -- subqueries, operating on sharable data items from local databases,  -- assembling queries, consisting of, CiteSeerX  2009-04-15 2007-11-22 2000 application/pdf text http //citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.33.8596 http //www.edbt2000.uni-konstanz.de/phd-workshop/papers/Josinski.pdf en 10.1.1.27.4704 10.1.1.51.8352 Metadata may be used without restrictions as long as the oai identifier remains attached to it." }, "jacc": 0.527027f }

In this chapter we discuss the application  of transaction concepts to activities that involve coordinated execution of multiple tasks (possibly of  different types) over different processing entities. Such applications are referred to as transactional  workflows. In this chapter we discuss the specification of such workflows and the issues involved in their  execution.  1 What is a Workflow?  Workflows are activities involving the coordinated execution of multiple tasks performed by different processing entities. A task defines some work to be done and can be specified in a number of ways, including a textual description in a file or an email, a form, a message, or a computer program. A processing entity that performs the tasks may be a person or a software system (e.g., a mailer, an application program, a database mana...

The objectoriented approach is already being tentatively applied in the modeling of \"o#ce objects\" and in the presentation of these entities to users as such in \"desktop\" interfaces to o#ce software. In order to fully exploit the approach to achieve integrated o#ce systems, we need to use object-oriented programming languages, object-oriented run-time support, and object-oriented software engineering environments.

The multidatabase system is a database system which integrates pre--existing databases allowing the users to access simultaneously database systems (DBMSs) formulating a global query based on a global schema.  The component DBMSs are assumed to be heterogeneous and autonomous. Heterogeneity refers to different user interfaces, data models, query languages, and query optimization strategies [5]. Local autonomy means that each DBMS retains complete control over local data and processing. As result of this, its cost model may not be available to the global query optimizer.  When a global query is submitted, it is decomposed into two types of queries [1]   -- subqueries, operating on sharable data items from local databases,  -- assembling queries, consisting of, CiteSeerX  2009-04-15 2007-11-22 2000 application/pdf text http //citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.33.8596 http //www.edbt2000.uni-konstanz.de/phd-workshop/papers/Josinski.pdf en 10.1.1.27.4704 10.1.1.51.8352 Metadata may be used without restrictions as long as the oai identifier remains attached to it." } }
