This article discusses the challenges for Database Management in the Internet of Things. We provide scenarios to illustrate the new world that will be produced by the Internet of Things, where physical objects are fully integrated into the information highway. We discuss the different types of data that will be part of the Internet of Things. These include identification, positional, environmental, historical, and descriptive data. We consider the challenges brought by the need to manage vast quantities of data across heterogeneous systems. In particular, we consider the areas of querying, indexing, process modeling, transaction handling, and integration of heterogeneous systems. We refer to the earlier work that might provide solutions for these challenges. Finally we discuss a road map for the Internet of Things and respective technical priorities.

According to an embodiment of the invention, a method includes generating an instance of a program object for a client system, the client system being of a computer platform type, the program object being compatible with a plurality of different computer platform types; connecting the instance of the program object with an interface of a server; and managing an application on the server using the instance of the program object.

Connection of clients for management of systems

The evolution of computing technology and wireless networks has contributed to the miniaturization of mobile devices and their increase in power, providing services anywhere and anytime. In this scenario, applications have considered the user’s contexts to make decisions (Context Awareness). Context-aware applications have enabled new opportunities in different areas, for example, education, games and entertainment, commerce, and competence management. In this article, we present MultCComp, a multi-temporal context-aware system for competences management. The main system contribution is to take advantage of the workers’ present and past contexts to help them to develop their competences. We define as multi-temporal context awareness the joint use of workers’ present and past contexts to assist them in the development of their competences. We developed a prototype and conducted two experiments with it in an evaluation environment. The first experiment aimed to demonstrate the system functionalities. It consisted of two evaluation scenarios that were followed by two users. The second experiment focused on evaluating the acceptance of the system. It comprised a scenario that was followed by 21 users, who filled out a questionnaire at the end of the test.

A Multi-Temporal Context-aware System for Competences Management

Business to business integration has recently been performed by employing Web service environments. Moreover, such environments are being provided by major players on the technology markets. Those environments are based on open specifications for transaction coordination. When a failure in such an environment occurs, a compensation can be initiated to recover from the failure. However, current environments have only limited capabilities for compensations, and are usually based on backward recovery. In this article, we introduce an environment to deal with advanced compensations based on forward recovery principles. We extend the existing Web service transaction coordination architecture and infrastructure in order to support flexible compensation operations. We use a contract-based approach, which allows the specification of permitted compensations at runtime. We introduce abstract service and adapter components, which allow us to separate the compensation logic from the coordination logic. In this way, we can easily plug in or plug out different compensation strategies based on a specification language defined on top of basic compensation activities and complex compensation types. Experiments with our approach and environment show that such an approach to compensation is feasible and beneficial. Additionally, we introduce a cost-benefit model to evaluate the proposed environment based on net value analysis. The evaluation shows in which circumstances the environment is economical.

An environment for flexible advanced compensations of Web service transactions

For efficiently managing Web Services (WS) transactions which are executed across multiple loosely-coupled autonomous organizations, isolation is commonly relaxed. A Web services operation of a transaction releases locks on its resources once its jobs are completed without waiting for the completions of other operations. However, those early unlocked resources can be seen by other transactions, which can spoil data integrity and causes incorrect outcomes. Existing WS transaction standards do not consider this problem. In this paper, we propose a mechanism to ensure the consistent executions of isolation-relaxing WS transactions. The mechanism effectively detects inconsistent states of transactions with a notion of a completion dependency and recovers them to consistent states. We also propose a new Web services Transaction Dependency management Protocol (WTDP). WTDP helps organizations manage the WS transactions easily without data inconsistency. WTDP is designed to be compliant with a representative WS transaction standard, the Web Services Transactions specifications, for easy integration into existing WS transaction systems. We prototyped a WTDP-based WS transaction management system to validate our protocol.

In this paper, we propose a mechanism to ensure the consistent executions of isolation-relaxing WS transactions. The mechanism effectively detects inconsistent states of transactions with a notion of an end-state dependency and recovers them to consistent states. We also propose a new Web services Transaction Dependency management Protocol (WTDP). WTDP helps organizations manage the WS transactions easily without data inconsistency.

A system and method for aborting web services automatically. An application program container has a first web service application program embedded, intercepts a message that is transmitted and received between a second web service program located externally and the first web service application program, identifies the kind of an operation requested by the second web service application program, and keeps information required for compensation. A protocol manager generates and manages a first sub-transaction object by a request of the second web service application program. A local compensator compensates the first sub-transaction if a global transaction coordinator sends a command to compensate a second sub-transaction already committed. A protocol service unit transmits and receives messages for managing the first sub-transaction. A registration service unit registers the generated first sub-transaction with the global transaction coordinator.

For the intelligent business process management, ebXML registry needs to efficiently store and process semantic information. Even though ebXML registry provides two basic information models to define and associate semantics between registry objects; e.g., classification information model and association information model, they cannot express all semantics of the standard Web ontology language (OWL) due to their generic differences in design goals and usage patterns. To support OWL semantics in ebXML registries is to provide a foundation for intelligent information processing in ebXML registries. In this paper, we address how to embed OWL semantics in the ebXML registry. To express OWL constructs in ebXML registries, we propose a new ebXML registry information model, i.e., a semantic information model (SIM).

In this paper, we propose an ontology-based lifelog management system, called OntLMS, which is built by utilizing the existing lifelog management system based on the relational data model. We design ontology for modelling lifelog data and provide both one-time and incremental conversion methods that transform lifelog data in the relational database into ontology. Our system supports expressive, user-centric queries such as a structured query and a keyword query, as well as a visual query. This paper shares the lessons learned from our experience on lifelog management, data migration over different data models, and ontology design.
