ECA Functionality in a Distributed Environment

New trends in information integration

“…Active database technology transforms passive database systems into reactive systems that respond to database and external events through the use of rule processing features [1,25]. Research issues for active database systems have focused on the development of active rule languages and the specification of execution models that define the semantics of rule execution [5,29]. Architectures for active environments have also been investigated, ranging from built-in rule processing components to layered approaches that add active capabilities to passive database systems.…”

An ECA-based framework for decentralized coordination of ubiquitous web services

“…ECA rules were originally proposed in the database community in order to provide traditional database systems with the capability of event-driven, instantaneous response [4,18]. Since the ECA approach offers a means of the concise and distinct descriptions of reactive behaviors, it has been adopted in a variety of application fields, and it is currently recognized as one of the most effective coordination methods for carrying out distributed coordination [5,7,15].…”

LINC: A Compact Yet Powerful Coordination Environment

“…Finally, the last action of the transaction does the required operation on the heating system. Contrary to the Event-Condition-Action [32] model, events and conditions are managed in the same way. Moreover, they may be enclosed with actions in a transaction.…”
