“…In using publish/subscribe paradigms for agent interactions, our work builds on our earlier work (Blake 2003) and related work (Moro and Viroli 2001;Oki et al 1993;Nickerson 2003) that endorse the use of such paradigms for business collaboration. We extend the state of the art in this area by taking an applied investigation of how the delay of this type messaging affects system operation.…”

Distributed component-based services and semantic web services are promising technologies for next generation inter-enterprise integration. The dynamic nature of this domain presents a complex problem for tools that intend to support this cross-organizational integration. However, the autonomy and adaptation of software agents represent a viable solution for the composition and enactment of cross-organizational services. Currently, there are few studies that measure the impact of the dynamic environmental effects on service composition. On an on-going basis, composite services or workflow processes of web services may be constantly changing in terms of responsiveness of services, accessibility of services and their meta-information, business process schema changes, etc. These conditions impact what interactions a team of agents must undergo to achieve a specific process derived of composite web services. This paper describes an approach, model, and supporting software toward the efficient design of interaction protocols for coordinating agent teams in the business process orchestration domain. This approach considers several environmental conditions related to the dynamism of the Internet.

“…For different reasons, other researchers have reached the conclusion that event-based infrastructure should underpin workflow management systems. Two recent papers describe workflow systems that utilize the publish/subscribe paradigm [4,5], originally discussed in [6]. Publish/subscribe technology provides a method for applications to publish messages that are received only by those who actively subscribe to a category of messages.…”

Long transactions cause pragmatic problems for workflow systems -as the transaction is moving, so is the surrounding world. We look at three scenarios in which external events affect the performance and public perception of a system. Then we discuss management user interfaces. First, we consider an intervention interface. Second, we argue that a context monitor, manned by humans rather than machines, can provide a way for the overall system to be more responsive to what is happening in the surrounding world, by making use of our cognitive capacity to grasp and react to unforeseen events. Third, we propose a planning interface, which can be to design how managers will respond to certain foreseeable situations. The relationship of these interfaces to the overall problem of enterprise integration is described, and some generalizations are made about how we interact with software.

“…Messaging and distributed transactions were, at first, separate capabilities. As applications became more demanding, it became necessary to provide message delivery and handling together within a transaction [10], [15], [7]. Transactional contentbased pub/sub was introduced in [8].…”

Publish/subscribe is a common messaging paradigm used for asynchronous communication between applications. Synchronous publish/subscribe middleware exist but are less common because they must address two main performance difficulties, the first being that message dissemination involves larger delays and the second being that resources remain locked for a much longer period of time. Hermes Transaction Service (HTS) is such a middleware, which is capable of treating a group of publications as a transaction. In this paper, we propose a design for a Transactional publish/subscribe middleware, based on HTS. Accordingly, we name the middleware TOPS -Transaction Oriented Publish/Subscribe. We present the detailed functionality and architecture of TOPS and its differences with HTS. To demonstrate the advantages of the TOPS middleware, we describe how different strategies of replication may be implemented all using the middleware proposed.
