Zur adäquaten Nutzung von Workflow-Implementierungen kommunizierender Geschäftsprozesse werden Konzepte vorgeschlagen, die von konkreten Implementierungen abstrahieren. Auf der Basis von Petrinetzen werden unterschiedliche ...

Interorganizational cooperation is more and more organized by the paradigm of services. The service-oriented architecture (SOA) provides a general framework for service interaction. It describes three roles, service ...

The EPCglobal network is designed to function as a global information retrieval network for objects carrying RFID tags with an Electronic Product Code (EPC). To locate corresponding information sources a so-called Object ...

Control of autonomous mobile robots in dynamical environments is interesting from a cognitive point of view as well as under application view points. Stimulus response controls are often favored for fast reactions to the ...

Petri nets are considered where the firings are controled by finite automata. The control may be distributed to different automata working over disjoint sets of transitions. To avoid deadlocks and conflicts for the whole ...

Two simple rules for solving conflicts and for ordering the firings of tronsitions in a Petri net are studied: 1. The "Maximum Strategy" (Salwicki, Müldner) whereby maximal sets of simultaneously fireble transitions are ...
