초록

상황인지 워크플로우를 바탕으로 특정 사용자 또는 환경에 따라 맞춤화된 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 상황인지 워크플로우 모델을 기반으로 다양한 서비스 시나리오를 개발해야 한다. 상황인지 워크플로우 모델은 서비스 도메인 내의 한정된 상황 정보와 서비스 정보를 활용하여 구성되기 때문에 다수의 서비스 시나리오에는 중복되는 요소들이 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 중복되는 요소들로 인해 발생하는 반복적인 작업 프로세스는 서비스 시나리오의 개발 프로세스를 지연시킨다. 따라서 서비스 시나리오 개발의 불필요한 작업 프로세스를 해소하기 위해 상황인지 워크플로우 모델의 요소들은 재사용되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 서비스 시나리오 개발의 프로세스 개선을 위한 상황인지 워크플로우 모델에서 XML 객체의 재사용 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 상황인지 워크플로우 모델에서 독립적으로 사용 가능한 XML 객체를 문서화하여 재사용 요소로 관리하고 서비스 시나리오 개발 과정에서 호출을 통해 재사용한다. 또한 재사용 요소의 속성 값을 변경하여 새로운 서비스 시나리오에 적용할 수 있다. 실험에서는 상황인지 워크플로우 모델의 요소들을 재사용하여 서비스 시나리오의 개발 프로세스가 간소화되는 과정을 시나리오 예제를 통해 보인다.

In order to provide customized services according to a specific user or environment, various service scenarios should be developed based on context-aware workflow model. As the context-aware workflow model is constructed using limited context information and service information in the service domain, overlapping elements can occur in many service scenarios. The repetitive work process that results from these overlapping elements delays the development process of the service scenario. Therefore, the elements of the context-aware workflow model must be reused to solve the unnecessary work processes of service scenario development. In this paper, we propose a reuse method XML Object in context-aware workflow model to improve the process of service scenario development. The proposed method documents and manages the independent XML Object of the context-aware workflow model and reuses it by invoking the unit document in the service scenario development process. It can also be applied to new service scenarios by changing the attribute values of reusable elements. Experiments show example that the development process of the service scenario is simplified by reusing the elements of the context-aware workflow model.
