The active rule system is a key element of the rule-based mobile agent middleware system for activeness and autonomy of the sensor network. The rule manager, which is the main components of active rule based mobile agent framework and active rule system, performs the control and management of the rule-related processes. In this paper, we design and implement the roles and functions of the rule manager in detail. The proposed rule manager plays an important role in the sensor network environment. The sensor data server loads the active rule on the mobile agent by the rule manager according to the situations, and the mobile agent migrates to the destination node and performs the designated action. This active rule-based mobile agent middleware system presents the usefulness for the various sensor network applications. Through the rule execution experiment using the rule-based mobile agent, we show the adaptability and applicability of rule-based mobile agent middleware system to the dynamic environmental changes in sensor networks.

XML is the standard for storing and exchanging information in the Web. As the applications of XML become more widespread, the worts on rule-based technology are rapidly going on to support reactive functionality on the XML documents and the XML repositories. Active rules consist of event-condition-action, which automatically perform actions in response to status change of database. Therefore the feature of active rule satisfies the new needs in XML setting. In this paper, we propose not only a XML based active rule language to manage XML document automatically, but also an active rule analysis method to guarantee rule termination. Finally, we demonstrate some examples of active rule defined by the proposed rule language, and also verify the efficiency of our analysis method by comparing with another method.

대부분 기존의 Multimedia 시스템은 응용프로그램이나 사용자에 의해 발생되는 Operation 을 수동적인 형태로 처리를 한다. 개발자는 시스템의 목적이나 전략에 따라 시스템을 구성하는 각각의 Module에 대해 작업을 해야 하지만 목적이나 전략이 변경되면 해당되는 각각의 Module을 찾아서 수정을 해야만 한다. 이러한 일은 상당히 번거롭고 Error를 발생시킬 수 있는 가능성을 내포하고 있다. 또한 Multimedia 시스템은 적절한 정보를 관리하고 다양한 응용프로그램을 지원하기 위해서 많은 기능을 가져야 한다. 이 논문은 Event-Condition-Action(ECA) rule의 Active특성을 Multimedia 시스템에 적용하는 것을 제안하고 있다. 이러한 접근 방법을 통해 코드를 효과적으로 관리할 수 있다. 또한, Operation으로부터 rule을 정의하고 관리하는 것을 분리함으로써 Multimedia 시스템에 대해 상위 계층의 새로운 개념을 제시한다. 이렇게 Multimedia 시스템 상에 Active Rule시스템을 계층화시킴으로써 진보된 Multimedia 서비스를 제공할 수 있다. 시스템의 모든 기능은 Event에 의해 발생되고 Rule의 Condition이 만족할 때 해당하는 Rule의 Action이 실행된다. 여기서 제안한 Interactive Group Teaching System (IGTS) 시스템은 Active Rule 시스템인 Active Rule Management System(ARMS) 상에서 구현되었고, Active 속성을 가진 IGTS 을 설계하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 본 시스템은 ECA Rule 개념이 적용 가능함을 보여준다.

Emergent requests or urgent information among enterprises require their intimate collaboration in B2B EC (electronic commerce). This paper analyzes the needs of intimate cooperation of distributed EC systems in terms of business contracts and presents an active rule-based methodology of close cooperation among EC systems and an active rule component to support it. Since the rule component provides high level rule patterns and event-based immediate processing, system administrators and programmers can easily program and maintain intimate cooperation of distributed EC systems independently to the application logic. The proposed active rule component facilitates HTTP protocol. Its prototype is implemented in B2B EC environment and evaluated using basic trigger facility of a commercial DBMS.

In the active databases, whenever an event occurs, active rules with the matching event specifications are triggered automatically, its action will be executed. Because these rules may in turn trigger other rules including themselves, the set of rules may be executing each other indefinitely. These problem can be solved by rule termination analysis, and it is efficient for the rule termination to execute in compile time of rule. In this paper we not only design rule compiler with rule termination analyzer, but also propose its execution model and algorithm. The completeness of proposed model is verified by algorithm formalization of rule termination analysis.

In this paper we present compiler-based active rule system to efficiently maintain spatial integrity constraints in a heterogeneous, distributed environment. Specially, the prototype active rule system presented has been developed as a component of a whole middleware system called SDBC(Spatile DataBase Connectivity). Due to this reason, our active rule system is provided for heterogeneous ODBMSs in a distributed environment and used to define spatial integrity constraints using the active rules in E-C-A(Event-Condition-Action) type. Using this active rule system, an application programmer can free himself from a heavier burden on the integrity maintenance of application objects. In the compiler-based approach, active rules applicable to events raised by a database program are directly inserted into the program in a function type by the preprocessor, and then they are compiled with the application program source codes. One advantage of this approach is that there is no run-time overhead accompanied by monitoring all the database transitions when preprocessed program is executed. This active rule system also provides facilities to manage changed rules and dynamically interpret those rules at run-tuime.

To efficiently manage data varying over time and process event driven transactions, some of the various database applications recently emerged require database systems supporting both a temporal data model and active rule processing. There has been much progress in independent research on temporal databases and active databases, but studies on databases which support both functions, have been rare. In this paper, an active temporal rule model supporting both active rule processing and temporal data model is presented with its rule expression language. This active temporal rule model contributes to the active function extension of the temporal database, and to establishing the concept of data access events which refer temporal attributes of data in active rules.

This paper propose an active rule and its semantic model integrating active rule system into temporal database. Most of previous works have been focused on condition action(CA) rule for temporal relations. However, proposed active rule model supports full SQL:3 trigger functionalitics including transition variable and table as well as tuple-level and statement-level active rules in E CA granularity. A bi-temporal concept of active rule and valid time event are also proposed newlv.

Active database execute an action of active rule defined in advance which is triggered automatically, whenever an event with the matching event specifications occurs, its condition is evaluated. Because these rules may in turn trigger other rules, the set of rules may be triggered each other indefinitely, Therefore, we propose a termination analysis method to guarantee termination. This proposed method considers composite event as well as rule execution time. Above all, the method not only uses deactivation graph combined to trigger graph for exact analysis, but also improves the complexity of analysis. Also the proposed method enhances accuracy of analysis result.

In this paper, we propose the active rule system applying with emotional margin for power saving control. The proposed system in this paper is a part of the system which derives smart power saving by adjusting the illuminance using active rules within compromising the user's emotion. For this, we set the specific range of standard illuminance and the lower bound of user's emotional margin of illuminance based on measurements and analysis, and use these data in design of active rules. And then, we design and implement the active rule system using mobile agent. The mobile agent in the proposed system migrates to the destination sensor nodes, acquires and transmits sensor data according to the purpose and needs through the active rules, and directly executes the actions corresponding to the optional events(changed sensor data and/or time etc.). And then, we show the potential applicability of the proposed active rule system in various active sensor network applications through the interaction with the rule base and mobile sensor network middleware system.
