; Chaib-draaa, BrahimWhile most e-commerce research focuses on one market based problems, less work has been done on mul-timarket aggregation. Nowadays it is important to address the multimarket package e-procurement problem if we want to acquire a combination of goods and services from different suppliers and service providers. To achieve this, one should address the issues pertaining to identifying of a company's needs, discovering poten-tial partners and suppliers, gathering distributed information and conducting combined negotiations, creating a seamless of information flow with different heterogeneous markets, suppliers, and partners, and finally con-cluding transactions. Several commercial e-procurement applications already automate some aspects of the procurement processes, helping decision makers and employees complete their purchasing activity. But none take into account the key aspects of combining goods and services into one aggregated package. Agent-based systems are well equipped to address the challenges of multimarket package e-procurement. Indeed, goal driven autonomous agents aim to satisfy user requirements and preferences while being flexible enough to deal with the diversity of semantics amongst markets, suppliers, service providers, partners and individual sellers. A dis-tributed common shared space, called infospace, comprised of the negotiation exchanges and states, allows for agent coordination, market aggregation, and packages construction. This paper presents some issues and chal-lenges faced in multimarket package e-procurement, and puts forward an agent-based approach to deal with them. - PublicationAccès libreIntensional Communities(1999)
; Plaice, JohnWe describe the interaction and relation between entities in distributed systems, as proposed in the Web Operating System (WOS). Every entity in the system is a versioned object which depends on its current context, which itself is pro- grammable and can be effected by the objects circulating within it. These entities interact through mechanisms of requests/answers and negotiations. Those who exhibit functional and behavioral affinities may dynamically associate themselves to form communities. This positional paper states the basic ideas of the notion of communities in distributed systems. - PublicationMétadonnées seulementDynamic server selection in distributed object computing systems(1998)
; Van Dongen, VincentIn this paper, we address the problem of dynamic server selection among a set of objectservers, as the ones defined by CORBA and DCOM, providing the same service type. Theseservers are not necessarily replicas but may have different interfaces and belong to differentservice providers. As a solution, we propose a novel architecture that we call LoDACE. Thisarchitecture has been designed to allow dynamic server selection and load sharing indistributed object computing environments. Specifically, the architecture prevents theoccurrence of major load imbalances that can cause failures in distributed applications. Thearchitecture is based on both the use of a trading service and the monitoring of the servers’load. Our interest in the trader is motivated by the need to discover object serversdynamically. LoDACE allows service requests to be processed by lightly loaded serversselected dynamically. The expected results are better performances in terms of responsivenessand availability of servers. - PublicationMétadonnées seulementLessons Learned from Applying Big Data Paradigms to a Large Scale Scientific WorkflowThe increasing amount of data related to the execution of scientific workflows has raised awareness of their shift towards parallel data-intensive problems. In this paper, we deliver our experience with combining the traditional high-performance computing and grid-based approaches for scientific workflows, with Big Data analytics paradigms. Our goal was to assess and discuss the suitability of such data-intensive-oriented mechanisms for production-ready workflows, especially in terms of scalability, focusing on a key element in the Big Data ecosystem: the data-centric programming model. Hence, we reproduced the functionality of a MPI-based iterative workflow from the hydrology domain, EnKF-HGS, using the Spark data analysis framework. We conducted experiments on a local cluster, and we relied on our results to discuss promising directions for further research.
