In contrast to relational databases, queries over graph databases enable to refer directly to the graph structure of such graph data. For example, graph pattern matching can be employed to formulate queries over graph data. However, as for relational databases running complex queries can be very time-consuming and ruin the interactivity with the database. One possible approach to deal with this performance issue is to employ database views that consist of pre-computed answers to common and often stated queries. But to ensure that database views yield consistent query results in comparison with the data from which they are derived, these database views must be updated before queries make use of these database views. Such a maintenance of database views must be performed efficiently, otherwise the effort to create and maintain views may not pay off in comparison to processing the queries directly on the data from which the database views are derived. At the time of writing, graph databases do not support database views and are limited to graph indexes that index nodes and edges of the graph data for fast query evaluation, but do not enable to maintain pre-computed answers of complex queries over graph data. Moreover, the maintenance of database views in graph databases becomes even more challenging when negation and recursion have to be supported as in deductive relational databases. In this technical report, we present an approach for the efficient and scalable incremental graph view maintenance for deductive graph databases. The main concept of our approach is a generalized discrimination network that enables to model nested graph conditions including negative application conditions and recursion, which specify the content of graph views derived from graph data stored by graph databases. The discrimination network enables to automatically derive generic maintenance rules using graph transformations for maintaining graph views in case the graph data from which the graph views are derived change. We evaluate our approach in terms of a case study using multiple data sets derived from open source projects.}, language = {en} } @book{HerbstMaschlerNiephausetal.2015, author = {Herbst, Eva-Maria and Maschler, Fabian and Niephaus, Fabio and Reimann, Max and Steier, Julia and Felgentreff, Tim and Lincke, Jens and Taeumel, Marcel and Hirschfeld, Robert and Witt, Carsten}, title = {ecoControl}, number = {93}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-318-3}, issn = {1613-5652}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-72147}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {viii, 142}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Eine dezentrale Energieversorgung ist ein erster Schritt in Richtung Energiewende.

One of such classes consists of dual-normal programs, where the number of positive body atoms in proper rules is at most one. Unlike other classes of programs, dual-normal programs have received little attention so far. In this paper we study this class. We relate dual-normal programs to propositional theories and to normal programs by presenting several inter-translations. With the translation from dual-normal to normal programs at hand, we introduce the novel class of body-cycle free programs, which are in many respects dual to head-cycle free programs. We establish the expressive power of dual-normal programs in terms of SE- and UE-models, and compare them to normal programs.

Prozessmodelle beschreiben wer welche Aufgabe auszuf{\"u}hren hat, um das Gesch{\"a}ftsziel zu erreichen, und welche Informationen daf{\"u}r ben{\"o}tigt werden. Damit beinhalten Prozessmodelle Informationen {\"u}ber den Kontrollfluss, die Zuweisung von Verantwortlichkeiten, den Datenfluss und Informationssysteme. Die Automatisierung von Gesch{\"a}ftsprozessen erh{\"o}ht die Effizienz der Arbeitserledigung und wird durch Process Engines unterst{\"u}tzt.

Dem entgegen verspricht ein modell-getriebenes Behandeln von Daten eine vereinfachte Implementation in der Process Engine und verringert gleichzeitig die Fehleranf{\"a}lligkeit dank einer graphischen Visualisierung und reduziert den Entwicklungsaufwand durch Codegenerierung. Die vorliegende Dissertation besch{\"a}ftigt sich mit der Modellierung, der Analyse und der Ausf{\"u}hrung von Daten in Gesch{\"a}ftsprozessen. Als formale Basis f{\"u}r die Prozessausf{\"u}hrung wird ein konzeptuelles Framework f{\"u}r die Integration von Prozessen und Daten eingef{\"u}hrt. Dieses Framework wird durch operationelle Semantik erg{\"a}nzt, die mittels einem um Daten erweiterten Petrinetz-Mapping vorgestellt wird. Die modellgetriebene Ausf{\"u}hrung von Daten muss komplexe Datenabh{\"a}ngigkeiten, Prozessdaten und den Datenaustausch ber{\"u}cksichtigen. Letzterer tritt bei der Kommunikation zwischen mehreren Prozessteilnehmern auf. Diese Arbeit nutzt Konzepte aus dem Bereich der Datenbanken und {\"u}berf{\"u}hrt diese ins Gesch{\"a}ftsprozessmanagement, um Datenoperationen zu unterscheiden, um Abh{\"a}ngigkeiten zwischen Datenobjekten des gleichen und verschiedenen Typs zu spezifizieren, um modellierte Datenknoten sowie empfangene Nachrichten zur richtigen laufenden Prozessinstanz zu korrelieren und um Nachrichten f{\"u}r die Prozess{\"u}bergreifende Kommunikation zu generieren. Der entsprechende Ansatz ist nicht auf eine bestimmte Prozessbeschreibungssprache begrenzt und wurde prototypisch implementiert. Die Automatisierung der Datenbehandlung in Gesch{\"a}ftsprozessen erfordert entsprechend annotierte und korrekte Prozessmodelle. Als Unterst{\"u}tzung zur Datenannotierung f{\"u}hrt diese Arbeit einen Algorithmus ein, welcher Informationen {\"u}ber Datenknoten, deren Zust{\"a}nde und Datenabh{\"a}ngigkeiten aus Kontrollflussinformationen extrahiert und die Prozessmodelle entsprechend annotiert. Allerdings k{\"o}nnen gew{\"o}hnlich nicht alle erforderlichen Informationen aus Kontrollflussinformationen extrahiert werden, da detaillierte Angaben {\"u}ber m{\"o}gliche Datenmanipulationen fehlen. Deshalb sind weitere Prozessmodellverfeinerungen notwendig. Basierend auf einer Menge von Objektlebenszyklen kann ein Prozessmodell derart verfeinert werden, dass die in den Objektlebenszyklen spezifizierten Datenmanipulationen automatisiert in ein Prozessmodell {\"u}berf{\"u}hrt werden k{\"o}nnen. Prozessmodelle stellen eine Abstraktion dar. Somit fokussieren sie auf verschiedene Teilbereiche und stellen diese im Detail dar. Solche Detailbereiche sind beispielsweise die Kontrollflusssicht und die Datenflusssicht, welche oft durch Aktivit{\"a}ts-zentrierte beziehungsweise Objekt-zentrierte Prozessmodelle abgebildet werden. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden Algorithmen zur Transformation zwischen diesen Sichten beschrieben. Zur Sicherstellung der Modellkorrektheit wird das Konzept der „weak conformance" zur {\"U}berpr{\"u}fung der Konsistenz zwischen Objektlebenszyklen und dem Prozessmodell eingef{\"u}hrt. Dabei darf das Prozessmodell nur Datenmanipulationen enthalten, die auch in einem Objektlebenszyklus spezifiziert sind. Die Korrektheit wird mittels Soundness-{\"U}berpr{\"u}fung einer hybriden Darstellung ermittelt, so dass Kontrollfluss- und Datenkorrektheit integriert {\"u}berpr{\"u}ft werden.

In the course of Business Process Management efforts, companies and organizations assemble large process model repositories with many hundreds and thousands of business process models bearing a large amount of information. With the advent of large business process model collections, new challenges arise as structuring and managing a large amount of process models, their maintenance, and their quality assurance. This is covered by business process architectures that have been introduced for organizing and structuring business process model collections. A variety of business process architecture approaches have been proposed that align business processes along aspects of interest, e. g., goals, functions, or objects. They provide a high level categorization of single processes ignoring their interdependencies, thus hiding valuable information. The production of goods or the delivery of services are often realized by a complex system of interdependent business processes. Hence, taking a holistic view at business processes interdependencies becomes a major necessity to organize, analyze, and assess the impact of their re-/design. Visualizing business processes interdependencies reveals hidden and implicit information from a process model collection. In this thesis, we present a novel Business Process Architecture approach for representing and analyzing business process interdependencies on an abstract level. We propose a formal definition of our Business Process Architecture approach, design correctness criteria, and develop analysis techniques for assessing their quality. We describe a methodology for applying our Business Process Architecture approach top-down and bottom-up. This includes techniques for Business Process Architecture extraction from, and decomposition to process models while considering consistency issues between business process architecture and process model level. Using our extraction algorithm, we present a novel technique to identify and visualize data interdependencies in Business Process Data Architectures.

We begin by formulating the determination of such schedules as multi-criteria optimization problems and provide corresponding ASP encodings. The resulting encodings are easily customizable for different settings, and the computation of optimum schedules can mostly be done in the blink of an eye, even when dealing with large runtime data sets stemming from many solvers on hundreds to thousands of instances.
