Identifying classes of programs for which the consistency problem is in NP is of interest from the theoretical standpoint and can potentially lead to improvements in the design of answer set programming solvers. 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. We also discuss the complexity of deciding whether dual-normal programs are strongly and uniformly equivalent.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{CurzonKalasSchubertetal.2015, author = {Curzon, Paul and Kalas, Ivan and Schubert, Sigrid and Schaper, Niclas and Barnes, Jan and Kennewell, Steve and Br{\"o}ker, Kathrin and Kastens, Uwe and Magenheim, Johannes and Dagiene, Valentina and Stupuriene, Gabriele and Ellis, Jason Brent and Abreu-Ellis, Carla Reis and Grillenberger, Andreas and Romeike, Ralf and Haugsbakken, Halvdan and Jones, Anthony and Lewin, Cathy and McNicol, Sarah and Nelles, Wolfgang and Neugebauer, Jonas and Ohrndorf, Laura and Schaper, Niclas and Schubert, Sigrid and Opel, Simone and Kramer, Matthias and Trommen, Michael and Pottb{\"a}cker, Florian and Ilaghef, Youssef and Passig, David and Tzuriel, David and Kedmi, Ganit Eshel and Saito, Toshinori and Webb, Mary and Weigend, Michael and Bottino, Rosa and Chioccariello, Augusto and Christensen, Rhonda and Knezek, Gerald and Gioko, Anthony Maina and Angondi, Enos Kiforo and Waga, Rosemary and Ohrndorf, Laura and Or-Bach, Rachel and Preston, Christina and Younie, Sarah and Przybylla, Mareen and Romeike, Ralf and Reynolds, Nicholas and Swainston, Andrew and Bendrups, Faye and Sysło, Maciej M. and Kwiatkowska, Anna Beata and Zieris, Holger and Gerstberger, Herbert and M{\"u}ller, Wolfgang and B{\"u}chner, Steffen and Opel, Simone and Schiller, Thomas and Wegner, Christian and Zender, Raphael and Lucke, Ulrike and Diethelm, Ira and Syrbe, J{\"o}rn and Lai, Kwok-Wing and Davis, Niki and Eickelmann, Birgit and Erstad, Ola and Fisser, Petra and Gibson, David and Khaddage, Ferial and Knezek, Gerald and Micheuz, Peter and Kloos, Carlos Delgado}, title = {KEYCIT 2014}, editor = {Brinda, Torsten and Reynolds, Nicholas and Romeike, Ralf and Schwill, Andreas}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-292-6}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-70325}, pages = {438}, year = {2015}, abstract = {In our rapidly changing world it is increasingly important not only to be an expert in a chosen field of study but also to be able to respond to developments, master new approaches to solving problems, and fulfil changing requirements in the modern world and in the job market.

Es st{\"u}tzt sich dabei auf konzeptionelle Modelle, von denen Prozessmodelle am weitesten verbreitet sind. 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. Daf{\"u}r werden jedoch Informationen {\"u}ber den Kontrollfluss, die Zuweisung von Verantwortlichkeiten f{\"u}r Aufgaben und den Datenfluss ben{\"o}tigt. W{\"a}hrend aktuelle Process Engines die ersten beiden Informationen weitgehend automatisiert verarbeiten k{\"o}nnen, m{\"u}ssen Daten manuell implementiert und gewartet werden. 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. Um eine korrekte Ausf{\"u}hrung des Prozessmodells zu gew{\"a}hrleisten, m{\"u}ssen gefundene Inkonsistenzen korrigiert werden. Daf{\"u}r werden f{\"u}r jede Inkonsistenz alternative Vorschl{\"a}ge zur Modelladaption identifiziert und vorgeschlagen.

Due SoS are composed of different independent systems that may join or leave the overall SoS at arbitrary point in times, the SoS structure varies during the systems lifetime and the overall SoS behavior emerges from the capabilities of the contained subsystems. In such complex system ensembles new demands of understanding the interaction among subsystems, the coupling of shared system knowledge and the influence of local adaptation strategies to the overall resulting system behavior arise. In this report, we formulate research questions with the focus of modeling interactions between system parts inside a SoS. Furthermore, we define our notion of important system types and terms by retrieving the current state of the art from literature. Having a common understanding of SoS, we discuss a set of typical SoS characteristics and derive general requirements for a collaboration modeling language.

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. Our Business Process Architecture approach provides business process experts,managers, and other users of a process model collection with an overview that allows reasoning about a large set of process models, understanding, and analyzing their interdependencies in a facilitated way.

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.

In this report we improve an existing approach for the automated verification of inductive invariants for graph transformation systems. By employing partial negative application conditions to represent and check many alternative conditions in a more compact manner, we can check examples with rules and constraints of substantially higher complexity. We also substantially extend the expressive power by supporting more complex negative application conditions and provide higher accuracy by employing advanced implication checks.

A useful tool for the latter has been to create an executable semantics from a formalism that can execute a test suite of examples. However, this mechanism so far did not allow to verify an implementation against the design. Babelsberg is a new design for a family of object-constraint languages. Recently, we have developed a formal semantics to clarify some issues in the design of those languages. Supplementing this work, we report here on how this formalism is turned into an executable operational semantics using the RML system. Furthermore, we show how we extended the executable semantics to create a framework that can generate test suites for the concrete Babelsberg implementations that provide traceability from the design to the language.

However, environmental events may also influence business process execution. Recent research shows how the technological improvements in both areas, business process management and complex event processing, can be combined and harmonized. The series of technical reports included in this collection provides insights in that combination with respect to technical feasibility and improvements based on real-world use cases originating from the EU-funded GET Service project - a project targeting transport optimization and green-house gas reduction in the logistics domain. Each report is complemented by a working prototype. This collection introduces six use cases from the logistics domain. Multiple transports - each being a single process instance - may be affected by the same events at the same point in time because of (partly) using the same transportation route, transportation vehicle or transportation mode (e.g. containers from multiple process instances on the same ship) such that these instances can be (partly) treated as batch. Thus, the first use case shows the influence of events to process instances processed in a batch. The case of sharing the entire route may be, for instance, due to origin from the same business process (e.g. transport three containers, where each is treated as single process instance because of being transported on three trucks) resulting in multi-instance process executions. The second use case shows how to handle monitoring and progress calculation in this context. Crucial to transportation processes are frequent changes of deadlines. The third use case shows how to deal with such frequent process changes in terms of propagating the changes along and beyond the process scope to identify probable deadline violations. While monitoring transport processes, disruptions may be detected which introduce some delay. Use case four shows how to propagate such delay in a non-linear fashion along the process instance to predict the end time of the instance. Non-linearity is crucial in logistics because of buffer times and missed connection on intermodal transports (a one-hour delay may result in a missed ship which is not going every hour). Finally, use cases five and six show the utilization of location-based process monitoring. Use case five enriches transport processes with real-time route and traffic event information to improve monitoring and planning capabilities. Use case six shows the inclusion of spatio-temporal events on the example of unexpected weather events.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KurbelNowakAzodietal.2015, author = {Kurbel, Karl and Nowak, Dawid and Azodi, Amir and Jaeger, David and Meinel, Christoph and Cheng, Feng and Sapegin, Andrey and Gawron, Marian and Morelli, Frank and Stahl, Lukas and Kerl, Stefan and Janz, Mariska and Hadaya, Abdulmasih and Ivanov, Ivaylo and Wiese, Lena and Neves, Mariana and Schapranow, Matthieu-Patrick and F{\"a}hnrich, Cindy and Feinbube, Frank and Eberhardt, Felix and Hagen, Wieland and Plauth, Max and Herscheid, Lena and Polze, Andreas and Barkowsky, Matthias and Dinger, Henriette and Faber, Lukas and Montenegro, Felix and Czach{\´o}rski, Tadeusz and Nycz, Monika and Nycz, Tomasz and Baader, Galina and Besner, Veronika and Hecht, Sonja and Schermann, Michael and Krcmar, Helmut and Wiradarma, Timur Pratama and Hentschel, Christian and Sack, Harald and Abramowicz, Witold and Sokolowska, Wioletta and Hossa, Tymoteusz and Opalka, Jakub and Fabisz, Karol and Kubaczyk, Mateusz and Cmil, Milena and Meng, Tianhui and Dadashnia, Sharam and Niesen, Tim and Fettke, Peter and Loos, Peter and Perscheid, Cindy and Schwarz, Christian and Schmidt, Christopher and Scholz, Matthias and Bock, Nikolai and Piller, Gunther and B{\"o}hm, Klaus and Norkus, Oliver and Clark, Brian and Friedrich, Bj{\"o}rn and Izadpanah, Babak and Merkel, Florian and Schweer, Ilias and Zimak, Alexander and Sauer, J{\"u}rgen and Fabian, Benjamin and Tilch, Georg and M{\"u}ller, David and Pl{\"o}ger, Sabrina and Friedrich, Christoph M. and Engels, Christoph and Amirkhanyan, Aragats and van der Walt, Est{\´e}e and Eloff, J.

Both approaches allow for dynamic application adaptation as well as integration of enterprise application. Commonly used technologies, such as J2EE and .NET, form de facto standards for the realization of complex distributed systems. Evolution of component systems has lead to web services and service-based architectures. This has been manifested in a multitude of industry standards and initiatives such as XML, WSDL UDDI, SOAP, etc. All these achievements lead to a new and promising paradigm in IT systems engineering which proposes to design complex software solutions as collaboration of contractually defined software services.

Aiming at a better process understanding and improvement, this event data can be used to analyze processes using process mining techniques. Process models can be automatically discovered and the execution can be checked for conformance to specified behavior. Moreover, existing process models can be enhanced and annotated with valuable information, for example for performance analysis. While the maturity of process mining algorithms is increasing and more tools are entering the market, process mining projects still face the problem of different levels of abstraction when comparing events with modeled business activities. Mapping the recorded events to activities of a given process model is essential for conformance checking, annotation and understanding of process discovery results. Current approaches try to abstract from events in an automated way that does not capture the required domain knowledge to fit business activities. Such techniques can be a good way to quickly reduce complexity in process discovery. Yet, they fail to enable techniques like conformance checking or model annotation, and potentially create misleading process discovery results by not using the known business terminology. In this thesis, we develop approaches that abstract an event log to the same level that is needed by the business. Typically, this abstraction level is defined by a given process model. Thus, the goal of this thesis is to match events from an event log to activities in a given process model. To accomplish this goal, behavioral and linguistic aspects of process models and event logs as well as domain knowledge captured in existing process documentation are taken into account to build semiautomatic matching approaches. The approaches establish a pre--processing for every available process mining technique that produces or annotates a process model, thereby reducing the manual effort for process analysts. While each of the presented approaches can be used in isolation, we also introduce a general framework for the integration of different matching approaches. The approaches have been evaluated in case studies with industry and using a large industry process model collection and simulated event logs. The evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness and efficiency of the approaches and their robustness towards nonconforming execution logs.}, 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. Dabei werden auch in Mehrfamilienh{\"a}usern vermehrt verschiedene Strom- und W{\"a}rmeerzeuger eingesetzt. Besonders in Deutschland kommen in diesem Zusammenhang Blockheizkraftwerke immer h{\"a}ufiger zum Einsatz, weil sie Gas sehr effizient in Strom und W{\"a}rme umwandeln k{\"o}nnen. Außerdem erm{\"o}glichen sie, im Zusammenspiel mit anderen Energiesystemen wie beispielsweise Photovoltaik-Anlagen, eine kontinuierliche und dezentrale Energieversorgung. Bei dem Betrieb von unterschiedlichen Energiesystemen ist es w{\"u}nschenswert, dass die Systeme aufeinander abgestimmt arbeiten. Allerdings ist es bisher schwierig, heterogene Energiesysteme effizient miteinander zu betreiben. Dadurch bleiben Einsparungspotentiale ungenutzt. Eine zentrale Steuerung kann deshalb die Effizienz des Gesamtsystems verbessern. Mit ecoControl stellen wir einen erweiterbaren Prototypen vor, der die Kooperation von Energiesystemen optimiert und Umweltfaktoren miteinbezieht. Dazu stellt die Software eine einheitliche Bedienungsoberfl{\"a}che zur Konfiguration aller Systeme zur Verf{\"u}gung. Außerdem bietet sie die M{\"o}glichkeit, Optimierungsalgorithmen mit Hilfe einer Programmierschnittstelle zu entwickeln, zu testen und auszuf{\"u}hren.

This problem was addressed by means of a simple, yet effective approach using handmade, uniform, and unordered schedules of multiple solvers in ppfolio, which showed very impressive performance in the 2011 Satisfiability Testing (SAT) Competition. Inspired by this, we take advantage of the modeling and solving capacities of Answer Set Programming (ASP) to automatically determine more refined, that is, nonuniform and ordered solver schedules from the existing benchmarking data. 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. Also, the fact that our approach can be customized easily enabled us to swiftly adapt it to generate parallel schedules for multi-processor machines.}, language = {en} } @misc{GebserHarrisonKaminskietal.2015, author = {Gebser, Martin and Harrison, Amelia and Kaminski, Roland and Lifschitz, Vladimir and Schaub, Torsten}, title = {Abstract gringo}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {592}, issn = {1866-8372}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-41475}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-414751}, pages = {15}, year = {2015}, abstract = {This paper defines the syntax and semantics of the input language of the ASP grounder gringo.
