Project Description

The TAM research project at OGI aims at developing a flexible framework and algorithms to support adaptive, reliable, and efficient workflow activities in distributed open environments like the Internet and intranets. We combine advanced transaction processing (TP) technologies with adaptive methods to guide our system design, and build the mechanisms by extending the functions of existing TP systems.

This research was partially supported by the National Science Foundation grant IRI-9510112.

Project Members and Collaborations

Dr. Ling Liu

Dr. Calton Pu, Professor Tong Zhou, Past PhD student, Now with Oracle, USA.

Prototype Demo

We have developed a system as a prototype implementation of TAM, for effectively monitoring and managing transactional workflow applications. Follow this link to the Demo page. Note that this Demo requires a JDK 1.1 enabled browser.
