EIA-9974979 Javier Arroyo-Figueroa波多黎各大学Mayaguez下一代软件：ERF：支持异构分布式系统的事件规则框架该提案提出了一个研究和开发事件规则框架（ERF）的计划，该框架包括一组支持异构分布式系统（HDS）开发的服务和工具。 本研究的目的在于探讨设计方案、演算法、应用与实作问题，以达成下列目标：1）一个高阶物件导向规格说明模型; 2）支持多个标准3）用作HDS行为规范的范例的事件和规则4）提供规则定义方法的基于规则的智能事件服务（RUBIES），事件通知（张贴）登记和规则管理;以及5）集成开发环境（IDE），其具有用于指定HDS的结构和行为以及用于HDS的运行时监视和维护的工具。

EIA-9974979Javier Arroyo-FigueroaUniversity of Puerto Rico-MayaguezNext Generation Software: ERF: An Event-Rule Framework for Supporting Heterogeneous Distributed Systems This proposal presents a plan for research and development of an Event-Rule framework (ERF) which comprises of a set of services and tools for supporting the development of heterogeneous distributed systems (HDS). The proposed research aims to study design alternatives, algorithms, applications, and implementation issues to accomplish the following objectives: 1) a high-level object-oriented specification model; 2) support for multiple standards 3) events and rules used as paradigm for specification f behavior of a HDS 4) a Rule-Based Intelligent Event Service (RUBIES) which provides methods for rule definition, event notification (posting) registration and rule management; and 5) an integrated development environment (IDE) with tools for specifying the structure and behavior, and for the run-time monitoring and maintenance of an HDS.
