Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - During task composition, such as can be found indistributed query processing, workflow systems and AIplanning, decisions have to be made by the system andpossibly by users with respect to how a given problemshould be solved. Although there is often more thanone correct way of solving a given problem, thesemultiple solutions do not necessarily lead to thesame result. Some researchers are addressing thisproblem by providing data provenance information.Others use expert advice encoded in a supportingknowledge-base. However, users do not usually trustcomplete automation during decision-making forcertain domains with natural variation, like biology;they need a way to be able to control and/orintervene with the system's reasoning to verify partsof the process. This book provides a thoroughanalysis of the problem and presents a data-centricmethodology of measuring decision criticality anddescribe its potential use. We argue that agenttechnology is a natural fit for the design ofdistributed heterogeneous integration systems,particularly in bioinformatics, and we propose amulti-agent system design and architecture as thebasis of our framework.
