ELISE: Office Procedures Automation Tool By State-Transition Model

概要

論文の詳細を見る
ELISE (Electronic Intelligent Secretary System) is an experimental system to automate office procedures. The basic premise of the system is that office procedures can be expressed as a set of state-transition models, which specifies how an object is to be processed at an event's occurrence, the choice among alternative processings being dependent upon the state of the object. Office procedures are stored in a relational data base as four types of relations. The presented relational structure for storing the office procedure facilitates the consistency check of the office procedures as well as its retrieval, addition, editing, and deletion. ELISE consists of six components: event monitor, procedure monitor, dispatcher, state manager, observer, and procedure manager. These components cooperate with each other to obtain, store, and execute procedures for automatic execution of office work. The presented architecture allows the system and the user to cooperate for carrying the object from its initial state to the final state. This paper describes the representation of office procedures, and the role and function of each component, together with an example of application.
