Measuring triggering-interactions complexity on active databases based on conditional colored petri nets
L. Chavarria, J. Medina Marin, Xiaoou Li · 2005
Triggering interactions between active rules of an active database system can be modeled by conditional colored Petri nets (CCPN). This paper proposes three different metrics for measuring trigger complexity based on CCPN, These metrics are triggering potential, the number of anchors and the distance. These measures are characterized above the level of the ordinal scale using the measurement theory. Validation of the proposed metrics has been conducted through comparisons with a fundamental work of the area.
