A fuzzy Logic System (FLS) has the unique potential of intelligent decision-making capability with the input data, which are imprecise and unpredictable but can be expressed using linguistic rules. However, such FLS strongly depends on the hardware ...

Fuzzy logic system (FLS) based applications in Ambient Intelligence (AmI) have exhibited their capabilities in realizing intelligent environments. FLS deployment is usually associated with non-scalable hardware and software platforms. For intensive ...

Crowdsourcing process management involves a complex workflow that needs to coordinate humans, machines and other resources. Most existing crowdsourcing platforms do not provide full-fledged process management, which affects the productivity of ...

Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical devices which are accessible through the Internet. All the devices are assigned with an IP address and are competent enough to collect data and provide some services. The installed technology and ...

The Web is based on numerous standards that together make up the surface of the Web: By knowing and supporting those standards, problems can be solved in well-known ways. This general design pattern on the Web applies to APIs in the very same way as it ...

Holistic modelling of a data center to include both thermodynamics and computational processes has the potential to revolutionize how data centers are designed and managed. Such a model is inherently multi-disciplinary, bringing together the ...

The analysis and continuous improvement of business processes (BPs) has a strategic relevance for those enterprises that strongly rely on the performance of their operational processes to deliver services and/or goods to customers. The adoption of ...

With Vehicular mobile communication becoming an everyday requirement and an ever increasing number of services available, it is clear that vehicular networks require more efficient management. In this paper we discuss service orientation as an ...

In the past years the progress on the mobile market has made possible an advancement in terms of telemedicine systems and definition of systems for monitoring chronic illnesses. The distribution of mobile devices in developed countries is increasing. ...

Service composition uses existing service-based applications as components to achieve a business goal. The composite service operates in a highly dynamic environment; hence, it can fail at any time due to the failure of component services. Service ...

This paper builds on SASSY, a system for automatically generating SOA software architectures that optimize a given utility function of multiple QoS metrics. In SASSY, SOA software systems are automatically re-architected when services fail or degrade. ...

Software solution providers face numerous pitfalls when using standardized SOA-based solutions. One cause is variability between customer organizations—for example, variability occurs in local e-government because of municipalities’ autonomy when it ...

We live in a society of information. Timely and accurately sharing of information among people can make our life convenient and comfortable. The Internet makes this come true. What's more, Web 2.0 technology takes the information development to a new ...

In this paper, we describe the euTV system, which provides a flexible approach to collect, manage, annotate and publish collections of images, videos and textual documents. The system is based on a Service Oriented Architecture that allows to combine ...

Runtime testing cost caused by service invocations is considered as one of the major limitations in Service-centric System Testing (ScST). Unfortunately, most of the existing work cannot achieve cost reduction at runtime as they perform offline testing. ...

As multi-source, component based platforms are becoming widespread both for constrained devices and cloud computing, the need for automatic logging framework is increasing. Indeed, components from untrusted and possibly competing vendors are being ...

E-Government Platforms have become a key tool to support the development of e-government in many countries. They usually provide infrastructure and services that facilitate the interconnection between the information systems of public agencies, provide ...

The Digital Home (DH) is emerging as a distributed platform hosting services for the end user. This promising home environment depends on availability of numerous value-added services for the DH. Therefore DH implies to fullfil several requirements. (i) ...

Dynamic runtime adaptations are a key feature for long-running applications. One of the most used languages for writing this kind of applications is Java, due to its reflection features, popularity and dynamism. However, as dynamic scripting languages (...

This tutorial explains how to implement a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) for reliable systems using Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) technologies. The first half of the tutorial describes terms of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) including service, ...
