Cloud computing has become one of the key considerations both in academia and industry. Cheap, seemingly unlimited computing resources that can be allocated almost instantaneously and pay-as-you-go pricing schemes are some of the reasons for the success of Cloud computing. The Cloud computing landscape, however, is plagued by many issues hindering adoption. One such issue is vendor lock-in, forcing...
The best sources of critical network-based applications are operations that require ad hoc network formation, interoperability among a wide variety of node capabilities, real-time or near real-time responsiveness, high bandwidth data dissemination, quality of service, and execution of network applications that may have an impact on human life or other effect deemed critical by human society. This...
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is not only an architecture, rather it is a relationship between the service provider, broker and user. Designing middleware platforms for this architecture really helps in achieving interoperability, loose coupling and high efficiency especially for applications running in heterogeneous environments. The job of an SOA middleware is to cater for the functional properties...
The CONNECT European project that started in February 2009 aims at dropping the interoperability barrier faced by todaypsilas distributed systems. It does so by adopting a revolutionary approach to the seamless networking of digital systems, that is, synthesizing on the fly the connectors via which networked systems communicate. CONNECT then investigates formal foundations for connectors together...
Current fashion systems to interconnect large software architectures are moving toward SOA based solutions. This new paradigm for designing system can be improved, in our opinion, by using semantics. Semantics can a play a main role in boosting interoperability thanks to current technologies to express knowledge and to describe semantic Web services (SWS). This paper tackles the provision of a Software...
