Today's Enterprises are facing many challenges in the service oriented, customer experience centric and customer demand driven global environment where ICT is becoming the leading enabler and partner of the modern enterprise. In the last decade, many enterprises have invested heavily in SOA-aligned IT transformations, but not harvested what SOA promised to provide. Now the API and Microservice paradigm...
This paper presents how the reference architecture of the ITEA2 project Building as a Service (BaaS) could be applied on different classes of devices to show its flexibility and suitability for the heterogeneous environment of building automation systems. For this purpose technologies are identified and discussed that could be used for the implementation. The approach of the reference architecture...
Currently, gamification is a new trend under which all activities are subsumed that try to introduce game mechanics into non-gaming applications in order to increase user engagement, motivation, and participation. This approach is especially promising in the enterprise domain since enterprise information systems (EIS) mainly focus on efficiency aspects rather than individual long-term motivation and...
The Internet can not keep up with changing application requirements and new network technologies as its network architecture makes it hard to introduce new functionality because existing functionalities in the Architecture are inherently tightly coupled. This article describes how the principles of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) can help to develop more flexible network architecture. We argue...
The increasing density of the electronic devices in everyday activities is turning system interoperability into an emerging research scenario with a clear impact on life quality. Interoperability architectures try to overcome the complexity related to the heterogeneous procedures, interfaces and access protocols required to operate devices by providing users a single control point on their electronic...
Recent research suggests that companies are exploiting the agile and innovative potential of SOA, but are regarding it as a technical issue. In this article we present and discuss a very successful SOA implementation. We conducted an in-depth case study at an international airline company. Analyzing the relationship between service oriented architecture and the development of new business services...
Present Internet protocol was developed long way back with the intention to provide simple end-to-end network functionalities for network applications of 1980's. Since then many times network and its related applications were reformed over technological advancement. To support new applications more and more protocols were created as patches which resulted in IP bloat. As a result of this Internet...
The emerging research to develop new architecture for next generation networks have made us think about the security incorporates "inside" the network architecture during the evolution phase. The aim is to provide better services to the user in a secured fashion. In this paper we describe three different security level approaches namely Micro level security, Medium level security and Macro...
This paper addresses the challenges of large commercial and government that struggle with requirements understanding, increasing delivery quality and estimating costs. The paper discusses Smarter Architecture & Engineering (SmarterAE) as an approach that applies scrutiny, metrics and analysis to architecture, requirements management and engineering as is historically given to development, testing...
Security has become the key issue in the development of large-scale information system. Piling security products and security technologies simply rather than functional integration and making full use of these products and technologies will cause resource wasting, and not meet the needs for flexible and diverse security requirements. This paper proposes a security architecture design based on SOA...
Along with more than 30 years' development, the current Internet architecture is facing more serious technical challenges, and many countries around the world have started relevant researches on future Internet. In this paper we first analyze the main drawbacks of the existing Internet architecture, and then introduce the future development tendency of communication networks. Considering the theoretical...
This paper provides a model for internet of things (IoT) establishment. Today and for the coming decades we see rising interest in interconnecting ‘Things’ as we did in the past two decades when we interconnected PCs and servers to build the called Internet. Smart things interconnection is more general and complex due to different challenges: heterogeneity of devices, diversity of protocols, variety...
A variety of mission critical applications need to continue to operate or provide a minimal level of services even when they are under attack or have been partially compromised; hence the need for intrusion tolerant architecture. The research focus of Intrusion Tolerant Architecture is on how to detect as many attacks as possible, as soon as we can, and at the same time to reduce the false alarm rate...
In the cloud computing era, internet resources are becoming ample and abundant; hence the rising gap between remote application users and the virtualization resources. Considerable efforts have been invested in distributed file system and web caching with different optimizing strategies to shrink and ultimately eliminate the gap, but few existing studies have combined the two together to enhance the...
In recent years, web technologies as well as XML have gained broad application throughout the industry. Web services have become increasingly important for network application solutions since the business processes are no longer constrained by company-related boundaries by the use of web services. In order to avoid the considerable mass of repeated time consuming hand coding at low-level, a SQL-based...
The paradigm of service orientation is heavily used to design complex IT systems able to satisfy the need for an agile business support. Many enterprises have established service-oriented architectures (SOAs) of different size and complexity. However, such SOAs need efficient management and the discipline of enterprise architecture management has only just begun to reflect the shift from application...
While many research projects in the world have been addressing challenges posed by digital preservation, digital libraries in China have their own native problems that have never been addressed before. Similar problems may occur in other countries, and their memory institutions may be less prepared to handle them. Quite often, information in the native special digital objects is also unique in world...
Significant requirements for a large digital preservation system are the system scalability, its ability to store and service heterogeneous digital holdings, and the evolvability over time of both the technologies comprising the system and the data formats in its storage. The use of information technology by the government, business corporations, academic institutions, and the general public results...
The main concerns of Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) are making applications work together and reducing their complexity. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been presented as an architectural design style and principles which can better align IT initiatives with business requirements. An SOA based Enterprise Application Integration approach is proposed in this paper. Using SOA methods...
In this paper, we study legacy asset reuse for SOA design. Typically, the cost of reusing legacy assets is much lower than the cost of creating new services from scratch. As an extension of our SOA service modeling, we use top-down approaches to identify business services, and use asset modeling for legacy asset identification to find potential reusable assets for those services. Using service capacity...
