Web service is a popular solution to integrate components when building a software system, or to allow communication between a system and third-party users, providing a flexible and reusable mechanism to access its functionalities. Various web service based systems are prevailing in health service provision. We propose a framework of construction, searching and protection of typed health resources...
Existing JPEG2000 2D-DWT architectures all fail to achieve a higher system throughput because they do not exploit the parallelisms fully. In this paper, a high throughput 2D-DWT encoding system is proposed firstly. It exploits three parallelisms of the 2D-DWT algorithm to achieve 1.7 times system throughput over the fastest existing design. For a one-level N times N 2D-DWT, it takes only N2/4 + N...
Distributed software systems are characterized by increasing autonomy. They often have the capability to sense the environment and react to it, discover the presence of other systems and take advantage of their services, adapt and re-configure themselves in accordance with the internal as well as the global state. Testing this kind of systems is challenging, and systematic and automated approaches...
Choosing the right test cases is an important task in software development due to high costs of software testing as well as the significance of software failures. Therefore, evaluating the quality of test techniques and test suites may help improving test results. Benchmarking has been successfully applied to various domains such as database performance. However, the difficulty in benchmarking test...
This paper provides an overview of work being done in the EntryPoint project, which is examining the first course work in computing degrees. A key goal of this project is to move away from the traditional CS1/CS2 programming courses as the start of a computing degree. In addition, the project team is looking at how these ideas might be extended to BSSE degree programs. As such, this paper will discuss...
The UNICORE grid system provides a seamless, secure and intuitive access to distributed grid resources. In recent years, UNICORE 5 is used as a well-tested grid middleware system in production grids (e.g. DEISA, D-Grid) and at many supercomputer centers world-wide. Beyond this production usage, UNICORE serves as a solid basis in many European and International research projects and business scenarios...
