The Internet of Things (IoT) includes billions of things, i.e., connected objects and devices that are heterogeneous, distributed, and possibly intelligent and run applications and services from the Internet of Services (IoS). Things span, for instance, RFID tags, sensors, computers, plants, lamps, autonomous robots, and self-driving vehicles. Often, things are connected through heterogeneous platforms...
Web services are the key technologies for the web applications developed using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). There are many challenges involved in implementing web services. Some of them are web service selection and discovery which involves matchmaking and finding the most suitable web service from a large collection of functionally-equivalent web services. In this paper a fuzzy-based approach...
A low-cost intelligent mobile phone-based wireless video surveillance solution using moving object recognition technology is proposed in this paper. The proposed solution can be applied not only to various security systems, but also to environmental surveillance. Firstly, the basic principle of moving object detecting is given. Limited by the memory consuming and computing capacity of a mobile phone,...
Like RM-ODP [1], enterprise architecture (or EA for short) has its own perspectives as a basic construct for its architecture definition to represent areas of concern. In this paper, difference between RM-ODP and one concrete example EA, and applicability of Use of UML for ODP system specifications [2] (or UML4ODP in short) standard to the example EA, are discussed. Several additional diagrams that...
This is an introduction to the proceedings of the MWS 2007 workshop held at EDOC 2007. It first explains the motivation for and background of the workshop. Then, it contains a short description of the keynote, each long and short peer-reviewed paper, and the discussion session "impact of various execution environments on middleware for web services". After the closing statements, MWS 2007...
Information privacy is usually concerned with the confidentiality of personally identifiable information (PII), such as electronic medical records. Nowadays, Web services are used to support different applications which may contain PII, such as healthcare applications. Thus, the information access control mechanism for Web services must be embedded into privacy-enhancing technologies. Further as application...
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...
Many Web services are expected to run with high degree of security and dependability. To achieve this goal, it is essential to use a Web-services compatible framework that tolerates not only crash faults, but Byzantine faults as well, due to the untrusted communication environment in which the Web services operate. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of such a framework, called...
Requirements modeling has been recently introduced in the UML world with the form of a new profile called SysML. This paper explores the possibility to link concepts used to describe requirements with those of the enterprise language of RM-ODP. Some correspondence rules are proposed and illustrated on a case study.
We developed a quality of service (QoS) management system to support service level management (SLM) for global enterprise services. The QoS management system is integrated with one of our enterprise services in a preproduction system, an identical system as the production system but in a test environment. Lab experiments showed that our integrated solution helps global enterprise services to better...
