High schools have rapidly adapted computers in their administration, management and academy. School management uses papers and computers as tools to store the administrative and management data. However computers are not used to analyze data and output information. Therefore, e-School Management System (e-SMS) is developed to facilitate teaching and administration staffs to manage school activities...
Web services are increasingly used to integrate and build business application on the internet. Failure of web services is not acceptable in many situations such as online banking, so fault tolerance is a key challenge of web services. Web service architecture still lacks facilities to support fault tolerance. This paper proposes a fault tolerant architecture for web services by increasing the reliability...
Web service selection is an indispensable process for web service composition as to select best web service to a client's requirement. As many web services are increased in the internet for similar functionality, which service will be the best for the client requirement is an elusive task for web service operators. In this paper, we have proposed a web service selection model used to select best web...
Cloud computing is the next stage in evolution of the internet, which provides large amount of computing and storage to customers provisioned as a service over the internet. However, cloud computing facing so many security challenges due to the possible compromise or byzantine failures. In this paper, we focus on Ensuring data storage security in cloud computing, which is an important aspect of Quality...
The main objective of this paper is to present an XML-based data representation model for the exchange of power system reliability information among the power system community. Legacy power system applications represent power system data as IEEE common data format, industry standard Common Information Model (CIM) and the huge number of proprietary formats that makes it difficult to exchange the system...
The idea of the future Internet of Services is to combine several services of numerous service providers to new value-added services or applications. To sell these services on so-called service marketplaces the providers have to ensure both a high quality and a high quality reliability. But how could a provider of a composed service know the quality-reliability of his service without costly tests?...
Recently, more and more enterprises with large EIS systems have increasing business demands on enhancing the system's scalabilities and service abilities. They may want to reuse the existing business logic code deployed in the legacy systems, e.g. core banking systems, in the newly developing systems to meet the new business requirements. Therefore, a big challenge lies on that how to integrate these...
The spectacular growth of the Internet in general and the World Wide Web (WWW) in particular, has created a new set of opportunities and challenges confronting corporate management and reporting. These developments emphasize the need for continuous online monitoring of transactions. Continuous online assurance will achieve this need. Continuous online assurance is viewed here as a type of assurance...
Trust is generally based on the level and quality of interaction with the entity being trusted. In a web service or the Internet, trust is based on the level of successful and unsuccessful interactions. Successful interactions are used to model trust within the context of chains of trust in which an agent is permitted to recommend a service. This is termed trust chain since the agent need to first...
User considerations are the major factor for the proliferation and increased acceptance of mobile commerce applications. Therefore, mobile service quality is influenced by the service provider's awareness and readiness to fulfill user expectations. This paper suggests an approach for assessing the qualitative parameters that characterize electronic services provided through mobile devices. It is based...
As a rapidly emerging technology, Web services offer a brand-new mechanism for program-to-program interactions over the Internet. Inevitably, this programming pattern brings great challenge to the improvement of the quality and reliability of Web services. In the paper, a two-level testing framework for WSBS is proposed through deeply analyzing the architecture of WSBS and black-box character of Web...
A revolution in utilities domain is underway, namely the Internet of Energy. Networked Embedded Devices (NEDs) are making the electricity grid itself, the homes and the factories smarter, increasing the possibilities of collaboration among them. It is expected that NEDs will offer their functionality as one or more services, one of which will be a real-time measurement of the energy they consume or...
Mobile Web browsing services bring the full PC browsing experience to customer's mobile handsets which have been emerged. This study is to investigate the intention to use mobile Web browsing based on technology acceptance model (TAM) which has been widely used to explain and predict the IT acceptance and incorporated with self-efficacy which was identified as an important determinant of user's new...
Nowadays, a number of web services available on the Internet have been increasing rapidly. Similarly functional services are offered by different service providers. Quality of service (QoS) has becomes an important factor to determine the most suitable service provider. Many existing QoS models use uncertain QoS attributes which vary over time and depend on service environment. The service chosen...
With the popularity of Web2.0, web has become to be a application programming platform where third parties can create new applications (mash-ups) mixing the functionality offered by others. Now this trend has extended to the domain of mobile networks. The combination of mashup and mobile networks would make the mashup more powerful and provide additional user value. This paper explores how to realize...
In the context of this paper, a meta-search third-party Web result ranking mechanism is proposed, which is capable of adapting over the continuous changes that occur on the Web, providing in parallel personalized information acquisition considering the user's navigation behaviour. The designed meta search engine service rates, re-organises and combines the results acquired from search services for...
In a service-oriented architecture (SOA), the orchestration of services to new services and complex workflows is a common approach. Because the complexity and capability of the orchestrated services are increased, it is important to maintain and ensure the dependability attributes, e.g. availability and reliability, in such an environment. Today, most approaches focus on the needs during the creation...
Service providers as we know them nowadays are the always-on static web service providers, that aim at Five9 availability (99.999%). Formal, or de-facto, standards, such as WSDL and BPEL, have become technology enablers for the easy discovery, use and coordination of such services. However, we envisage tomorrow's services to become increasingly pervasive, being deployed within buildings, transport...
Advanced in IT technologies change everyday people's life and also bring big change in the way of doing businesses and manufacture. Nowadays people faced with full of data that cannot be traced and managed by one person. Especially, digital multimedia contents are created and distributed by virtually everybody in the Internet environments. And the information that the user want usually scattered around...
