In present day globalised trade, the ability to support collaboration through B2B (Business-to-Business) services is crucial. One of the key challenges is to pervasively connect partners across the entire value chain, with the appropriate service offerings. Thus, it is vital to quickly identify potential partners to form new B2B collaborations or to support formed collaborations with swift decision...
Interoperability is a collaborative and multifaceted task to overcome the problems of incompatibilities among organizations, structures, data, architecture, services, and business rules. To achieve interoperability, the aspect for interoperability and requirements for applications and services must be known. SC3 provides Ubiquitous Life Care (u-Life care) for robust healthcare services, service suggestions,...
Next generation networks, as well as the future Internet, aim to provide context-sensitive business services that adapt to changing user needs, business goals, and environmental conditions. This paper describes the composition of an autonomic element, as a fundamental part of an autonomic architecture, which uses information models and semantics to link the business services with the services provided...
Powerful and cheap computing devices are flooding the world, which arises the primary challenge for pervasive computing: how to represent devices and their functions without distracting user attention. Most existing pervasive computing platforms use traditional components and services as the answer. However, both of them have limitations. Existing services in the form of Interface are small in granularity,...
The volumes of data in information systems are growing drastically. The systems become increasingly complex in trying to handle heterogeneity of ubiquitous components, standards, data formats, etc. According to the vision of Autonomic Computing, the complexity can be handled by introducing self-manageable components able to "run themselves." Agent Technology fits this vision, whereas interoperability...
Nowadays, application systems in pervasive computing have to be self-adaptive, which means adapting themselves to dynamic environments. Our aim is to enable systematic development of self-adaptive component-based applications. The paper first introduces a novel policy based framework for self-adaptive scheme in pervasive computing. Then the proposed policy ontology and policy language are well expressive...
In pervasive computing environment, collaboration between participants and interacts between applications are key characters of pervasive computing. In order to support those collaborative activities, we propose an ontology based workflow centric collaboration system modeling method. We build the collaboration system models in different abstraction layers according to domain related degree. Based...
Statistical graphs are ubiquitous mechanisms for data visualization such that most, if not all, enterprises communicate information through them. However, many graphs are stored as unstructured images or proprietary binary objects, making them difficult to work with beyond the reports in which they are embedded. While graphs can be mapped to more common XML representations, these lack expressive semantics...
