The paper presents an adaptive and responsive service framework that integrates context aware techniques with an open source service oriented platform OSGi. The adoption of context aware techniques will allow the proposed service framework to dynamically and effectively manage services resources in response to in-bound tasks identified by the framework. The core services (i.e system services) of the...
We examine an attempt to implement a joint IT infrastructure between a large multi-national high-technology manufacturing firm and a large mining firm. We identify several occasions where innovation failed and the manufacturing firm could not establish a new network of partnerships with their customers enabled by the introduced IT capabilities. Our study highlights a change in the forms of materiality...
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is for flexibility and reuse, and enables organizations to easily integrate systems, data, applications and processes through the linking of services. SOA also addresses the critical security and privacy issues. This paper focuses on the investigation and studies on SOA based software engineering methods in the service engineering environment. Among the various...
We present the personal cloud platform (PCP) for the management of service clouds providing the user with a unified environment for handling her/his activities and collaborations. Within a personal cloud, the PCP enables the definition of global collaboration groups and a holistic management of the workspace awareness, concerning all the integrated services. Moreover, being based on an open architecture,...
While the traditional model driven development techniques are useful for building solutions in a reusable manner, they do not say much about how the existing assets in a client environment can be leveraged effectively and efficiently. In this work, we enhance model driven transformation techniques to generate implementation artifacts on a given platform from platform independent models while leveraging...
Service oriented architectures (SOAs) based on Web services have attracted a great interest and IT investments during the last years, principally in the context of business-to-business integration within corporate Intranets. However, they are nowadays evolving to break through enterprise boundaries, in a revolutionary attempt to make the approach pervasive, leading to what we call the ubiquitous SOA,...
As computers become more pervasive, they become more personal. The ultimate pervasive computer would be as unique as the individual it serves. Unfortunately, consumer products are typically closed to protect the manufacturer's intellectual property - a policy choice that hampers user's ability to customize products to fit their unique environments. The chumby is a pervasive computing device and novel...
Enterprise resource-planning (ERP) systems, relational databases, and other mature information technologies are undergoing commoditization and facing challenges from software-as-a-service (SaaS) players moving into front-end enterprise applications. Yet, such systems are likely to be around for a long time because they are reliable and have lengthy life cycles. That said, investing in disruptive markets...
