The rise of the Internet of Things and the InstrumentedLifestyle has continued to push the boundaries of howwe can provide health care support people throughouttheir lives. These new technologies require an InformationTechnology based approach to deploying and understandinghealth care delivery in Healthy Aging. To achieve resultsin this specialized Healthcare IT field, a blend of clinicalconcepts,...
Currently new technology approaches are changing the world in terms of how the people can feel or sense what is happening the whole the time. As regard of this and focusing on the transportation sector, the inhabitants of whatever country wish to know what is happening on the highways, even when they are travelling, in order to be able to take decisions in their routing and timing. There are several...
For the distributed high performance computing infrastructure, there is a service oriented trend with hybrid physical clusters and virtual clusters. Application software can be service-enabled on the basis of underlying hardware resources. To enable on-demand service for end users, monitoring of software services is important in the service oriented hybrid computing environment. In this paper, an...
In this paper, we describe the development of a generalized metric for computing response time of a web service. Such a generalized metric would help to develop consensus with regards to the meanings of contracted Quality of Service (QoS) parameters; this also avoids the confusion that may arise when the same QoS parameter is understood differently by both the service provider and the consumer (e...
In real world Service Oriented Software Systems, changes to web services infrastructure are not an exception but a rule. Timely detection and a fast reaction to handle these changes are important to reduce the impact. This paper proposes an agent based framework to manage the situation when third party web services become unavailable. It uses the concept of mobile agents to monitor web services on...
In Web service composition, operating environment information and user requirement information change constantly. To better adapt these dynamic changes, this paper provides adaptive mechanism of service composition. An adaptive Web service composition framework is presented. The main function modules of this framework including Execution Engine, Monitor, Analyzer and Planner are implemented using...
Internet of Things (IoT) is about making "things" smart in some functionality, and connecting and enabling them to perform complex tasks by themselves. The functionality can be encapsulated as services and the task executed by composing the services. IoT services have monitoring and actuation capabalities, and therefore their executions may be continuous and involve triggering. These characteristics...
Currently available business process monitoring solutions usually rely on applications' business logic, which hampers the separation between the business logic and the business rules. Existing solutions address the issue from only the modeling perspective at design-time. However, modern business process systems are required to be adaptive to the constant changes of the business rules at runtime. In...
Monitoring composition of web services is important to ensure provisioning of a valid business process. Most of the existing works on service monitoring focused either on QoS violations or service interactions during execution of services that are statically composed. However, dynamic composition of services wherein the services are discovered and composed at runtime based on user requirements and...
As data has been increasing explosively due to development of social networks and cloud computing, there has been a new challenge for storing, processing, and analyzing a large volume of data. The traditional technologies do not become a proper solution to process big data so that a big data platform has begun to emerge. It is certain that big data platform helps users develop analysis service effectively...
In the region of the Vale because of its natural relief, flood is recorded along the basin of the Itajai River since 1850. Floods are natural phenomena that are often devastating bringing great damage to man and nature. Flee the human capacity, to prevent such phenomena occur. However, it is possible to develop preventive measures to minimize these impacts. Basically there are two types of preventive...
In this paper is proposed an architecture of a Reflective Middleware, which aims to manage an Intelligent Environment of Learning based in cloud learning, which is modeled using a Multiagent system. The Middleware is able to monitor the environment consisting of physical and virtual objects, intelligent or not, based on the context. The middleware manages educational services in the cloud to enhance...
Smart homes provide automatic services through a combination of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and wireless devices that allow monitoring operations in the home. These smart homes have been increasingly studied not only by the academic community but also by industry on account of the great potential they have, especially in applications that can help people with some type of physical disability such...
This paper presents a model for integrating an advanced process control library in a cloud-based environment. The aim is to lower the development times, to reduce maintenance effort and decrease the complexity of process control applications by adopting a modular approach consisting of generic, reusable control strategies following an IEC 61499 representation. The solution uses open cloud technologies...
This article presents the results of the design, implementation and validation of a system for remote measurement of Radio Spectrum for stations fixed monitoring composed for the equipments measurement vector network analyzer ZVL6 spectrum analyzer mode and the NBM550 broadband field meter. The solution is an Information and communications technology - ICT service because it involves not only measuring...
Web services composition consists of combining web services features in order to respond to complex requests. Giving the large and exponentially growing number of web services offering similar features, services selection should be QoS-driven. Besides, the composition should also support and adapt to dynamic changes occurring during the composite service execution. In this context, this paper proposes...
In recent years, there has been an increase in the desire by citizens to participate in public decision-making. This has led to the emergence of numerous participatory processes across the world. A participatory process may be described as a set of participatory common tasks satisfying certain constraints. The design of such processes may become a complex task for inexperienced individuals. We develop...
Developing of Future Internet creates opportunities for new applications to adopt the use of the internet. Many initiatives like FI-WARE and FI-STAR are working on promoting and supporting the use of Future Internet efficiently in different fields. Health care applications introduce some issues in using Future Internet, So more effort is needed to overcome these barriers. Developing health care applications...
The people who use inner city public transportation vehicles want to get information about the current status of the public transportation vehicles and they want to know the travel time of the vehicles both while travelling and waiting at the bus stops. In this study, a smart bus stop-passenger information system was developed in order to enable administers effectively monitor the public transportation...
A hand held wireless portable electronic nose (e-nose) has been developed for general purpose applications. It is based on non-specific micromechanized semiconductor sensors. It has been applied to the real time detection of two common aromatic defects in beer: acetaldehyde and ethyl acetate. Several measurements are made in order to check the discrimination capability of the system in the quantitative...
