A semantical framework for the orchestration and choreography of web services

Web Services are software services that can be advertised by providers and invoked by customers using Web technologies. This concept is currently carried further to address the composition of individual services through orchestration and choreography to services processes that communicate and interact with each other. We propose an ontology framework for these Web service processes that provides techniques for their description, matching, and composition. A description logic-based knowledge representation and reasoning framework provides the foundations. We will base this ontological framework on an operational model of service process behaviour and composition

Magpie: towards a semantic web browser

Web browsing involves two tasks: finding the right web page and then making sense of its content. So far, research has focused on supporting the task of finding web resources through ‘standard’ information retrieval mechanisms, or semantics-enhanced search. Much less attention has been paid to the second problem. In this paper we describe Magpie, a tool which supports the interpretation of web pages. Magpie offers complementary knowledge sources, which a reader can call upon to quickly gain access to any background knowledge relevant to a web resource. Magpie automatically associates an ontologybased semantic layer to web resources, allowing relevant services to be invoked within a standard web browser. Hence, Magpie may be seen as a step towards a semantic web browser. The functionality of Magpie is illustrated using examples of how it has been integrated with our lab’s web resources

Non-Repudiation In Web Services.

A web service is a set-of-.programmable functions that could be invoked protocols, and consumed through some internet The design of Web services has been plagued with security flaws. Web services invocations could be executed on the fly with the invokers remain anonymous

RootJS: Node.js Bindings for ROOT 6

We present rootJS, an interface making it possible to seamlessly integrate ROOT 6 into applications written for Node.js, the JavaScript runtime platform increasingly commonly used to create high-performance Web applications. ROOT features can be called both directly from Node.js code and by JIT-compiling C++ macros. All rootJS methods are invoked asynchronously and support callback functions, allowing non-blocking operation of Node.js applications using them. Last but not least, our bindings have been designed to platform-independent and should therefore work on all systems supporting both ROOT 6 and Node.js. Thanks to rootJS it is now possible to create ROOT-aware Web applications taking full advantage of the high performance and extensive capabilities of Node.js. Examples include platforms for the quality assurance of acquired, reconstructed or simulated data, book-keeping and e-log systems, and even Web browser-based data visualisation and analysis.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure.

CAiSE Workshops - Selection of web services for composition using location of provider hosts criterion

We present a Web service composition approach that relies on three selection criteria: execution cost, execution time, and location of provider hosts. A Web service is an accessible application that can be automatically discovered and invoked by other applications and humans. Web services can be composed into high level business-processes that users trigger in order to satisfy their needs. Because providers can have Web services in common, criteria are needed to select which Web services will be considered for composition. Location of provider hosts is among these criteria and aims for example at reducing the number of remote interactions between provider hosts

Semantic Web: An Integrated Approach for Web Service Discovery, Selection and Composition

Web services are remote methods can be invoked through open standards such as Simple Object Access Protocols. The increasing web services in the repositories makes the selection process very complex. The same can be extended in forming the composition of web services. This research focuses on the semantic web service selection and composition through design and implementation of a framework. The proposed framework is an ontology based service selection approach and the selected services are participating in the composition process. This approach deals with semantic search, which uses Quality of services for service selection and composition. The entire framework is implemented with semantic web technology and the performance of the system is observed with domain specific ontologies

Flexible learning systems : an insight into personalised learning systems

Web services are defined as accessible software programs ex- posed through an Internet interface description which enhances client to server requests and are not only easily invoked and consumed but they provide interoperability for applications through Service-Oriented Architectures. The Semantic Web, Web services and Web technologies, have so far been mostly utilised in business models and processes throughout industry. This research paper proposes to show how these emergent technologies are also being exploited for E-learning environments. Such a service applies in fact not only to businesses and the work-place but also to academic settings. The ability to make a provision for flexible, personalised and adaptable services is heavily dependent on Web technologies which need to be moulded into rich, dynamic and active environments based on individual user needs and requirements. The paper aims to highlight ongoing projects in this area offering a brief description of their findings and achievements as well as identify future trends in the areas of flexible learning systems.peer-reviewe

Cardinality heterogeneities in Web service composition: Issues and solutions

Data exchanges between Web services engaged in a composition raise several heterogeneities. In this paper, we address the problem of data cardinality heterogeneity in a composition. Firstly, we build a theoretical framework to describe different aspects of Web services that relate to data cardinality, and secondly, we solve this problem by developing a solution for cardinality mediation based on constraint logic programming
