Leveraging Semantic Web Service Descriptions for Validation by Automated Functional Testing
Recent years have seen the utilisation of Semantic Web Service descriptions for automating a wide range of service-related activities, with a primary focus on service discovery, composition, execution and mediation. An important area which so far has received less attention is service validation, whereby advertised services are proven to conform to required behavioural specifications. This paper proposes a method for validation of service-oriented systems through automated functional testing. The method leverages ontology-based and rule-based descriptions of service inputs, outputs, preconditions and effects (IOPE) for constructing a stateful EFSM specification. The specification is subsequently utilised for functional testing and validation using the proven Stream X-machine (SXM) testing methodology. Complete functional test sets are generated automatically at an abstract level and are then applied to concrete Web services, using test drivers created from the Web service descriptions. The testing method comes with completeness guarantees and provides a strong method for validating the behaviour of Web services
Study of pure annihilation type decays
In this work, we calculate the rare decays and in perturbative QCD approach with Sudakov resummation.
We give the branching ratio of for , which will
be tested soon in factories.
The decay has a very small branching ratio at
, due to the suppression from CKM matrix elements . It may be sensitive to new physics contributions.Comment: 14 pages, 1 figur
Fundamental groups of open K3 surfaces, Enriques surfaces and Fano 3-folds
We investigate when the fundamental group of the smooth part of a K3 surface
or Enriques surface with Du Val singularities, is finite. As a corollary we
give an effective upper bound for the order of the fundamental group of the
smooth part of a certain Fano 3-fold. This result supports Conjecture A below,
while Conjecture A (or alternatively the rational connectedness conjecture in
[KoMiMo] which is still open when the dimension is at least 4) would imply that
every log terminal Fano variety has a finite fundamental group (now a Theorem
of S. Takayama).Comment: Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra, to appear; 24 page
Final-state interaction and s-quark helicity conservation in B -> J/psi K*
The Section of charm quark spin conservation is deleted since it involves
more dynamical assumptions than previously stated. A few comments are added in
view of new experimental results.Comment: To replace the earlier version of hep-ph/0106354. Minor additions and
one deletion with no change in the main argument nor the conclusio
Study of color suppressed modes
The color suppressed modes are
analyzed in perturbative QCD approach. We find that the dominant contribution
is from the non-factorizable diagrams. The branching ratios calculated in our
approach for agree with current experiments. By
neglecting the gluonic contribution, we predict the branching ratios of are at the comparable size of , but smaller than that of .Comment: revtex, 5 pages, axodraw.st
Perturbative SO(10) Grand Unification
We consider a phenomenologically viable SO(10) grand unification model of the
unification scale around GeV which reproduces the MSSM at low
energy and allows perturbative calculations up to the Planck scale or the
string scale . Both requirements strongly restrict a choice of Higgs
representations in a model. We propose a simple SO(10) model with a set of
Higgs representations and show its phenomenological viability. This model can indeed
reproduce the low-energy experimental data relating the charged fermion masses
and mixings. Neutrino oscillation data can be consistently incorporated in the
model, leading to the right-handed neutrino mass scale .
Furthermore, there exists a parameter region which results the proton life time
consistent with the experimental results.Comment: 14 pages, no figure, section5 was slightly modifie
Charmless two-body B decays: A global analysis with QCD factorization
In this paper, we perform a global analysis of and decays
with the QCD factorization approach. It is encouraging to observe that the
predictions of QCD factorization are in good agreement with experiment. The
best fit is around . The penguin-to-tree ratio of decays is preferred to be larger than 0.3.
We also show the confidence levels for some interesting channels: , and , . For decays, they are expected to have smaller branching ratios with
more precise measurements.Comment: 20 pages, 4 figures, version to appear in Phys. Rev.
Vector-pseudoscalar two-meson distribution amplitudes in three-body meson decays
We study three-body nonleptonic decays by introducing two-meson
distribution amplitudes for the vector-pseudoscalar pair, such that the
analysis is simplified into the one for two-body decays. The twist-2 and
twist-3 two-meson distribution amplitudes, associated with
longitudinally and transversely polarized mesons, are constrained by the
experimental data of the and branching
ratios. We then predict the and decay
spectra in the invariant mass. Since the resonant contribution in the
channel is negligible, the above decay spectra provide a clean test
for the application of two-meson distribution amplitudes to three-body
meson decays.Comment: 9 pages, 1 figure, Revtex4, version to appear in PR
