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

Technology adoption review for ageing well: analysis of technical solutions

While several technological solutions are available for older adults to improve their wellbeing and quality of life, little is known about the gaps between the needs, provided solutions, and their adoption from a more pragmatic perspective. This paper reports on reviewing existing technological solutions for older adults, which span the work life, life in the community, and wellbeing at home. We analyzed 50 different solutions to uncover both negative and positive features of these solutions from the perspective of the impact of technology adoption on the quality of life of older adults. Our approach harnesses holistic reasoning to determine the most suitable technologies available today and provides suggestions for improvement toward designing and implementing better solutions

On temporal cardinality in the context of the TOWL language

The TOWL language is a temporal ontology language built on top of OWL-DL that enables descriptions involving time and temporal aspects such as change and state transitions. Extending OWL-DL into a temporal context does not only relate to providing the adequate expressiveness for such a goal, but also ensuring that static concepts preserve their meaning in a temporal environment. One such concept relates to cardinality. In this paper, we discuss temporal cardinality in the context of the TOWL language, and provide a possible approach towards representing temporal cardinality in this context
