Achieving Web services composition – A Survey

Abstract Web Services composition development is too complex and dynamic. Software engineering approach is adopted to develop composite service systematically. Co mposition development process involves modelling, discovering & binding, publishing and invoking a co mposite service. Th is paper aims to make the co mposition development process clear by classifying the literature on web services composition into the phases of composition development process. As a result of this, the definit ion, requirements, approaches, techniques and evaluation of an end-to-end web services co mposition development process is made clear. The current research area which requires a lot of attention is identified and discussed at the end to further extend the topic

Towards intelligent distributed computing : cell-oriented computing

Distributed computing systems are of huge importance in a number of recently established and future functions in computer science. For example, they are vital to banking applications, communication of electronic systems, air traffic control, manufacturing automation, biomedical operation works, space monitoring systems and robotics information systems. As the nature of computing comes to be increasingly directed towards intelligence and autonomy, intelligent computations will be the key for all future applications. Intelligent distributed computing will become the base for the growth of an innovative generation of intelligent distributed systems. Nowadays, research centres require the development of architectures of intelligent and collaborated systems; these systems must be capable of solving problems by themselves to save processing time and reduce costs. Building an intelligent style of distributed computing that controls the whole distributed system requires communications that must be based on a completely consistent system. The model of the ideal system to be adopted in building an intelligent distributed computing structure is the human body system, specifically the body’s cells. As an artificial and virtual simulation of the high degree of intelligence that controls the body’s cells, this chapter proposes a Cell-Oriented Computing model as a solution to accomplish the desired Intelligent Distributed Computing system
