USOA-ToR is a part of the University SOA (USOA). It provides IT supported generation of a Transcript of Records. This document describes the development of the ToRService. Furthermore relevant ToR-related business processes are discussed as well as the involved core Web services are derived and designed

Development of SOA-Based Software Systems - an Evolutionary Programming Approach

A software application has strong relationships with the business processes it supports. In the analysis phase those parts of the processes in which the software system is applied by its future users are analyzed. Taking an object-oriented approach, the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is often used to model the relevant aspects of the business processes. In the design phase these models must be manually mapped to the business layer of the software application. The Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) offers a promising new approach: The business process is described in a programming language [1], i.e. a process language which can be automatically mapped to an execution language and executed by a process engine. This article shows how Programming in the Large can be practically applied in a software engineering process. The Business Process Model Notation (BPMN) is used as a process programming language. A BPMN description can be mapped to the widely accepted Business Process Execution Language (BPEL)

Programming in the Large based on the Business Process Modeling Notation

A software application is related to the processes it supports. Today, UML diagrams esp. use case diagrams and activity diagrams are often used to model the relevant aspects of the processes within the analysis phase. In the design phase the models are manually mapped to the business layer of the software application. In the context of Service-oriented Architectures (SOA) Programming in the Large takes a different approach: Business processes are described in a programming language, i.e. a process language which can be automatically mapped to an execu-tion language and executed by a process engine. In this article we show how Programming in the Large can be practically applied in a software engineering process. We use the Business Process Model Notation (BPMN) as process pro-gramming language. A BPMN description can be mapped to the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) which is a widely accepted standard to compose Web services

Sex-specific differences in plasma levels of FXII, HK, and FXIIa-C1-esterase inhibitor complexes in community-acquired pneumonia

International audienceSex-dependent differences in immunity and coagulation play an active role in the outcome of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Contact phase proteins act at the crossroads between inflammation and coagulation thus representing a point of convergence in host defense against infection. Here, we measured the levels of factor XII (FXII), FXIIa-C1 esterase inhibitor (C1INH) complexes, and high-molecular-weight kininogen (HK) in plasma of patients with CAP and correlated them to clinical disease severity. Levels of FXIIa-C1INH/albumin ratio were elevated, irrespective of sex, in plasma of patients with CAP ( n = 139) as compared with age-matched donors ( n = 58). No simultaneous decrease in FXII levels, indicating its consumption, was observed. Stratification by sex revealed augmented FXII levels in plasma of women with CAP as compared with sex-matched donors yet no apparent differences in men. This sex-specific effect was, however, attributable to lower FXII levels in female donors relative to men donors. Plasma estradiol levels mirrored those for FXII. Levels of HK/albumin ratio were decreased in CAP plasma as compared with donors, however, after stratification by sex, this difference was only observed in women and was related to higher HK/albumin values in female donors as opposed to male donors. Finally, strong negative correlation between plasma levels of HK/albumin ratio and CAP severity, as assessed by CRB65 score, in males and females was observed. Our study identifies sex-dependent differences in plasma levels of the contact phase proteins in elderly subjects that may contribute to specific clinical outcomes in CAP between men and women

Landscape simplification filters species traits and drives biotic homogenization

Biodiversity loss can affect the viability of ecosystems by decreasing the ability of communities to respond to environmental change and disturbances. Agricultural intensification is a major driver of biodiversity loss and has multiple components operating at different spatial scales: from in-field management intensity to landscape-scale simplification. Here we show that landscape-level effects dominate functional community composition and can even buffer the effects of in-field management intensification on functional homogenization, and that animal communities in real-world managed landscapes show a unified response (across orders and guilds) to both landscape-scale simplification and in-field intensification. Adults and larvae with specialized feeding habits, species with shorter activity periods and relatively small body sizes are selected against in simplified landscapes with intense in-field management. Our results demonstrate that the diversity of land cover types at the landscape scale is critical for maintaining communities, which are functionally diverse, even in landscapes where in-field management intensity is high
