diversity, accessibility and reliability are the three main factors governing the adoption of information sources by farmers in rural areas. based on the research hypothesis, the existing knowledge and information delivery system in the agricultural sector, functions far below the ever changing nature and tangible needs of existing farming systems. the main objective in this study is to determi...

This paper describes a semantic extension to the Mathematical Services Query Language (MSQL). MSQL is a language for querying registry-published mathematical Web service descriptions expressed in the Mathematical Services Description Language (MSDL). The semantic extension allows queries in MSQL to be based on the underlying semantics of service descriptions; the MSQL engine processes these que...

In order to fully exploit the potential of dynamic service-oriented architectures based on Web Services we provide a novel self-integration service infrastructure that supports automatic service discovery and reconfiguration for BPEL4WS processes. Our service discovery approach takes into account possible runtime transformations such that a service in a BPEL4WS process can be replaced by a sema...
