Traffic noise is a major environmental problem in many urban areas and frequently causes complaints from urban residents. An accurate traffic noise map of urban areas can facilitate noise monitoring, traffic strategic planning, street planning, residential area planning and noise prevention or reduction. An SOA based platform for urban traffic strategic noise mapping is proposed in this paper. ...

A Semantic Web service composition system can be considered as a multi-agent system, in which each of the component service is considered as an agent capability. The article presents a multi-agent system based Semantic Web service composition approach. The proposed approach deals with some of the untouched issues and uses cognitive parameters and quality of service (QoS) parameters in servicepr...

The paper deals with the abstract planning problem – a stage of the Web Service Composition in the Planics framework. The planning task is viewed from the graph perspective, searching a graph built of vertices representing service and object types, and edges connecting service types to object types processed by each corresponding service. The preprocessing search identifies all the service and ...

One of the most challenging problems that web-service enabled e-marketplaces face is the lack of support for appropriate service request languages that retrieve and aggregate services relevant to a business problem. We present an architectural framework for web-service interaction based on planning and constraint satisfaction, and a webservice request language (WSRL) developed on the basis of t...

Accessible and efficient service are vital features of well-utilized public transit systems. Modeling approaches to support the evaluation of transit operations for management and planning are essential for continued improvement. A hybrid coverage model is developed in this paper for simultaneously expanding service access and increasing accessibility. This paper discusses the use and integrati...

This paper describes our ongoing work towards the implementation of an online Web Service Composition system, based on the most prevalent Web Service standards and utilizing other open source projects as sub-elements. The system will treat non-determinism as an inherent characteristic of the problem and will tackle it by exploiting AI planning technology, specifically contingency planning. The ...

One of the most serious challenges that web-service enabled e-marketplaces face is the lack of formal support for expressing service requests against UDDI-resident web-services in order to solve a complex business problem. In this paper we present a web-service request language (XSRL) developed on the basis of AI planning and the XML database query language XQuery. This framework is designed to...

One of the most serious challenges that web service enabled e-marketplaces face is the lack of formal support for expressing service requests against UDDI-resident web services in order to solve a complex business problem. In this paper we present a web service request language (XSRL) developed on the basis of XML and AI planning techniques and its underlying framework. This framework is design...

The ability to automatically compose services is one essential aspect of service oriented architecture. It can reduce time and cost in development and maintenance of complex services and software systems. We are developing a technique to realize this aim by combining the “planning as model checking” approach with Semantic Web Service concepts. We have modified a current planning as model checki...

This paper presents a modeling approach to determine the impact on throughput on air fleet resources on the operation of airports. The primary constraints for this analysis are i) adherence to schedules, ii) optimization of resource utilization and iii) reduction of operational costs. Any plan for an impact analysis on throughput on air fleet resources on the operation of airports has to take i...
