Earth System Science (ESS) research and applications often involve in collecting, analyzing and modeling with distributed heterogeneous geospatial data. Those data are processed step-by-step in geospatial analysis systems to extract information and knowledge products for applications and decision makings. Conceptually, such a step-by-step process forms a geospatial processing model that represe...

Exposing a single computation on the Internet via a web service can be challenging. To do so, the input and output of such a service needs to be codified, typically in an XML Schema, and code needs to be written to translate to and from XML. Further, computations need to be interfaced and run with their results formulated into XML. To complicate matters further, there is the whole process of pa...

In general, Policy-based approaches play an important role in the management of web services, for instance, in the choice of semantic web service and quality of services (QoS) in particular. The present research work illustrates a procedure for the web service selection among functionality similar web services based on WS-Policy semantic matching. In this study, the procedure of WS-Policy publi...

The rising popularity of Mobile Computing creates new methods for accessing Web content. At the same time Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed is another new trend of constantly updating Web documents that are available on the Internet. The questions arises how to most efficiently access such new type of Web content from mobile devices. This study compares the performance of the .NET Compact Fr...

This paper presents a SOAP request scheduling algorithm for differentiated quality of service. The scheduling algorithm can be deployed on a Web services server or any server that processes SOAP requests. Due to the resource-intensive security processing of SOAP messages, this research implements the scheduling algorithm on a QoS security server. The security server schedules the requests forwa...

The thermal degradation of model polystyrene (MPS) and waste (WPS) was performed in a thermobalance system at four heating rates (β) i.e., 5, 10, 15 20 °C/min an inert atmosphere. apparent activation energy (Ea) frequency factor (A) for the MPS WPS were calculated using Ozawa-Flynn-Wall (OFW), Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS), Augis-Bennetis (AB) methods. It has been determined that Ea A vary acc...

This paper presents a robust linguistic Web service framework for Polish, combining several mature offline linguistic tools in a common online platform. The toolset comprise paragraph-, sentenceand token-level segmenter, morphological analyser, disambiguating tagger, shallow and deep parser, named entity recognizer and coreference resolver. Uniform access to processing results is provided by me...
