Web-based information sources have evolved to an essential element in our daily and professional life. To process this faster and faster growing amount of information, web portals provide personalized access to specific information and communication services. In this paper, an example from urban planning is given. In this workflow, different actors are interacting in an ad-hoc manner. Therefore...

In this work we propose an innovative approach to data mining problem. We propose very flexible data mining system based on serviceoriented architecture. Developing applications according to SOA paradigm emerges from the rapid development of the new technology direct known as sustainability science. Each of data mining functionalities is delivered by the execution of the proper Web service. The...

Enterprise architecture is gaining acceptance as an approach to manage change and foster IT/business alignment by (1) propagating strategy and process changes to the software and infrastructure level, by (2) supporting consistent business transformation enabled by technology innovations, and by (3) decoupling business-oriented and technology-oriented architectures. Due to constant change in bus...

abstract Real-time location applications are mainly desktop based and costly for development and maintenance. In this project we worked on a Web service based architecture for monitoring and driving real-time analysis of fire truck missions. We used Web 2.0 technologies on the client side and SAP NetWeaver enterprise service oriented platform on the server side.

Recent developments in IT industry lead to the notion of a Service, as an abstraction for an encapsulated business activity, hidden behind a well-defined interface. This abstraction fosters the view of complex business activities, as interactions between Services, allowing for an agile business activity modification.

service oriented architecture (soa) technology enables composition of large and complex computational units out of the available atomic services. implementation of soa brings about challenges which include service discovery, service interaction, service composition, robustness, quality of service, security, etc. these challenges are mainly due to the dynamic nature of soa. soamay often need to ...

Service-oriented architectures have brought significant progress for more flexible realization of business processes integrating functionality from heterogeneous sources. While more and more businesses adopt the new technology it becomes obvious that many questions are still not addressed to make it keep its promises, especially in the area of human efforts involved in business process composit...

The concept of service is comprehensible in various domains and it can be used for integrated modeling of business process and business data. Service-oriented modeling approach, which is presented in this paper, is based on a single type of diagram. It helps to reason about semantic integrity of different modeling dimensions across organizational and technical system boundaries. A well-known ca...
