Web Service is one of the most important information sharing technologies on the web and one of the example of service oriented processing. To guarantee accurate execution of web services operations, they must be accountable with regulations of the social networks in which they sign up. This operations implement using controls called “Commitment”. This paper studies commitments , then has an ov...

In this paper, our work is mainly focused on to discover the semantic web services efficiently and also for making the use of semantic web service easier. Semantic Web Service is a revolutionary technology which is growing popularly, due to the increased level of machine understandability. One of the major open problem of semantic web service discovery is approximated matching. We propose seman...

We develop an active embedded middleware framework, called the EUWS (Embedded Ubiquitous Web Service), in WinCE.NET. The EUWS seamlessly integrates home network services and the Web Services on the Internet and provides a management framework for ubiquitous web services. As the initial stage of our project, our current focus has been on designing and implementing a prototype of the EUWS in WinC...

We review some recent endeavors and add some new results to characterize and understand underlying mechanisms in Wikipedia (WP), the paradigmatic example of collaborative value production. We analyzed the statistics of editorial activity in different languages and observe typical circadian and weekly patterns, which enabled us to estimate the geographical origins of contributions to WPs in lang...

This article has the main objective to introduce the web platform SEREDONA. This platform aims to suit the needs of users who want to georeference historical data, in providing tools to integrate easily historical geographic vector data into current georeferenced frameworks. SEREDONA has been built around the main idea that the georeferencing process of historical data is maybe not necessarily ...

Web services are published by the service providers through the internet as independent software components by fulfilling the requirements of the customer requests. As the customer requests are not always satisfied by a single service, the methods of services composition were evolved in which a chain of services are composed together. However the longer search time for the discovery of composed...

Integrating Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) services with Geo-Processing Workflows (GPW) has become a bottleneck for Sensor Web-based applications, especially remote-sensing observations. This paper presents a common GPW framework for Sensor Web data service as part of the NASA Sensor Web project. This abstract framework includes abstract GPW model construction, GPW chains from service combination,...

The OGC Web Processing Service specification provides a means to perform web-based processes on distributed geodata and to produce thereby web-based geoinformation. However a client which integrates different data and geo-processing services is missing but would enable fully web-based information integration. This was the starting point for this study to build a client, which is able to integra...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prescribing patterns of general practitioners (GPs), obstetrician/gynecologists (OB/GYNs), and wellness physicians (WPs) of menopausal hormone therapy (HT) for both compounded (CHT) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved products, using a survey of US physicians. METHODS Nine thousand one US physicians were invited to participate in a survey to report on th...

There is a need for transactional processing in the Web service world. Software industry responded to this need by publishing a couple of Web service transaction proposals that are quite alike. However, these proposals define basically only communication protocols that indirectly implement advanced transaction models. The proposals lack accurate usage suggestions and the rather obvious question...
