This document describes how the authors developed a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)-based NETCONF (Network Configuration Protocol) client and server. It describes an alternative SOAP binding for NETCONF that does not interoperate with an RFC 4743 conformant implementation making use of cookies on top of the persistent transport connections of HTTP. When SOAP is used as a transport protocol...

We investigate the statistical properties of two-dimensional random cellular systems ~froths! in terms of their shell structure. The froth is analyzed as a system of concentric layers of cells around a given central cell. We derive exact analytical relations for the topological properties of the sets of cells belonging to these layers. Experimental observations of the shell structure of two-dim...

By introducing Web Services, distributed GIS(Geospatial Information System) services from different vendors can be dynamically integrated into a GIS application using the interoperable standard SOAP(Simple Object Access Protocol). However, it is debatable whether SOAP can really meet the performance requirement of GIS. Additionally, GIS Web Services’ performance may be improved by using asynchr...

Environmental surfaces contaminated with pathogens can be sources of indirect transmission, and cleaning and disinfection are common interventions focused on reducing contamination levels. We determined the efficacy of cleaning and disinfection procedures for reducing contamination by noroviruses, rotavirus, poliovirus, parechovirus, adenovirus, influenza virus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmo...

The ongoing convergence of Grid computing and Web Services has motivated a number of research groups to study the use of SOAP-based Web Services for scientific computing. These studies have exposed various performance problems in using SOAP-based communication, and a number of suggested extensions to the SOAP standard and/or sophisticated implementation strategies have been proposed to eliminat...

This paper presents a SOAP-based [5] event system for Grid [7] events, which in turn aid in wiring together distributed software components. SOAP RPC speci es HTTP as its network protocol and XML as the data format; representation of events using XML allows self-describing formats using XML-Schemas, and language and platform independence. We de ne SOAP events as a speci cation of interfaces and...

OBJECTIVE We tested whether soap presence in the home or a designated handwashing station was associated with diarrhoea and respiratory illness in Kenya. METHODS In April 2009, we observed presence of a handwashing station and soap in households participating in a longitudinal health surveillance system in rural Kenya. Diarrhoea and acute respiratory illness (ARI) in children < 5 years old we...

The ongoing convergence of grid computing and web services has inspired a number of studies on the use of SOAP-based web services for scientific computing. These studies have exposed several performance problems in using SOAP-based communication; to eliminate these bottlenecks, extensions to the SOAP standard and sophisticated implementation strategies have been proposed. In this paper, we will...

Most of previous studies on automatic database partitioning focus on deriving a (near-)optimal (re)partition scheme according to a specific pair of database and query workload and oversees the problem about how to efficiently deploy the derived partition scheme into the underlying database system. In fact, (re)partition scheme deployment is often non-trivial and challenging, especially in a dis...
