Widely used in development of web services, Scrum contributes to agile service development, reducing the Time To Market (TTM) and increasing the profit to service providers. Caring for dynamic requirement changes and incremental development of web services are other advantages of employing Scrum for development of web services. However there are several problems with this methodology limiting i...

With the development and application of SOA technology, security issues of Web services based on heterogeneous platform have become increasingly prominent. The security of SOAP message is of great importance to Web service security. In order to solve the security issue of heterogeneous platforms, a security processing model named SIMSA (Security Interactive Model based on SOAP and Authenticatio...

A known weakness of Web Services is their vulnerability to Denial of Service attacks exploiting XML processing characteristics. To protect Web Services from these attacks, extended validation of SOAP messages—considering WS-Security and WS-SecurityPolicy—is made. For SOAP security is message oriented, the processing of the security content itself is vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks. Henc...

With the rapid adoption of the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), sophisticated software systems are increasingly built by composing coarse-grained service components offered by different organizations through standard web service interfaces. The ability to quantify end-to-end security risks of composite software services is extremely valuable to businesses that increasingly rely on web appli...

This paper argues that, in a collaboration context, instead of Web services requiring client applications to comply with individual permutations of security configurations, a standardized mechanism should be established to ensure global security-interoperability. Such a solution would facilitate providing Web services in Grid Services contexts as well. A framework is proposed which comprises, i...

Automation and optimisation of supply-chain activities are made possible by radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. RFID supply chain performance can be enhanced by integrating RFID functions into the web service paradigm. However, the use of RFID involves growing privacy and security concerns, in part because the lack of RFID tag capacity places the whole supply-chain loop at risk of...

Model Driven Architecture is an approach to increase the quality of complex software systems by creating high-level system models and automatically generating system architectures and components out of these models. We show how this paradigm can be applied to what we call Model Driven Security for inter-organizational workflows in e-government. Our focus is on the realization of security-critic...

The service oriented architecture (SOA) is gaining more momentum with the advent of network services on the Web. A programmable and machine accessible Web is the vision of many, and might represent a step towards the semantic Web. However, security is a crucial requirement for the serious usage and adoption of Web services technology. This paper reviews existing work related to Web service secu...

nowadays, world wide web has become a popular medium to search information, business, trading and so on. various organizations and companies are also employing the web in order to introduce their products or services around the world. therefore e-commerce or electronic commerce is formed. e-commerce is any type of business or commercial transaction that involves the transfer of information acro...
