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...

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...

In this paper we provide the first examples of non-flat soap films proven to span tetrahedra. These are members of a continuous two parameter family of soap films with tetrahedral boundaries. Of particular interest is a two parameter subfamily where each spanning soap film has the property that two minimal surfaces meet along an edge of the boundary at an angle greater than 120.
