We report on an implemented grapheme-to-phoneme conversion architecture. Given a set of examples (spelling words with their associated phonetic representation) in a language, a grapheme-to-phoneme conversion system is automatically produced for that language which takes as its input the spelling of words, and produces as its output the phonetic transcription according to the rules implicit in t...

semantic models of both operational plans and operational environments to realign and relate data as well as enable automated reasoning and inferencing across those models. With the CAPE-based solutions in play, cross-domain commanders and staffs, as well as interagency, coalition, and nongovernmental organizations, will be able to communicate operational meaning and intent in a more structured...

quality of service (qos) is an important issue in the design and management of web service composition. qos in web services consists of various non-functional factors, such as execution cost, execution time, availability, successful execution rate, and security. in recent years, the number of available web services has proliferated, and then offered the same services increasingly. the same web ...

service oriented enterprises (soes) are subject to constant change and variation. in this paper, the changes are considered from an economic perspective based on service culture notion. once a change is implemented, the costs of some member services may increase, whereas the costs of some other services may reduce. we construct a game theoretic model trying to capture the possible conflicting i...

in this paper the design and implementation of fault tolerable architecture for scientific workflow engines is presented. the engines are assumed to be implemented as composite web services. current architectures for workflow engines do not make any considerations for substituting faulty web services with correct ones at run time. the difficulty is to rollback the execution state of the workflo...

certain advantages of service-oriented architecture have led to the spread of this type of architecture around the world. however, some special features of this type of architecture have led to more compromise between the security in the information system and other information systems. the purpose of this paper is to identify and examine the impact of factors and dimensions of the information ...
