DEFINE: A Service-Oriented Dynamically Enabling Function Model

Architecture Enabling Service-oriented Digital Biobanks

In Finland, the Biobank Act entered into effect in 2013. The primary motivation for the act is to enable the utilization of collected biological sample material for medical research. However, in order to effectively utilize this data, there exists a need to develop new technological solutions to support the collection and management of potentially large sets of sensitive data through multiple s...

UDDI Executive Overview: Enabling Service-Oriented Architecture

A Metamodel for Enabling a Service Oriented Architecture

Process modelling initiatives generally develop their process models without much emphasis on data, burying their sequence of operations as a thread within a non-elementary process. More often than not, these buried operations are elementary atomic reusable components. The resulting models are generally not flexible or sufficiently reusable, suffering from update anomalies and redundancies. Add...

A Novel Approach to Dynamically Construct User Navigation-Oriented Quantitative Model for Web Service

Web service is considered as one of computational resources available on network, which has become a popular paradigm to develop platform-independent applications. However, due to the diverse-grained, non-determinism, and timeliness natures of Web service, it is not surprising that Web-based service application frequently experiences problems, such as unreachable pages and reduced responsivenes...

Changes in a Service Oriented Enterprise: A Game Theory Approach

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...
