Towards an Abstraction Layer for Scientific Services
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a platform that facilitates building scientific services on top. We describe the problems in building such services and derive a general-purpose, extensible layer for accessing any resource that has a URI and is accessible on the Web. The platform, and more in general the classes of systems that have this functionality, is referred to as Resource Space Management System and is the (scientific) resource analogous of a data space management system. In this paper we describe the model and conceptual architecture of the platform, discuss its benefits and outline the research plan for its realization.

Towards Scientific Collaboration in a Semantic Wiki
On the Web 2.0, there are numerous projects for collaboratively creating and using scientific knowledge in a wiki—think of the scientific sections of Wikipedia or domain-specific platforms like PlanetMath. They do, however, not yet offer semantic services that could promote collaboration both of scientific knowledge engineers and of scholars or that take semantics emerged from such communities ...
متن کاملTowards a Framework for the Verification of UML Models of Services
We make a connection between different layers of abstraction of the engineering process of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) by presenting an encoding of UML4SOA, a UML profile for modeling SOAs, in COWS, a process calculus for specifying service-oriented systems. The encoding provides a rigorous semantics for UML4SOA and paves the way for the verification of UML4SOA models by exploiting th...
متن کاملTowards a Semantic Wiki for Science
Collaborative work environments (CWEs) for scientific knowledge have many applications in research and education. In recent years, successful platforms open for anyone appeared on the web, e. g. Wikipedia and PlanetMath, a wiki particularly tailored to mathematics, or Connexions, a CMS for general courseware1. Thanks to flexible content creation and linking, similar systems also support corpora...
متن کاملReference Model Services
A Protocol Reference Model is an abstraction of the communication subsystem of a system. Thus, it is appropriate to focus on the protocol reference model when examining the issue of secure communications. In this paper, we discuss some issues in incorporating security services into a protocol reference model. The security services considered are authentication, con dentiality, integrity and acc...
متن کاملMeshing with Grids: Toward functional abstractions for grid-based visualization
A challenge for grid computing is finding abstractions that separate concerns about what a grid application must achieve from the specific resources on which it might be deployed. One approach, taken by a range of toolkits and APIs, is to add further layers of abstraction above the raw machine and network, allowing explicit interaction with grid services. The developers’ view, however, remains ...
