Business applications composed of heterogeneous distributed components or Web services need mediation to resolve data and process mismatches at runtime. This paper describes mediation in IRS-III, a framework and platform for developing WSMO-based Semantic Web Services. We present our approach to mediation within Semantic Web Services and highlight the role of WSMO mediator types when solving mi...

Components have brought with them the notion of services which let the programmer concentrate on the business behavior of his component while the non functional part (i.e. the services) is the responsibility of the platform provider. Thus services are not reusable throughout the different platforms; the mechanism used to integrate them in the component is totally platform dependant. In this pap...

In the early 1990s, e-business heralded what is being called the Internet-driven "new economy." It revolutionized the process of buying, selling, and exchanging products and services, and spawned a host of business and technology innovations. As globalization and e-business pose new opportunities and challenges, firms face increased pressures from stakeholders to create e-business values. Firms...

Multimedia service providers on the web need their services to be well protected and easily accessible worldwide. This has initiated several lines of research to provide semantically rich policy-aware web services. However, the existence of various technologies to define and protect services has made the communication of services questionable. Currently, it is ambiguous how a broker agent looki...

Businesses today have more than ever a sharp focus on reducing capital and operational expenses. Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) and adoption of shared service models have all increased on a global scale. This results in an emerging complexity and volatility of business relationships. As the future internet of services evolves towards dynamic “service mar...

Because of loose coupling, interoperability and reusability in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) many business applications are developed using SOA. Main components os SOA based applications are service provider, service consumer and service repository. Communication between these components is achieeved by exchanging SOAP messages, which are XML documents. XML to Java mapping is difficult ...

Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) have provided improved means of serving data in business-to-business (B2B) communications. Usually, however, the flow of data from services is limited by the service provider, and different providers may limit to vastly different rates, leading to different quality of services (QoSs) for each. In some cases, the data from these various providers must be syn...
