Service Oriented Architectures have recently emerged as a promising approach to develop Web-Based service provision environments. These architectures are characterized by federating services into a single, dynamic distributed system which is capable of spontaneously discovering and configuring itself upon service connections and disconnections. This work proposes a new architectural model, name...

With increasing attractiveness of location-based services (LBS), the need for consistent establishment and deployment of the LBS Quality of Service (QoS) hierarchy is strongly demanded. The position estimation is in the heart of every location-based service. Thus, LBS QoS is primarily concerned with position estimation performance, including position estimation errors and response time, achieve...

IEEE 802.11 wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) have become more and more popular due to easy to deployment and lower cost. It can only provide a best effort service and do not have quality of service (QoS) support for real time (RT) traffic. The IEEE Task Group has been proposed a new standard IEEE 802.11e[1] to address this MAC-layer QoS issue of WLAN. In this paper we proposed a new service d...

BACKGROUND Children may fall behind on preventive services because they do not receive needed services at the time of an office visit (a missed opportunity). However, methods are needed to measure problems in the care delivery process that lead to missed opportunities. We developed a method to examine the key steps in the preventive service delivery process and identify problems; we assessed th...
