Checking whether the agreed service quality attributes are fulfilled or maintained during the service life-cycle is a very important task for SLA (Service Level Agreement) enforcement. In this paper, we leverage conformance checking techniques developed for computational services to automate the conformity checking of transport & logistics services. Our solution extends the WS-Agreement metamod...

Service-oriented architecture concepts and Web Services specifications allow for an infinite binding between the service requestor and the service provider. This open-ended form of interaction constrains the service provider from changing service contracts, policies and endpoints. Other distributed technologies and protocols such as Jini and DHCP provide for the use of a lease to more easily ma...

Many large-scale utility computing infrastructures comprise heterogeneous hardware and software resources. This raises the need for scalable resource selection services that identify resources that match application requirements. Such a service must provide an efficient lookup in spite of changing resource attributes such as disk size, changing application requirements such as installed softwar...

The paper proposes a metric based framework for evaluating service oriented architecture. Different models and metrics have been proposed in different perspective for evaluating service oriented architecture, but it has been recognized that the available models and metrics are insufficient. This paper gives a software standard based way to identify measurable attributes to propose metrics. This...

The Integration Rules (IRules) environment provides a framework for using events and rules in the integration of EJB components. This research has investigated the extensions required to integrate Web Services into the IRules architecture and execution environment. The IRules language framework and metadata have been extended for Web Services, with enhancements to Web Service interfaces for des...

This paper empirically evaluates container terminal service attributes from shipping lines and shipping agencies’ perspective. Some methods are applied for study, such as Internal-Consistency Reliability, Factor Analysis, Cluster Analysis, Importance-Satisfaction Analysis and analysis of variance. The results suggest that customers perceive reliability of the agreed vessel sailing time to be th...
