As the increasing development of application technology and infrastructure, many kinds of application can be wrapped to standard web service, and tasks can be partitioned and mapped to service instances according to web service architecture. Service-oriented architecture is an approach to define integration architectures based on the concept of a service. We believe service-oriented application...

Specifying service-oriented system, which is a new type of Enterprise Information System, is critical with the rapid development of Web Services. For the purpose, this paper presents an approach to model ServiceOriented Architecture (SOA). We do not exclude the traditional opinions of software architecture description as the current specification approaches; on the contrary, some similar concep...

Although significant strides have been taken towards the adaptation of Electronic Medical Records, it has not reached fully maturity yet in terms of its implementation and use. Regardless, the implementation of electronic medical records, especially in developing countries, will greatly improve the quality of healthcare and present opportunities to contribute to the improvement of health worldw...

Nowadays, a major paradigm of large scale distributed processing is service-oriented computing (or SOA, Service Oriented Architecture). To improve availability and reliability of SOA based systems and applications, a Reliability Service (providing external support of web services recovery) is proposed.

Service-Oriented architectures and Service-Oriented Computing are the most recent approaches aiming at facilitating the design and development of applications on distributed systems. The primary goal of this paper is to investigate how the construction of mobile services can benefit from the Service-Oriented paradigm. The paper provides an elucidation of the ServiceOriented architecture. A gene...

Leveraging service oriented programming paradigm would significantly affect the way people build software systems. However, to achieve this goal a solid software design methodology should be grounded on proper mathematical foundations, specific service-oriented principles, concepts and patterns. This paper contributes to the above goal proposing a lightweight, but complete, mathematical framewo...

This paper presents the implementation, using a Service Oriented Architecture, of an approach for dynamic flexibility and evolution in workflows through the support of flexible work practices, based not on proprietary frameworks, but on accepted ideas of how people actually work. A set of principles have been derived from a sound theoretical base and applied to the development of worklets, an e...
