SaaS applications have been widely adopted especially by small and medium enterprises. At the same time, the features "multi-tenancy" and "loosely coupled" bring new challenges to enterprises interoperability. On the basis of the layered interoperability model, the paper presents an approach based on interoperability points to implement interoperation between SaaS applications in the service la...

In order to easily convert existing application to multi-tenant Software as a Service model, a Java migration platform is proposed. Firstly, the existing application is embed into the conversion platform and the single-tenant database was transformed to multi-tenant database by database transformation function. Secondly, each tenant’s operation and data access was isolated in business and datab...

Retinol plays a vital role in the immune response to infection, yet proteins that mediate retinol transport during infection have not been identified. Serum amyloid A (SAA) proteins are strongly induced in the liver by systemic infection and in the intestine by bacterial colonization, but their exact functions remain unclear. Here we show that mouse and human SAAs are retinol binding proteins. ...

In this paper, by analyzing the characteristics of data exchange process of SaaS-based collaboration supporting platform for industrial chain, a dynamic and secure business data exchange model for the platform is established. On this basis, methods for business data automatic obtain and format conversion, client authentication based on encryption lock and SOAP extension, business data encryptio...

Elasticity is one of key features of cloud computing. Elasticity allows Software as a Service (SaaS) applications’ provider to reduce cost of running applications. In large SaaS applications that are developed using service-oriented architecture model, each service is deployed in a separated virtual machine and may use one or more services to complete its task. Although, scaling service indepen...

Organizational subunits such as marketing, sales, and customer service, invest in software-as-a-service (SaaS) as a means to reduce information technology costs, speed time to market, gain access to new technologies, and improve application support and maintenance. For these reasons, SaaS has been characterized as a form of outsourcing, but one in which IT is losing relevancy because contracts ...

Transcatheter embolization is the mainstay of the therapy of splenic artery aneurysms (SAAs) in patients with portal hypertension. It is indicated when the SAA diameter reaches 20 mm. Although endovascular techniques are effective and safe for the treatment of medium-sized SAAs, little is known about their applicability to large-sized SAAs. Herein, we report a case of giant SAA, which was treat...

It has been shown (Athas et al., 1994) that adiabatic switching can significantly reduce the dynamic power dissipation in an integrated circuit. Due to the overhead in the realization of adiabatic logic blocks (Saas et al., 2000) the best results are achieved when it is used only for charging dominant loads in an integrated circuit (Voss and Glessner, 2001). It has been demonstrated (Saas et al...

Cloud computing is an important Technology that has become an essential component of the of an IT Industry. Cloud computing is offering everything as a service. The usage of services provided by the cloud is growing drastically. Even though it is a critical issue in order to select and use the potential service on the cloud. SaaS delivery model is used more attractive by many users due to its b...

This paper aims at proposing an ERP-SaaS model systems solution for manufacturing SCM networked value systems to enable the end-customer organisation to decrease the cost of implementation, maintenance and the overall administration of the application. This applied research employed an industrial pilot case study with an OEM industrial partner. The proposed ERP-SaaS model in this paper attempts...
