Although SOA was successful for many years, today it has reached its limits due to many reasons including the heavy stack of standards that make difficult the creation of applications instead of simplifying it. Another major drawback is the neglect of the creative potential of the user, not involved in the life cycle of the SOA software. In this paper, we present a solution to enhance SOA, by e...

Business intelligence (BI) architecture based on service-oriented architecture (SOA) concept enables enterprises to deploy agile and reliable BI applications. However, the key factors for implementing a SOA-based BI architecture from technical perspectives have not yet been systematically investigated. Most of the prior studies focus on organisational and managerial perspectives rather than tec...

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has drawn significant attention recently, and numerous architecture approaches have been proposed to represent SOA-based applications. The architecture of SOA-based applications is different from traditional software architecture, which is mainly static. The architecture of an SOA-based application is dynamic, i.e., the application can be composed at runtime ...

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a model that has established itself as a strong trend in the business and information architectures. Organizations that adopt SOA can take advantage of its benefits for their business and technical areas. Benefits include: (1) Increase in: agility, efficiency, reuse, interoperability, consistency of systems and return on IT investment. (2) Reduction in: co...

This study investigates the droplet formation characteristics of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formed during the ozonolysis of sesquiterpene β-caryophyllene (with and without hydroxyl radicals present). Emphasis is placed on understanding the role of semi-volatile material on Cloud Condensation Nucleus (CCN) activity and droplet 5 growth kinetics. Aging of β-caryophyllene SOA significantly af...

[1] The role of isoprene as a source of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is studied using laboratory-derived SOA yields and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regionalscale Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system over a domain comprising the contiguous United States, southern Canada, and northern Mexico. Isoprene is predicted to be a significant source of biogenic SOA, lead...

Service-oriented computing is an emerging IT innovation. Among its manifestations is service-oriented architecture (SOA), an architectural approach to designing and implementing IT solutions. Academic empirical research on SOA adoption is scarce, with many studies focussing on qualitative analysis. The purpose of this study is to explore SOA adoption using a quantitative approach. This study in...

Diluted exhaust from a diesel engine was photo-oxidized in a smog chamber to investigate secondary organic aerosol (SOA) production. Photochemical aging rapidly produces significant SOA, almost doubling the organic aerosol contribution of primary emissions after several hours of processing at atmospherically relevant hydroxyl radical concentrations. Less than 10% of the SOA mass can be explaine...

We investigated the performance of RAMAN-EDFA, RAMAN-SOA, EDFA-SOA hybrid Amplifiers in 120 channel WDM systems with each channel having data rate 10 Gbps at reduced channel spacing of 50 GHz. The performance has been compared on the basis of different fiber length at dispersion equal to 2 ps/nm/km in terms of Qfactor, BER and Eye opening. The results showed that RAMAN – EDFA provides the highe...

The Internet of Things (IOT) describes a worldwide network of intercommunicating devices. IoT is considered as part of Internet and the future will comprise billions of intelligent and communicating ‘things’. The future of the Internet will consist of heterogeneously connected devices that will further extend the borders of the world with physical entities and virtual components. Internet of Th...
