This paper compares the hierarchical structure between SOA and integration information service platform in rural informatization, analyse the main problems in the macro level of rural information and gives some strategy advices in service-oriented integration information service platform on rural informatization. Through the implementation of pilot projects, it is proved that the SOA architectu...

Genomics research presents technical, computational, and analytical challenges that are well recognized. Less recognized are the complex sociological, psychological, cultural, and political challenges that arise when genomics research takes place within a large, decentralized academic institution. In this paper, we describe a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)—MaPSeq—that was conceptualized an...

In this paper we analyse the applicability of our ontology based context modelling approach, considering a range of use cases. After wrapping up the model and the Context Ontology Language (CoOL) derived from it, we introduce some interesting applications of the language, based on a scenario showing the challenges in context aware service interactions. We focus on two submodels of our model for...

Serious Games (SGs) have a lot of potential in education, possibly making learning more engaging and satisfying. Adaptive Games strive to keep the challenges presented by the game balanced with the player’s abilities, as to keep the player in the “flow” state. We have used a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach to develop a simple adaptive SG for teaching basic elements of probability t...

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...

Early elimination of poor design architecture allows software to be constructed that is more extendible, flexible, maintainable, and thus less expensive. Currently, there exist few object-oriented design architecture measures to aid in this task. Many contemporary objectoriented software measures fail to address the intrinsic components of the object-oriented paradigm: hierarchy, inheritance, i...

2007 January " Data dominates. If you've chosen the right data structures and organized things well, the algorithms will almost always be self-evident. Data structures, not algorithms, are central to programming. Abstract As more devices and systems get woven into the fabric of our networked world, the scale and the complexity of integration is growing at a rapid pace. Our existing methodologie...

As Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Web services are becoming widely deployed, the problematic of security is far from being solved. In an attempt to address this issue, the industry proposed several extensions to the SOAP protocol that currently reached different levels of standardization. However, no architectural guidelines have yet been proposed. In this paper we first outline the s...
