Distributed information systems are needed to be autonomous, heterogeneous and adaptable to the context. This is the reason why they resort Web services based on SOA Based on the advanced technology of SOA. These technologies can evolve in a dynamic environment in a well-defined context and according to events automatically, such as time, temperature, location, authentication, etc... This is wh...

Rapid increases in remote sensing capability have made remotely sensed images an importance source for intelligence analysts to discover geospatial features. The overwhelming volume of routine image acquisition has greatly outpaced the increase in the capacity of manual image interpretation by intelligence analysts, and prompted automated methods for geospatial feature extraction from high spat...

As agent technology acceptance grows, there is a need for software engineering approaches to deal with the design of large, complex multiagent applications. Currently, existing approaches work well for small systems but are not well suited for large, complex applications. Thus, we propose extending multiagent approaches with service-oriented principles to simplify the design of such systems. Ou...

The evolution of software systems and system landscapes towards service-oriented architectures is a widely discussed topic. Flexibility is a frequently named goal in this context. To reach this goal, complex information systems that are transfered to service-orientation have to be restructured. In practice the restructuring requires a high manual effort for understanding the existing system and...

Over the past years, Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) Systems have been recognized more and more as a serious alternative to common monolithic systems for Enterprise Architectures (EA). An SOA provides a flexible means of effectively mapping business processes to IT processes. However, large IT systems require consistent leadership – IT Governance. For SOAs, governance faces new challenges. ...

In recent years, various organizations by following the concept of service oriented architecture, offer their services with independent and reusable programs on Internet. Since these services can be called by application programs and other services, the concept of implementing inter-organizational workflow by dynamically composing the services is being developed. The necessary requirement of th...

Abstract: The SOA Innovation Lab presents a holistic approach for the development of a service-oriented enterprise architecture with custom and standard software packages. Starting point is the construction and analysis of company domain maps with respect to characteristics of SOA and standard software. After assessing the SOA ability of standard software packages within an architecture maturit...

The dynamic composition of existing services into new services is at the core of service-oriented computing. The objective of FRESCO (Foundational Research on Service Composition) is to develop a framework that service providers can use in order to model, develop, and execute composite services. The FRESCO framework will include conceptual tools, such as models for service composition and aggre...

This paper summarizes how an algebra for mobile systems, the π-calculus, can be applied as unified formal foundation to service oriented architectures (SOA). The concepts accounted are orchestrations including data and processes, as well as choreographies consisting of interacting processes. Since SOAs incorporate agile binding of interaction partners, static process structures as found in Petr...

Recent advances in pervasive computing foster automated systems to support household energy management. Smart devices can be used to monitor both the consumption of household appliances and the presence and activity of people in the household. Based on monitoring results, intelligent feedback to residents and intelligent control of appliances is possible. In this paper we present a service-orie...
