The Universal Description Discovery & Integration (UDDI) is a standard for XML registry that enables functionality-based publication and discovery of Web services. This paper presents a UDDI extension to support Quality of Service (QoS) management in the context of Business Process Management Systems (BPMSs). To allow service selection, a BPMS architecture should include brokers to match consum...

This study examines the use of web-based electronic services. It aims to develop a web-based electronic service model (e-sam) and test its effectiveness and from it develop an understanding about user interaction with websites. In the process constructs are developed to measure user attributes in using web-based e-services. This paper reports a survey which captured 403 responses on user attrib...

In order to maintain the popularity and reputation of a web site, the quality of service perceived by users, especially the service availability, is a success factor. A service that is frequently unavailable may have negative effects on the reputation of the service provider, or result in loss of business opportunities. From the user’s perspective, a service that exhibits poor quality is virtua...

The Universal Description Discovery & Integration (UDDI) is a specification for XML registry that enables functionality-based publication and discovery of Web services. This paper presents a UDDI extension to support Quality of Service (QoS) management in the context of Business Process Management Systems (BPMSs).

Detailed road maps are essential for efficient routing of vehicles. However, available data on roads is not always sufficient to support efficient routing, especially in the domain of agricultural vehicles, where route networks are not maintained by official mapping agencies. Efficient route planning can help reducing the cost of agricultural operations such as harvesting. We propose an approac...

The need for service rules, or policies, in supply chains arises if not all the parts processed in the chain are considered identical, but are distinguished by certain attributes. We develop and analyze a methodology to model arbitrary service rules in large supply chains based on a kinetic (traffic flow like) theory and a level set approach. The final result is a system of hyperbolic conservat...

In most of the current trust model, the evaluation of whether an entity is trust is different to different judger. The reason of this phenomenon is that different judger use the different standard in its opinion. So the evaluation lack of convincing, are not well describe the relationship between two parties.
