Information service is one of the key components of the grid system, and information service interoperation is the first step towards grid interoperation. Existing grid interoperability projects mainly focus on immediate bridge mechanisms, which is intricate and of poor scalability. A uniform information service interoperation framework (UISIF) is proposed in the paper, which adopts virtual lay...

In order to resolve the shortcomings of traditional workflow interoperation and realize more flexible workflow interoperation, this article describes a new workflow interoperating model based on web services and interoperating agents to realize workflow interoperation. We also developed a prototype workflow system to realize the new model. The new model is more general, flexible, and capable of...

Abstract This article examines the “sensor work” carried out in development of autonomous vehicles which, without sensor data, would not and arguably still do not, have capacity to decide on where, how, drive. I begin by discussing three aspects technologies considered be foundation for work being vehicle settings, namely distribution, processing, sourcing data. The considers how that much this...

There is tremendous synergy between the roughly existing molecular biology databases Once these databases are interconnected biologists will be able to integrate diverse sources of information to answer questions that are laborious or impossible to tackle today This NSF funded workshop brought bioinformatics researchers and users of molecular biology databases together with computer science spe...

In this paper we consider how practical interoperation between a conventional PKI and an infrastructure based on ID-based cryptography might be achieved. Major issues arising from such interoperation are raised, and possible solutions are proposed.

The interoperation of spatial information is an effective way for sharing spatial information, in order to complete any exchanges and integrations of spatial information within and between application systems and organizations. This paper is to apply the metadata interoperability-related research outputs, namely Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), in the field o...

object-oriented, distributed, enterprise-wide This paper presents an architecture that supports coordination among loosely coupled distributed objects. The architecture has two components: objects that provide a declarative specification of their interface, and system programs that reason with these specifications to provide sophisticated interoperation services. Traditional object-oriented int...
