In this paper, we will address two underlying problems of Web service continuity in mobile ubiquitous networks. On the one hand, our work presents a lightweight solution for connection interruption. On the other hand, we introduce a technique to switch between devices during service invocation. The Suspend-Relocate-Resume for Web Services (SRR-WS) Framework meets these challenges by allowing a ...

The APA Division 16 Working Group on Translating Science to Practice contends that implementation science is essential to the process of translating evidence-based interventions (EBIs) into the unique context of the schools, and that increasing attention to implementation will lead to the improvement of school psychological services and school learning environments. Key elements of implementati...

Preface The global environment is changing due to human and natural causes. The challenge of understanding global environmental change and of providing the policy-relevant knowledge base required by societies to deal with this change reaches across many aspects of scientific endeavour. Research combines observations, process studies, manipulative experiments and modelling, to improve the capabi...

BACKGROUND Like many new fields, implementation science has become vulnerable to instrumentation issues that potentially threaten the strength of the developing knowledge base. For instance, many implementation studies report findings based on instruments that do not have established psychometric properties. This article aims to review six pressing instrumentation issues, discuss the impact of ...
