We promote the use of transactional attributes for modelling business processes in the service-oriented scenario. Transactional attributes have been introduced in Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) to decorate the methods published in Java containers. Attributes describe “modalities” that discipline the reconfiguration of transactional scopes (i.e., of caller and callee) upon method invocation. An orig...

A selective disclosure attribute-based credential system (SDABCS) can provide a communication mechanism to protect both security and privacy in electronic communication, by issuing a kind of credential with attributes, which the user can disclose parts of attributes. We present a general framework for formally verification of SDABCS with applied Pi calculus, and provide three definitions of rel...

In this doctoral thesis a personalization management approach is presented. The thesis applies different personalization attributes on available pervasive applications and services within service domains. These attributes are the building blocks in the personalized provisioning of services and applications on the pervasive networks. The attributes are put on a layered model for management purpo...

The aim of this review paper is to bring into light a potential area i.e., web services supply chains for research by analyzing the existing state of art in this. It is observed from the review process that there seems to be much less work done in the area of web service supply chains as compared to e-commerce and product oriented service supply chains. The service quality assurance models, end...

With the growing expansion of web services resources on the internet, more and more users come to appreciate the difficulty of searching self-gratification information from the mass information. This paper analyzes functional attributes and un-functional attributes of Web service resources, builds the mapping relationship between FQoS and QoS, and defines the index system structure of FQoS (Fun...

Web services have got popular for developing Service-Oriented Architectures recently. As several web services are available to execute the same function, Quality of Service (QoS) turns into a discriminative factor which is significantly considered in service selection and service composition approaches. In different approaches, monitoring of services is used for evaluating QoS attributes. Custo...

SOA is a prominent paradigm for accomplishing reuse of services. Service reusability is one dominant factor which has a greater influence on achieving quality in SOA systems. There exists sufficient research in this area and researchers have contributed many works towards achieving quality in SOA systems but much emphasis was not provided on service reusability [1] [2] [3]. Few authors have add...

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) provides a flexible framework for web service composition. Using standard based protocols (such as SOAP and WSDL), composite services can be constructed by integrating atomic services developed independently. For each service in the composition, many service providers can offer the same function but may have different non-functional attributes (i.e. security,...

Adoption of mobile data services may be analyzed within the framework of two-sided markets. Service or content providers should adopt platforms for developing, integrating and distributing mobile services and end-users should adopt the offered services as well as the user platform offered. These two markets are often analyzed separately using different theoretical perspectives and models. In th...
