Benefiting from the technology based strategies, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been able to achieve the general goals such as agility, flexibility, reusability and efficiency. Nevertheless, technical conditions alone cannot guarantee successful SOA implementations. As a valuable and necessary supplement, the space of technology independent strategies should also be explored. Through t...

The MISTRAL system, a service oriented architecture for semantic extraction of multimedia data from meeting recordings is described shortly. It improves on other similar systems by extracting a variety of semantic metadata from one media type and integrating it with concepts derived from other media types, as well as by adding inference capabilities to resolve ambiguities and further enrich ext...

With software services becoming a strategic capability for the software sector, software architecture needs to address integration problems to help services to collaborate and coordinate their activities. The increasing need to address dynamic and automated changes can be answered by a service coordination architecture with event-based collaboration that enables dynamic and adaptive architectur...

Service-oriented architectures are widely discussed as a design principle for application and enterprise architectures. Nevertheless, an adequate granularity of services from an economical perspective has not yet been researched sufficiently. The finer the granularity to realize the functions of a process, the higher is the number of services and the more effort has to be spent to compose them....

This project is aimed at the research on new methods, techniques and tools, as well as the adaptation of those already existing, in order to improve the quality of software processes and products, paying special attention to the applications based on service oriented architectures. The technologies to develop include new testing approaches and the elaboration of simulation models of both proces...

Today’s business environment pushes organizations to be adaptive and collaborative. This push drives the development of service-oriented enterprise architecture (SOEA) in support of the organization. To realise the advantages offered by SOEA, research on avoiding SOEA implementation failure is of considerable merit. In the review of literature on SOEA implementation failure, two research proble...

Traditional software architecture models, such as: Object-oriented, Service-oriented, Agent-oriented, have been confronting the challenges in more and more complex distributed computing situations, e.g. pervasive computing, Internet of things, smart-city, etc. Organization-oriented architecture model is proposed to attempt to improve the abstraction and design capability of software architectur...
