Users can connect their smart phones to their cars to for example use the car's speakers and microphones to make phone calls or read out various diagnostics data from the car such as engine speed and coolant temperature. However, to provide high usability and also often due to limitations in physical input/output capabilities of Bluetooth devices, there may be errors in the implementations where Bluetooth security features are not fully utilized for the pairing procedure. For example, attackers can target vehicle IoT devices using fixed unchangeable PINs that are always in discoverable mode and pair with such devices by guessing the PINs. If these devices are connected to the in-vehicle network, an attacker in control of such a device could execute attacks by injecting arbitrary messages into the in-vehicle network. These attacks could have serious consequences on human life as they can affect the safety of the car. Therefore, it is imperative to provide proper security measures for vehicle IoT devices that provide a potential entry point to the in-vehicle network.","PeriodicalId":138805,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 7th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123712599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The composition of the activities into a business process that accomplishes a specific organisational goal has primarily been a manual task. Automated planning is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) in which activities are selected and organised by anticipating their expected outcomes with the aim of achieving some goal. As such, automated planning would seem to be a natural fit to the BPM domain to automate the specification of control flow. A number of attempts have been made to apply automated planning to the business process and service composition domain in different stages of the BPM lifecycle. However, a unified adoption of these techniques throughout the BPM lifecycle is missing. As such, we propose a new intention-centric BPM paradigm, which aims on minimising the specification effort by exploiting automated planning techniques to achieve a pre-stated goal. This paper provides a vision on the future possibilities of enhancing BPM using automated planning. A research agenda is presented, which provides an overview of the opportunities and challenges for the exploitation of automated planning in BPM.","PeriodicalId":138805,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 7th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130580866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To tackle this issue, in this paper we present a medical system that supports clinicians in the management of clinical guidelines. The system exploits concepts from Business Process Management (BPM) and Service Oriented Computing (SOC) on how to organize clinical guidelines in the healthcare context and how to support the automation of their execution. As a viable solution for clinicians' interaction with the system, we investigated the use of vocal and touch interfaces. Usability evaluation results indicate the feasibility of the approach.","PeriodicalId":138805,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 7th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130924300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Functional as well as non-functional properties have to be considered in order to satisfy individual user requests. Regarding non-functional properties, the composition process can be modeled as optimization problem and solved accordingly. Functional properties, in turn, can be described by means of a formal specification language. State-space based planning approaches can then be applied to solve the underlying composition problem. However, depending on the expressiveness of the applied formalism and the completeness of the functional descriptions, formally equivalent services may still differ with respect to their implemented functionality. As a consequence, the most appropriate solution for a desired functionality can hardly be determined without considering additional information. In this paper, we demonstrate how to overcome this lack of information by means of Reinforcement Learning. In order to resolve ambiguity, we expand state-space based service composition by a recommendation mechanism that supports decision-making beyond formal specifications. The recommendation mechanism adjusts its recommendation strategy based on feedback from previous composition runs. Image processing serves as case study. Experimental results show the benefit of our proposed solution.","PeriodicalId":138805,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 7th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116455828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Usually, negotiation problems have constraints such as a complex and unknown opponent's utility in real time, or time discounting. Recently, the attention of this study has focused on the nonlinear utility functions. In nonlinear utility functions, most of the negotiation strategies for linear utility functions can't adopt to the scenarios of nonlinear utility functions. In this paper, we propose the estimating method for the pareto frontier based on the opponent's bids. In the proposed method, the opponent's bid is divided into small elements considering the combinations between issues, and counted the number of the opponent's proposing to estimated the opponent's utility function. In addition, the genetic algorithm is employed to the proposed method to search the pareto optimal bids based on the opponent's estimated utility and own utility. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method considering the interdependency between issues can search the pareto optimal bids.","PeriodicalId":138805,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 7th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121832107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Smart supply chains fusing dynamic sensor data with information provided by backend-systems are one such example of event-based enterprise systems. Monitoring their global state in an effective way for runtime governance remains an open research challenge: providing the required type of information while trading off precision for costs. We previously introduced application-specific integrated aggregation (ASIA) as a means for collecting metadata in distributed event-based systems. In this paper, we show how ASIA can support IT Service Management in monitoring and governing decentralized event-based enterprise systems at runtime. We present a dashboard based on industry-strength technology as proof of concept and discuss how to integrate usage statistics provided on-the-fly by ASIA into metrics for runtime governance.
