The proposed approach allows us to extract relevant data as well as to exclude useless and misleading contents from an XML document. Essentially, it combines ontology reasoning with an approximate pattern-matching engine which searches for patterns in a flexible way (i.e. modulo renaming, insertion, and deletion of XML items) and ranks the results w.r.t. their cost. The filtering process is guided by the syntax as well as the semantics of the XML documents, since it relies on both the document structure and the onto- logical information to which the document is related. Such information is retrieved by querying (possibly remote) ontology reasoners. Our methodology has been implemented in the XPHIL system, which is written in Haskell. By using the XML benchmarking tool xmlgen, we have developed some scalable experiments which demonstrate the usefulness of our approach.","PeriodicalId":139145,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Conference on Internet and Web Applications and Services","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122542994","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}

Examples are defining service composition behaviour, in the form of the business process execution language for Web services (WS-BPEL) and a global service choreography policy, in the form of the Web service choreography description language (WS-CDL). Whilst there have been a number of model-based analysis tools reported, there is a lack of integration with development environments to support analysis of these different service artifacts. In this paper we present a short history of some of the analysis tools reported, discuss an appropriate criteria of accessible integrated development with analysis features and provide an example approach, called \"service engineer\" using our tools and integration work. The approach is supported by an integrated service tool-chain development environment known as the SENSORIA development environment. The aim is to provide an accessible, rigorous approach to analysing service compositions but with a simple, clearly defined interface in an integrated development environment.","PeriodicalId":139145,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Conference on Internet and Web Applications and Services","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133468588","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}

In contrast to its predecessor (WSDL 1.1), WSDL 2.0 does not define a fixed set of operation types but provides for a generic mechanism to define an operation by means of message exchange patterns (MEPs). In this paper we compare the expressivity of MEPs in general with other work and formalisms in the field of service interaction. Furthermore, we identify new MEPs and extend the template used to define MEPs to allow expressing more complex patterns. We give a refined definition of MEPs based on a detailed discussion and discuss how WSDL and the MEPs in particular can be combined with the choreography approach.","PeriodicalId":139145,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Conference on Internet and Web Applications and Services","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128199761","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 support these services, the processing of many transactions has become essential in the Internet. There are many researches regarding user profiling on web services to support those transactions effectively. Most of them are just for grasping the customer's preferences. However, the user's role on a recent web service is not limited. It is not fixed what they are doing among users; consumers could become providers and also providers could become consumers on virtual online environments such as the open market of the Internet. For this reason, it is necessary to inspect preference of both the consumer as well as the provider. In addition, the traditional service lacks of representing of various provider's preferences. In this paper, we proposed a Personal Preference Tree (PPT) to reflect the preferences for providers then implemented the module applied to the web service. Likewise, we evaluated the applicability and the performance of the personal preference module through simulations.","PeriodicalId":139145,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Conference on Internet and Web Applications and Services","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130355218","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}
