Multi-disciplinary simulation is advocated to guarantee high fidelity simulating of the real state of working. The interoperability and reusability of simulation models in distributed heterogeneous environment are the inherent requirement for the analysis of complex product which is designed by geographically distributed teams in a process of great complexity. The service oriented computing(SOC) is emerging as a new paradigm of software system for distributed application. We propose a multi-disciplinary simulation environment based SOC. The process of work and the computing resources are defined, registered, consumed and orchestrated services. We address several key issues in this analysis environment and study a typical case based on a prototype system. The new paradigm leverages available engineering resources embodied as loosely-coupled services. Service oriented computing has great potential in engineering application.","PeriodicalId":226255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA '07)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121118171","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}

At the end of the day, however, most applications are still about data, and service-oriented applications are no different. In this talk, we will argue that data services are a critical piece of the SOA application puzzle. We will discuss an approach to SOA data modeling that involves defining a network of related data services. We will also make the case for a declarative approach to defining such services, showing how the proposed approach enables a level of highly performant composition (reuse) that is not attainable through other, more traditional approaches. Along the way we will identify industry standards from W3C and other consortia that offer a standards-based foundation for data services.","PeriodicalId":226255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA '07)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130216979","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 do this, DPC needs service collaboration ontology modeling, service collaboration discovery and establishment based on collaboration ontology and runtime recomposition capability.

However, the organic transformation from legacy enterprise applications to SOA applications has occurred mostly in large enterprises. Small businesses have largely been left out of the SOA transformation. For small businesses and organizations, SOA is a mysterious technology little related with their business. This paper proposes a new way of scaling SOA services dubbed \"outsidein\" SOA that makes it possible for small business to enjoy the benefit of service orientation and service mashups to best fit their business needs. This \"outsidein\" SOA approach could unleash a SOA tsunami that will lead to the adoption of business-oriented Web services in a way similar to the adoption of the Web 2.0 that took place in the consumer market. This paper also demonstrates a few use cases how such a service delivery model could benefit small businesses and discusses the technical and social challenges of the adoption of this approach.","PeriodicalId":226255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA '07)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130069735","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 this paper, we describe the Vienna District Heating Integration Platform (VIDIHIP). VIDIHIP is based on Web service technology and allows for the integration of arbitrary (heterogeneous) power plant control systems. It provides a consistent interface to access different decentralized control systems and each standard Web browser can be used as a control front-end for VIDIHIP.","PeriodicalId":226255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA '07)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121462740","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}

Networking systems form the foundation of Grid computing and must be integrated into the Grid. Service-oriented architecture is the basis of Grid computing; therefore service-oriented network description and discovery are the keys to network-Grid integration. High-performance Grid computing must select appropriate network services that meet the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of various Grid applications. However, current Grid service description and discovery approaches are based on functional criteria instead of performance criteria thus are insufficient to support network service discovery. In this paper, a new description approach is proposed for describing QoS capabilities of network services. Based on this new description approach, a performance-based service discovery technology is developed for selecting network services that meet the QoS requirements of Grid applications. The network service description and discovery technologies developed in this paper are highly flexible and applicable to various networking systems crossing multiple heterogeneous domains. The network service discovery system proposed in this paper is embedded in the service-oriented Grid architecture and can be implemented within the current Grid service discovery framework.","PeriodicalId":226255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA '07)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129807756","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}

Progressively, the various co-existing meanings of this word have shifted from describing Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Web Services concepts to newer ideas such as Business Services and Service Oriented Business Application (SOBA). Consequently, use of the term \"services\" currently implies different connotations to different audiences, with all inferred meanings only vaguely understood by business researchers and decision-makers outside the IT industry. Something similar occurs with the words \"component\" and \"componentization\" which has both IT and business connotations. Business components have recently been proposed and used in modeling enterprises and industries. On the other hand, software and application components have also become very popular with the advent of Service Component Architecture standardization and related efforts. In this paper, we aim to provide a preliminary definition for Business Services and Business Components while also describing how they are different from their related IT siblings.

In particular, the possibility of composing already implemented Web services in order to provide a new functionality is an interesting approach for building distributed applications and business processes. The possibility of dynamically composing web services is also apparent. Current approaches address to this point, but they do not adopt established specifications, like WS-BPEL, as they usually propose modifications in the rules of business process specifications by imposing more difficulties to implement the system. This paper proposes a new approach for improving policy-driven web service adaptability through a semantics modification in the invocation primitive, whilst it keeps the syntax unaffected. Hence, programmers may define dynamic Web service compositions without changing the source code. The approach was applied to a loan approval system in order to illustrate it.","PeriodicalId":226255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA '07)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131131497","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}
