This proposal focuses on how CCBF can help to address linkage in Cloud Computing implementations. This leads to the development of Business Integration as a Service 1.0 (BIaaS 1.0) allowing different services, roles and functionalities to work together in a linkage-oriented framework where the outcome of one service can be input to another, without the need to translate between domains or languages. BIaaS 2.0 aims to allow automation, enhanced security, advanced risk modelling and improved collaboration between processes in BIaaS 1.0. The benefits from adopting BIaaS 1.0 and developing BIaaS 2.0 are illustrated using a case study from the University of Southampton and several collaborators including IBM US. BIaaS 2.0 can work with mainstream technologies such as scientific workflows, and the proposal and demonstration of BIaaS 2.0 will be aimed to certainly benefit industry and academia.","PeriodicalId":231641,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 8th International Conference on e-Business Engineering","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116228045","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}

Since librarians can not fully realize the needs of readers, many libraries provide the book recommendation service such that the readers can recommend the books to the libraries. However, the readers may only recommend the books in accordance with their own interest, resulting in the recommended books not meeting the needs of other readers. To facilitate decision-making in book acquisition, this paper used the social network to establish the relationships between the recommender and his/her related readers via the historical circulation records. Upon the social network, this paper uses social computing to evaluate the representative degree of the recommender, and then rank the recommended books. The retrospective and empirical studies are performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed ranking system by the spearman¡¦s rank correlation coefficient. That is, the ranking of the recommended books by the proposed system is very like the two rankings of these books from the analysis of the historical circulation records and the librarian.","PeriodicalId":231641,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 8th International Conference on e-Business Engineering","volume":"87 3-4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131669147","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 several use cases, the advantages of the canonical data model are demonstrated. Our work is based on excerpts from realistic input schemas and provides a concrete, ideal canonical data model as a reference for further research.","PeriodicalId":231641,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 8th International Conference on e-Business Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125692639","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}

Real-time services can choose some time inside of a large interval for execution reservation. This property gives services more chance to be accepted by the schedulability admission control. However, the traditional way of advance reservation on fixed schedules does not take advantage of this flexibility. In this paper, a reorganization algorithm is presented to relocate existing reservations if necessary to accommodate new requests that have a less flexibility. Simulation results show that reorganization can enhance the acceptance ratio of real-time requests in almost all situations. When jobs have flexible real-time requirements, acceptance ratio can be greatly enhanced.","PeriodicalId":231641,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 8th International Conference on e-Business Engineering","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126566360","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 process of information creation involves many human interactions such as tagging, selecting and grouping Human interacted data creation assigns abundant semantic to data. Multiple attributes have been added to data upon data creation. Some of these attributes are related to resource access control policy. A social network may not want its information open totally, therefore, each social network has to have its own resource access policy. This paper proposes an architecture for users to share information cross social networks in a secure, effective and efficient way. The proposed architecture also let social network decide which kind of information to be shared.

These technologies commonly known as Cloud Compute Model are built upon an efficient and reliable dynamic resource allocation system. Maintaining sufficient resources to meet peak workloads while minimizing cost determines to a large extend the profitability of a Cloud service provider. Traditional centralized approach of resource provisioning with global optimization and statistical strategies can be complex, difficult to scale, computational intensive and often non-traceable which adds to the cost and efficiency of Cloud operation, especially in industrial environments. As we have learned in real life, the most efficient economic system is the one that provides individuals with incentives for their own decisions. It is also true for computing systems. In this paper, we present an architecture for dynamic resource provisioning via distributed decisions. We will illustrate our approach with a Cloud based scenario, in which each physical resource makes its own utilization decision based on its own current system and workload characteristics, and a light-weight provisioning optimizer with a replaceable routing algorithm for resource provisioning and scaling. This approach enables resource provisioning system to be more scalable, reliable, traceable, and simple to manage. In an industrial setting, the importance of these characteristics often exceeds the goal of squeezing the absolute last CPU cycles of the underlying physical resources.","PeriodicalId":231641,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 8th International Conference on e-Business Engineering","volume":"151 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125893433","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 propose a generalized approach to promote the automation degree in runtime deployment descriptors construction. We view deployment descriptor schemas as models and create transformation relations between schema elements by a comprehensive matching method. Transformation code, in form of XSLT, can be generated base on parameterized templates.
