The features of context-aware applications and services should be reflected in life cycle management. Furthermore, standard practices of the mobile network industry must be taken into account for any serious effort to deal with this issue.

The paper first looks shortly at the intrinsic drivers of individual tariffs both from sociological and economic perspectives. It proceeds with a bargaining model for individual tariffs which is centered on user and supplier behaviours. The user, instead of being fully rational, has \"bounded rationality\" and his behaviours are not only subject to economic constraints but also influenced by social needs. Individual tariffs are decided through interactions between the user and the supplier. Game theory is employed to provide structured analyses of the interactions and tariff design. Preliminary results, which are based on a music training service, show that individual tariffs can be beneficial to both the user and the supplier","PeriodicalId":437194,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC'06)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128485818","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}

More in detail, attendees will consider: (i) basic technologies and standards for Web Service invocation and description (SOAP, UDDI, WSDL, ...); (ii) advanced technologies and standards for orchestration and inter-organizational process enactment, in particular WSBPEL and WS-CDL; (iii) models for Web Service composition; (iv) formal tools for both data-centric and process-centric synthesis, including query reformulation a'la Data Integration, transition-systems based formalisms, trace-based formalisms, logics of programs and processes.

Loose coupling is a cornerstone for service-oriented architecture (SOA). Service contracts enable loose coupling, because they hide service-internal details from the outside world behind a facade. In the Web services world, the service contract is commonly understood as a WSDL document possibly decorated with WS-policy annotations. Such formal XML description is not immediately useful to business people. This paper proposes the notion of a service metadata document that contains human-readable business aspects of the service in addition to technical artifacts. Stakeholders at the business and technical level work collaboratively on the service metadata document and use it as a common framework for discussion. We see the service contract as a composition of functional metadata and a set of policies, such as security constraints, access restrictions for user groups, transport and service level agreements, charging, etc. For example, enterprises often have different security requirements when a service is consumed from within the company than when it is consumed by an external business partner. The service lifecycle is initiated by business people on the basis of a service contract template; the first step is a high-level description of the desired service characteristics. In an iterative process the document is then successively refined as it percolates from the management level to service architect and other stakeholders and as business requirements are tested against technical realities. Technical artifacts (WSDL, XSD, etc.) are added to the service contract and could be placed in a registry so that the service is visible to other departments or external partners. The clear distinction between service metadata and policies also helps maintaining a consistent model over runtime WSDL proliferation. Typically, policies are enforced by intermediaries, such as XML firewalls, enterprise service bus (ESB) or other WS-infrastructure. Each such intermediary offers a virtual service endpoint to the actual service implementation. Because different policies may be enforced at each endpoint and because of the different locations, the WSDL for each of these virtual service endpoints is different","PeriodicalId":437194,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC'06)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128902901","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}

On the conceptual side, business process management helps model such applications. On the practical side, workflow systems help implement such systems. We propose the navigation plan concept for order processing. Business steps in order processing are mapped into process algebra and composed into navigation plans. On the practical side, navigation plans are directly executed in the RiverFish architecture, thus guaranteeing the properties predicted by process algebra. Thus a well-defined order processing application is implemented into a reliable cooperative information system. A widely used application (the DECA system for requesting business TaxID involving several government agencies) demonstrates the usefulness of the navigation plan concept in practice","PeriodicalId":437194,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC'06)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132383844","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}
