Creating Custom Containers With Generative Techniques, Gabriel A. Moreno Sep 2006

Creating Custom Containers With Generative Techniques, Gabriel A. Moreno

Gabriel A. Moreno

Component containers are a key part of mainstream component technologies, and play an important role in separating nonfunctional concerns from the core component logic. This paper addresses two different aspects of containers. First, it shows how generative programming techniques, using AspectC++ and metaprogramming, can be used to generate stubs and skeletons without the need for special compilers or interface description languages. Second, the paper describes an approach to create custom containers by composing different non-functional features. Unlike component technologies such as EJB, which only support a predefined set of container types, this approach allows different combinations of non-functional features to …

Development Of A Design Environment For End Users To Build The Target-Relevant Decision Support Tools In Rural Industry, Shah Jahan Miah Jan 2006

Development Of A Design Environment For End Users To Build The Target-Relevant Decision Support Tools In Rural Industry, Shah Jahan Miah

Dr Shah Jahan Miah

Decision support systems (DSS) developed by end users have had limited success in rural operations. This paper will discuss the development stages of a new tool for improving the DSS development process in the rural industries. The object of this project is to develop an end user enabled design environment (EUEDE) which will allow a non-technical computer user to build target-relevant decision support tools. The resultant design environment aims to allow the end user to re-use and share their knowledge within a specific business context. This approach will facilitate flexibility to build relevant DSS’s for an end user’s specific decision …

Service Grid For Business Computing, Zongwei Luo, Jia Zhang, Rosa Badia Dec 2005

Service Grid For Business Computing, Zongwei Luo, Jia Zhang, Rosa Badia

Jia Zhang

In this chapter, we will introduce an advanced topic of grid computing – Web services-oriented grid for business computing. Web services represent a new concept of computing that enables diverse and distributed resources to communicate with each other based upon a set of standards. We will discuss what values the marriage of Web services and grid computing can bring to business computing and the current state of the art of the field. The layout of the chapter is as follows: Grid computing overview; Web services orientation; Service oriented grid; Integrated service platform for integration; and Challenges and considerations.

Privacy Issues Of Applying Rfid In Retail Industry, Haifei Li, Patrick C.K. Hung, Jia Zhang, David Ahn Dec 2005

Privacy Issues Of Applying Rfid In Retail Industry, Haifei Li, Patrick C.K. Hung, Jia Zhang, David Ahn

Jia Zhang

This case study describes the privacy issues of applying Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in the retail industry. With the dramatic price drop of RFID tags, it is possible that RFID be applied to individual items sold by a retailer. However, the RFID technology poses critical privacy challenges. In this study, we analyze the potential privacy issue of RFID utilization, and we propose a privacy authorization model aiming for precisely defining RFID privacy policies for the retail industry.

Auction-Based Pricing Model For Web Service Providers, Jia Zhang, Ning Zhang, Liang-Jie Zhang Dec 2005

Auction-Based Pricing Model For Web Service Providers, Jia Zhang, Ning Zhang, Liang-Jie Zhang

Jia Zhang

Applying auctions to Web services selection and invocation calls for examination due to the unique features of Web services, such as interoperable machine-to-machine interactions and reenterable bargaining services. In this paper we propose a formal model for Web services-based auctions. Examining one-sided sealed auction type, we prove mathematically that service requestors’ risk preferences could lead to different pricing strategies for service providers towards higher profit. We argue that Service Level Agreement (SLA) documents can be used to analyze service requestors’ preferences. On top of WS-Agreement, we propose a basic service requestor risk preference elicitation algorithm, as well as a historical …

A Mobile Agents-Based Approach To Test The Reliability Of Web Services, Jia Zhang Dec 2005

A Mobile Agents-Based Approach To Test The Reliability Of Web Services, Jia Zhang

Jia Zhang

The paradigm of web services has been transforming the internet from a repository of data into a repository of services, or so-called web services. As more and more web services are published on the internet, how to opt for an appropriate and trustworthy web service poses a big challenge. In this paper we propose a mobile agents-based approach that selects reliable web service components in a cost-effective manner.
