A pluggable middleware architecture for developing context-aware mobile applications

The proliferation of powerful smartphone devices provides a great opportunity for context-aware mobile applications becoming mainstream. However, we argue that conventional software development techniques suffer because of the added complexity required for collecting and managing context information. This paper presents a component-based middleware architecture which facilitates the development and deployment of context-aware applications via reusable components. The main contribution of this approach is the combination of a development methodology with the middleware architecture, which together bring significant value to developers of context-aware applications. Further contributions include the following: The methodology utilizes separation of concerns, thus decreasing the developmental cost and improving the productivity. The design and implementation of context-aware applications are also eased via the use of reusable components, called context plug-ins. Finally, the middleware architecture facilitates the deployment and management of the context plug-ins in a resource-aware manner. The proposed methodology and middleware architecture are evaluated both quantitatively and qualitatively.

A policy-oriented secured service for the e-commerce applications in cloud

The communication process is very easy today due to the rapid growth of information technology. In addition, the development of cloud computing technology makes it easier than earlier days by facilitating the large volume of data exchange anytime and from anywhere in the world. E-businesses are successfully running today due to the development of cloud computing technology. Specifically in cloud computing, cloud services are providing enormous support to share the resources and data in an efficient way with less cost expenses for businessmen. However, security is an essential issue for cloud users and services. For this purpose, many security policies have been introduced by various researchers for enhancing the security in e-commerce applications. However, the available security policies are also failing to provide the secured services in the society and e-commerce applications. To overcome this disadvantage, we propose a new policy-oriented secured service model for providing the security of the services in the cloud. The proposed model is the combination of a trust aware policy scheduling algorithm and an effective and intelligent re-encryption scheme. Here, the dynamic trust aware policy-oriented service for allocating the cloud user’s request by the cloud service provider and an effective and re-encryption scheme is used that uses intelligent agent for storing the data in the cloud database securely. The proposed model assures the scalability, reliability, and security for the stored e-commerce data and service access.

A robust e-commerce service: Light-weight secure mail-order mechanism

Mail order systems offer a convenient purchase service, in which buyers need not visit the store physically and instead choose what they want via a table of contents. Without a third party to play the roles of verifier and recorder, however, buyers face a potential problem of being cheated by a malicious seller. Thus, we aim to develop a mail order system over the Internet that can guarantee user anonymity and secrecy during the transaction process. The low computation of the mutual authentication between the parties involved contributes to the practicality of this new system, while the correctness of this process can be confirmed by the BAN logic model.     

Complex service design: A virtual enterprise architecture for logistics service

This paper presents an interdisciplinary systems approach to service modeling, design and deployment. The study is based on a longitudinal case study of the development process of a complex logistic service system based on an advanced logistics model. The case examines the development of a Virtual Enterprise Architecture (VEA) for an automatic high-speed transport and sorting system applied in airports for baggage handling. The study traces the evolution of the system from the early conceptual phases to a successful commercial service deployed at Changi, Singapore Airport. The study is conducted using a retrospective analysis of the case using a design science research approach. The paper evaluates and discusses the issues of creating and designing a new complex logistics service, distinct from the physical product, based on an advanced discrete event-based simulation model. The paper concludes by presenting a generalized and validated conceptual framework for a VEA based on an advanced simulation model. The paper thus contributes to the field of service systems and service management by identifying a novel approach to effective design of a new service.

A distributed architecture for efficient Web service discovery

Although the definition of service-oriented architecture (SOA) included the presence of a service registry from the beginning, the first implementations (e.g., UDDI) did not really succeed mainly because of security and governance issues. This article tackles the problem by introducing DREAM (Distributed Registry by ExAMple): a publish/subscribe-based solution to integrate existing, different registries, along with a match-making approach to ease the publication and retrieval of services. DREAM fosters the interoperability among registry technologies and supports UDDI, ebXML Registry, and other registries. The publish/subscribe paradigm allows service providers to decide the services they want to publish, and requestors to be informed of the services that satisfy their interests. As for the match-making, DREAM supports different ways to evaluate the matching between published and required services. Besides presenting the architecture of DREAM and the different match-making opportunities, the article also describes the experiments conducted to evaluate proposed solutions.     

A layered architecture for flexible Web service invocation

Web service composition is emerging as an interesting approach to integrate business applications and create intra‐organizational business processes. Single Web services are combined to create a complex Web service that will realize the process business logic. Once the process is created, it is executed by an orchestration engine that invokes individual Web services in the correct order. However, Web services composing the workflow sometimes become unavailable during the run‐time phase, blocking process execution. This paper describes an architecture that allows the flexible orchestration of business processes. With this approach, Web services composing the process can be automatically substituted with other compatible Web services during process execution. A methodology is defined to evaluate Web service compatibility based on interface matching, in order to select substitutable Web services. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The design of a cloud-based tracker platform based on system-of-systems service architecture

Devices embedded with position tracking facilities are now widely available, such as smartphones, smartwatches, vehicle location trackers, etc. However, data mining and advanced analytics are rarely bundled with these devices that limits their utility. In this paper, we present the design of a generic, programmable position tracking platform, namely CQtracker. In particular, this platform is incorporated with a cloud-based engine of advanced analytics. CQtracker is constructed based on a concept of system-of-systems service architecture to deliver data-system-as-a-service. It is designed for the consumption by a variety of spatio-temporal applications. Spatio-temporal data exhibit strong heterogeneous patterns, data sparseness and distribution skewness. Hence, they are difficult to analyze. CQtracker reveals relationships and structures from these data by self-regularized time-varying dynamic Bayesian networks. In addition, a Bayesian parameter estimation approach is applied to an epidemic model for outbreak predictions. Sample applications are presented in this paper, in which CQtracker successfully reveals the evolution of time-varying structures from traffic trajectories.
