Based on a Web service quality model, this paper proposes a Web services automatic composition approach that can enable end user to compose a Web service automatically. After modeling Web services with rules and eliminating semantics conflicts among model parameters, a deduced network is computed with the inputs given by end user. With the deduced network, we can find the composition plan whose QoS is optimal

Because Web services provided by different providers may be different in quality of service (QoS) so it needs to select Web services for composite service dynamically. This paper gives methods that are built on the base of QoS description and addresses the issue of selecting Web services for the purpose of their composition. The effect of service level and workload on QoS is illustrated. Based on Web service QoS model, several methods for dynamic service selection are discussed. Experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of these methods

Existing design methods used for developing Web-centric systems are mostly adapted from methods for designing traditional software systems. Web-centric systems however differ from traditional software systems, in terms of both organizational and technical characteristics. Effective design methods for Web-centric systems need to address these characteristics specific to Web-centric systems. This paper proposes a design method for Web-centric systems. The design process comprises three steps: prototyping, information modeling and system architecture design. The method is differentiated from existing design methods in that the design process commences from user interface prototyping. Information modeling activities are further enhanced in this method. To cope with the complexity of Web systems, each design step is partitioned into both structural modeling and behavioral modeling. The design method is illustrated by applying the method to the design of a commercial Web application

Content location is a challenging problem in decentralized peer-to-peer systems. And query-flooding algorithm in Gnutella system suffers from poor scalability and considerable network overhead. Currently, based on the Small-world pattern in the P2P system, a piggyback algorithm called interest-based shortcuts gets a relatively better performance. However, we believe it could be improved and become even more efficient, and a cluster-based algorithm is put forward. The main concern of our algorithm is to narrow the search scope in content location. Resource shortcuts are grouped into clusters according to their contents, and resource queries are only searched in related shortcut clusters, so that the search efficiency is guaranteed and the network bandwidth is saved. In our experiment, cluster-based algorithm uses only 40% shortcuts roughly, compared with the former algorithm, and the same success rate is achieved. At the end, we refer the relationship between cluster-based algorithm and semantic overlay networks, which is a potential kind of overlay in the future

The agility of modeling business process simulation (BPS) is required by virtual enterprises. Firstly with some new concepts, such as the atomic business process simulation model (BPSM) and the business process simulation federation (BPSF) etc., a frame of business process simulation model for virtual enterprises (VE-BPSM) is presented. Business processes of a member enterprise are classified into three groups: internal, external and hybrid event-triggered processes. The inter-relationship among them is discussed. To facilitate the business process simulation model for a member enterprise (ME-BPSM) to be reused, every external-event-triggered BPSM or every hybrid event-triggered BPSM is built as an atomic business process simulation model (atomic-BPSM). The VE-BPSM can be built as a BPSF through combining atomic-BPSM of member enterprises, so the agility of modeling BPS for a virtual enterprise could be achieved. Finally, an HLA-based method of developing a VE-BPSM is discussed

With the industry's efforts in promoting the use of Web services, a huge number of Web services are being developed for the Web. To improve the service provider's competition advantage, it is necessary to support QoS-aware service discovery mechanism as well as the corresponding measurement system. In this paper we present a QoS measurement framework based on the DAML-QoS ontology, together with the measurement code generator. The DAML-QoS ontology is designed to specify QoS constraints for Web services. It works as a complement to DAML-S to provide QoS-aware service discovery. This paper focuses on its measurement framework to check the service provider's runtime compliance with the advertised service level. The code generator helps to generate the measurement code according to the DAML-QoS specification. This ontology level specification tries to reduce the service's integration complexity and achieve better interoperability, automation and extensibility

The paper proposes a Petri net extended with stochastic priced transition and discusses the possible application domain of this new type of Petri net. Firstly we define stochastic priced Petri net (SPPN) by adding a stochastic price to transition. Then we use SPPN to establish the economic model for a simple business process and make profit analysis. Finally we draw a conclusion that using SPPN in business process modeling is feasible
