The secure and practical Internet voting protocols should have: privacy, completeness, soundness, unreusability, fairness, eligibility, and invariableness, universal verifiability, receipt-free, coercion-resistant. Research on the Internet voting protocol is focusing on the implementation of these properties without strong physical assumptions. In this paper, first, invariableness is proposed. Secondly, we analyze the typical protocols according to properties. Thirdly, we give an improvement of a famous Internet voting protocol. In the last we analyze it and prove that the improved protocol is receipt-free with Jonker-Vink receipt-freeness formal model.

Vector images are becoming more advanced and diffused on the Internet due to their unique characteristics over traditional raster images. As a W3C standard, SVG is a brand-new vector-based image format built on readable/searchable plain-text source code which inherited from XML technology, thus is suitable for Content-based image retrieval. CBIR is the application of computer vision to the image retrieval problem, which analyzes the actual contents of the images themselves rather than relying on annotations or keywords generated by human labor. Without textual descriptions or label information, successful retrieval of relevant images from large- scale image collections is a very interesting yet challenging task, so in this paper, we propose a prototype system based on SVG technology and emphasize the method of similarity measurement, also covers the implementation of the principles, which provides CBIR services.

The existing e-business systems were always analyzed and designed by the constraints of hardware and software environment. As it says, e-business systems are machine centered. So, it means a user has to do work abiding by a computer system. A computer system can't provide good services for a user. In this paper a human-centered e-business system analysis and modeling method is put forward in order to make an e-business system to provide high quality services for a user. The process and examples of this method are presented in the paper.

This paper presents a new approach for the management and engineering of IT-enabled services. Based on the analysis of several real world application scenarios, we propose a "deep structure" for IT- enabled service management. We introduce the concept of a business artifact in defining this deep structure. We leverage this deep structure in conjunction with representational state transfer (REST) to design and build a platform for service management. Our approach radically simplifies the management and engineering of IT-enabled services and provides a highly flexible and end-user configurable system for service management.

Aligning adequately business requirements and software functionality as well as achieving 'loose coupling' for service functionalities, are identified challenges relevant to service-oriented software design. Furthering previous related work, we propose in this paper an application design process that, taking the above challenges into account, addresses systematically and separately business requirements, the identification of (desirable) service functionalities, and their mapping onto technology platforms. With respect to service modeling, a communication pattern has been identified that is relevant and useful. As for the enforcement of social restrictions in the application functionality, semiotic norms are helpfully applied. And finally, 'loose coupling' is achieved in an orchestration-driven way.

To make service matchmaking more adaptive to various service requests and diverse services, an abstract service model called ASM-TL is proposed in this paper. ASM-TL provides a unified way to describing service capabilities. It can describe some important factors affecting service capabilities such as internal constraints, invocation constraints and operation interactions. Moreover, ASM-TL also lays a foundation for service reasoning by providing a process model, which represents states transition, message transferring and temporal properties of a service. Thus, treating service requests as temporal conditions, service matchmaking can be done through model checking and is more adaptive to various service requests and diverse services. ASM-TL has been applied to the problem solving environment for bioinformatics research. Analysis and applications show ASM-TL is effective to enable adaptive service matchmaking.

In this paper, we will introduce the concept of trustworthy Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for enabling intelligent and yet trustworthy pervasive service solutions. In pervasive services enabled e- logistics, trustworthiness establishment is usually under resource constraints, presenting challenges for mutual trust establishment as well as system dependability. In this paper we will present a trustworthy service framework. A demonstration of this framework is through realizing a smart marketing solution in a supermarket.

In an enterprise, managing and processing an electronic contract often involves a number of contract administrators and representatives in the enterprise, and their counter parts in their suppliers, business partners or their customers to carry out a large number of complex manual tasks in sequences during the life cycle of electronic contract. In most commercially available electronic contract management systems, users either waste a lot of their time in monitoring their task lists for their turns to act on their electronic contracts or most electronic contracts simply stay idle for most of the time if users only check their task lists once a while. In addition, these manual tasks are often tedious and may cause security faults. In this paper, we present a Web-based and email driven electronic contract management system that supports both internal and intra-enterprises workflows, and with multi-tenants hosting capability. This system enables a user to act on the next task in a sequence of tasks to process a particular electronic contract immediately after the other user has completed the previous task in the same sequence of tasks by sending out email notifications to alert or remind the user to take action on the task. We also describe several novel methods to automate some manual and tedious tasks, such as watermarking signature information on the signed electronic contract and life cycle management, in this paper. Most users have found their productivities improved, the electronic contract transaction time accelerated, contractual errors reduced and many other benefits by using this electronic contract management system in several IBM pilot programs.

The capability to compose services dynamically is a unique feature of Service-Oriented Computing (SOC), where services are published, discovered, and composed at runtime to deliver the expected service functionality to service clients. With dynamic composition, published services are searched and the most appropriate services are selected and reused at runtime. Also, newly published services can be reused without changing the client programs, so it yields an opportunity for dynamic adaptation. Despite the benefits, current programming languages, SOC platforms, business process modeling languages, and tools have a limitation on supporting the full dynamic composition. Rather, they require either manual composition or static binding of available services. In this paper, we present a design of a Dynamic Composition Handler on Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). We analyze different types of service compositions to clarity what dynamic composition really holds in SOC. Then, we present a design of Dynamic Composition Handler which consists of four elements; Invocation Listener, Service Router, Service Discoverer, and Interface Adapter. Using the framework, services can be discovered, selected, composed, and adapted at runtime. Since practical dynamic composition method depends on certain standard middleware platforms, we adopt ESB for our framework. We believe that our framework enables practical dynamic composition and realizes the whole benefit of it.
