Computer science is entering a new generation. The previous generation was based on abstracting from hardware. The emerging generation comes from abstracting from software and sees all resources as services in a service-oriented architecture (SOA). In a world of services, it is the service that counts for a customer and not the software or hardware components that implement the service. Service-oriented architectures are rapidly becoming the dominant computing paradigm. However, current SOA solutions are still restricted in their application context to in-house solution of companies. A service web will have billions of services. While service orientation is widely acknowledged for its potential to revolutionize the world of computing by abstracting form underlying hardware and software layers, that success depends on resolving fundamental challenges that SOA does not address currently. The mission of Service Web 3.0 is to provide solutions to integration and search that will enable the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) revolution on a worldwide scale. Hereby we must focus on three major areas where we need to extend current approaches towards service orientation:
计算机科学正在进入新时代。上一代基于对硬件的抽象。新兴一代来自于对软件的抽象,并将所有资源视为面向服务的体系结构(SOA)中的服务。在服务的世界中,对客户来说重要的是服务,而不是实现服务的软件或硬件组件。面向服务的体系结构正迅速成为占主导地位的计算范式。然而,当前的SOA解决方案在其应用程序上下文中仍然局限于公司的内部解决方案。一个服务网将拥有数十亿个服务。虽然面向服务被广泛认为具有从底层硬件和软件层进行抽象来彻底改变计算世界的潜力,但这种成功取决于解决SOA目前没有解决的基本挑战。Service Web 3.0的使命是为集成和搜索提供解决方案,从而在全球范围内实现面向服务的体系结构(Service Oriented Architecture, SOA)革命。因此,我们必须把重点放在三个主要领域,在这些领域我们需要扩展当前面向服务的方法:

Web service-oriented Grid is becoming a standard for achieving loosely coupled distributed computing. Grid services could easily be specified with web-service based interfaces. In this paper we first envisage a realistic Grid market with players such as end-users, brokers and service providers participating co-operatively with an aim to meet requirements and earn profit. End-users wish to use functionality of Grid services by paying the minimum possible price or price confined within a specified budget, brokers aim to maximise profit whilst establishing a SLA (Service Level Agreement) and satisfying end-user needs and at the same time resisting the volatility of service execution time and availability. Service providers aim to develop price models based on end-user or broker demands that will maximise their profit. In this paper we focus on developing stochastic approaches to end-user workflow scheduling that provides QoS guarantees by establishing a SLA. We also develop a novel 2-stage stochastic programming technique that aims at establishing a SLA with end-users regarding satisfying their workflow QoS requirements. We develop a scheduling (workload allocation) technique based on linear programming that embeds the negotiated workflow QoS into the program and model Grid services as generalised queues. This technique is shown to outperform existing scheduling techniques that don't rely on real-time performance information.

Growth in the mobile services industry has remarkably increased in the number of mobile services provided, and present methods of service provision have proven insufficient to guide users efficiently to the services they need. To solve this problem, a task-oriented menu, which enables users to search for services by "what they want to do" instead of by "name of category", has been proposed. Construction of such a task-oriented menu is based on a task ontology modeling method which supports the description of user activity such as task execution and the solving of obstacles encountered during the task. This paper discusses a task ontology-based modeling method which supports the description of users' activity and related knowledge such as how to solve problems that occurs on the users and prevention method for accidents. Models described by our method contribute to checking, designing and improving mobile Internet services.

Finding and keeping track of other researchers' publication lists is an essential activity for every researcher, because they often contain citations not found elsewhere and may provide access to information, such as slides and talks, which can help other researchers keep abreast of state-of- the-art knowledge and technology. There are many different ways to generate publication list web pages, and a researcher may have several different versions of a publication list on the Web because he holds different positions. So it is difficult to find the correct publication list web page from the top results retrieved from search engines, especially when we only know the name of the researcher. Very few works have addressed the problem. In this paper, we propose a system called the "publication list Web page finder" (PLF), which can automatically find the publication list Web pages for a given researcher's name. The PLF system is an automatic and language-independent system, and its main idea is that publication list Web pages often contain many citations about a specific researcher, so the system uses those citations as clues to find out publication list web pages. Our experimental results show that the PLF system outperforms other approaches, especially when a researcher has multiple publication list Web pages.

E-finance industry is rapidly transforming and evolving toward more dynamic, flexible and intelligent solutions. The proposed e-finance portal provides an integrated enterprise platform for retail banking services as well as for other financial services. In the meantime, the proposed multilevel solution will keep monitoring and analyzing the huge volume of dynamic information flowing through the portal. In this way, the portal is able to find the useful knowledge for refining business processes and providing personalized services, and detect hidden financial problems as well.

While it is generally acknowledged that domain ontologies can significantly improve knowledge management systems (KMS) within organizations and among distributed web communities, we have little evidence of operational ontology-based KMS and their practical utility in real settings in the literature. We describe here the INTEROP KMap, a fully implemented, semantically indexed, competency management system, used to facilitate research collaboration and coordination of a Network of Excellence (NoE) on Enterprise Interoperability. Since the main highlighted advantages of ontologies are improved information access and interoperability, our aim in this paper is to give experimental support to these claims. We provide a summary description and usage data on the KMap, as well as experiments to quantify the added value of semantic search wrt traditional document ranking measures.

This paper is based on the theory of Finite State Automata (FSA's), models a web service as a FSA, extends WSDL for conceptually describing the behaviors of Web services, and introduces the concept of Temporal Logic of Actions (short for TLA) to describe and specify the behavior of a service in a formal way.

We investigate the problem of identifying both product properties and opinion words for sentences in a unified process when only a much small labeled corpus is available. Naive Bayesian method is used in this process. Specifically, considering the fact that product properties and opinion words usually co-occur with high frequency in product review articles, a cross- training method is proposed to bootstrap both of them, in which the two sub-tasks are boosted by each other iteratively. Experiment results show that with a much small labeled corpus cross-training could produce both product properties and opinion words which are very close to what Naive Bayesian Classifiers could do with a large labeled corpus..

As the Web becomes the major information source of our daily activities, tools for finding various information on it are indispensable. This paper addresses theWeb retrieval of instance-attribute information, e.g., the contact addresses and research interests (attributes) of faculty and students (instances). This kind of information need is very common but cannot be directly supported by current keywordmatching-based search engines. People commonly use a two-phase search: First, locate the candidate pages, e.g., a faculty page, and then search within them for the desired information, e.g., contact information. Based on the stimulation of such human search behavior, we design a retrieval engine, upon general search engines, to help find the instance-attribute information from the Web. The experiment on several faculty members has shown the feasibility of the approach.

In this paper, we propose two novel web-based metrics for semantic similarity computation between words. Both metrics use a web search engine in order to exploit the retrieved information for the words of interest. The first metric considers only the page counts returned by a search engine, based on the work of [1]. The second downloads a number of the top ranked documents and applies "widecontext" and "narrow-context" metrics. The proposed metrics work automatically, without consulting any human annotated knowledge resource. The metrics are compared with WordNet-based methods. The metrics' performance is evaluated in terms of correlation with respect to the pairs of the commonly used Charles - Miller dataset. The proposed "wide-context" metric achieves 71% correlation, which is the highest score achieved among the fully unsupervised metrics in the literature up to date.
