It can be observed that from the offered facilities for certain products, just a very small percent is used by users for reasons such as the difficulty in understanding the technical guide that accompanies the product. The utilization of specialty terms makes it difficult the understanding of the 'how to use' instructions. In this article, we want to realize a software program that permits the user, presumably not having programming knowledge, to describe the functionality of a product from a certain category of products.

An innovative framework for the management of server services at various sites across a communication network is presented. It consists of a better organization of queries' plan and data allocation to server, considering the group and query mobility along with the dependency of servers. Nowadays servers' ability to work semi autonomously, in regards to the decision of the appropriate query plan and the provision of the effective data location, plays a significant role to the query and network performance. Our objective is to minimize the communication and execution cost of the query plan for the dependent servers (when the query can not be completed in the starting servers) servers having query and group mobility. Data Mining methods are applied to reduce the dependent servers' external queries. A set of direct executing methods for starting the query server enforces the semi-autonomous server process. Simulation results are provided.

This paper introduced concept of modularity business process. High modular business processes have properties of encapsulation and plug-and-play, which make business process more flexible and responsible to environment change. We also proposed a mechanism model of business process modularity and hypothesizes based on modular system theory and transaction cost economics. Diversity of customer demand and supplier specialization will lead to modular design of business process. Physical assets specificity, human assets specificity and procedure assets specificity of business process will decrease the attractiveness of modularity business process. Empirical results support these hypothesizes.

Still, requirements and software design are often confused with one another. We provide a new (partial) explanation for this phenomenon, based on the insight that representations of concepts related to requirements and software design, respectively, may sometimes look very similar. This does not mean, however, that the requirements and design concepts are the same. So, we should distinguish requirements from their representations and, analogously, software design from its representation. Then it is easier to clearly distinguish requirements and software design as well.

The ability of service providers to adequately describe and publish their Web services is a critical factor to the success in their discovery by interested parties. To date, most of the efforts made towards this direction have mainly focused on the use of ontologies. However, the resulted approaches impose centralized control of the ontology vocabularies and/or schemas, suffer from considerable interoperability issues and require complex, heavyweight technologies. In this paper we present our ongoing work on a peer-to-peer platform supporting publication and discovery of Web services in a socially intelligent manner. The novelty of our approach is that it combines the P2P architecture with the principles of the social Web to enable autonomous, decentralized semantic annotation and maintenance of Web service descriptions, through the collective intelligence emerging by the social networking interactions between service providers and requesters.

During the project we were working on physical conflicts occurred in a multiagent system. In order to resolve the problem many different conflict resolution strategies were examined and many proposed solutions found. In this paper we explore conflicts as well as their causes and possible solutions. Based upon this research we implemented a centralized solution and added a reactive agent in the database in order to avoid conflict situations and efficiently allocate a set of resources.

In view of inevitable redundancies in local data sources in heterogeneous information integration systems, a multi-copy join optimization method (MuCoJo for short) based on a genetic algorithm is proposed. MuCoJo can choose appropriate redundant copies of the tables to participate a joint query and optimizes the join order of it. By using the redundant copies, MuCoJo enlarges the search space so that the concurrent executions of different local sources can be best used. Meanwhile, MuCoJo could take advantage of redundancies features in such systems and get faster joint query response time. Experimental results show the computational efficiency of the MuCoJo and its necessity in information integration system. Moreover, during the population initialization, controlling invalid solutions can reduce the search space effectively at the cost of initialization time consuming.

An effective coordination mechanism is central to building large distributed systems. Overcoming limitations of a coordination language can be a major challenge for developers of distributed systems. This paper presents a novel coordination mechanism based on code mobility. In this mechanism coordination is realised by exchanging pieces of mobile code between coordinated entities. This approach overcomes constrains of a statically defined coordination language by allowing coordinated entities to dynamically redefine coordination rules and use all the power of a programming language to express such rules. This helps to implement sophisticated and efficient data retrieval and processing algorithms and also reduce network traffic. The paper also discusses a non-language based coordination framework specially developed to support coordination based on mobile code and a pragmatic solution to the problem of protecting hosts from potentially harmful mobile code. A proof of concept implementation demonstrates the feasibility and applicability of the proposal.

Exploits based on data processing bugs are delivered through crafted data that seems to follow a data format, yet is altered in some way to trigger a specific bug during processing, eg. in order to execute contained malicious code. Decomposing crafted data according to the purported data format and the function of its components that are not format-compliant is a step towards understanding the delivery mechanism of an exploit and fixing the vulnerable application. This paper demonstrates the use of bitstream segment graphs for describing the structure of exploits on the example of the TIFF Jailbreak exploit for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch with firmware 1.1.1.
