The book presents an in-depth model for evaluating the design and efficiency of a complex data-sharing system, characterized by multiple loosely connected transaction-processing nodes that share a common database at the disk level. It explores the intricacies of data management and the interactions between nodes, providing insights into optimizing performance in such environments.
Constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Workshops on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC/ServiceWave 2009, held in Stockholm, Sweden. This book includes papers of workshops on trends in enterprise architecture research (TEAR 2009), SOA, globalization, people, and work (SG-PAW), service oriented computing in logistics, and more.
This volume contains the proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Service- Oriented Computing (ICSOC 2006), which took place in Chicago, USA, December 4–7, 2006. ICSOC 2006 followed on the success of three previous editions of the International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing in Amsterdam, Netherlands (2005), New York City, USA (2004) and Trento, Italy (2003). ICSOC is recognized as the main conference for service-oriented computing research that covers the entire spectrum from theoretical and foundational results to empirical evaluations as well as practical and industrial experiences. ICSOC 2006 built on that foundation while - troducing several innovations in furthering this goal. Service-oriented computing brings together ideas and technologies from many d- ferent fields in an evolutionary manner to address research challenges such as service composition, discovery, integration, monitoring and management of services, service quality and security, methodologies for supporting service development, governances in their evolution, as well as their overall life-cycle management. ICSOC 2006 strengthened the link to two important communities, Software Engineering and Grid Computing, with well-known leaders from these communities serving in important organizing roles such as general chairs in shaping the conference.
