4th European Conference, ESOCC 2015, Taormina, Italy, September 15-17, 2015, Proceedings
Infotext: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud computing, ESOCC 2015, held in Taormina, Sicily, Italy, in September 2015. The 13 research papers, three industry papers, and two work-in-progress papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on cloud technology, service composition, software development and cloud technology, cloud computing, and industry track
This book presents a novel vision of Smart Cities centered on a value-driven architecture, highlighting the limitations of current concepts. It argues for a developmental approach that integrates not only physical infrastructure but also information technology and human infrastructure, emphasizing the need for synergy between the Internet of Things (IoT) and social computing. The text is organized into five parts. The first offers a comprehensive introduction and a cohesive vision that connects all necessary components for realizing Smart Cities. Part II focuses on the provisioning and governance of Smart City systems and infrastructures. Part III delves into core technologies and enablers essential for managing the social aspects of the Smart City platform, blending state-of-the-art research with innovative industrial efforts. Part IV outlines a roadmap for achieving Cyber-Human Smart Cities, detailing the technological advancements required to evolve beyond current models. The book provides a thorough overview of the latest developments in IoT and social computing research, proposing a research roadmap for their closer integration within the Smart City context. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers and graduate students.
The content covers various aspects of enterprise business process management, including architecture, technology, and standards. It discusses tools like BizTalk Server and Windows Workflow Foundation, and delves into monitoring and mining techniques for collaborative business processes. The text explores service composition, emphasizing the importance of adaptation and automation, and presents methodologies for structured service composition while isolating process-level concerns. Investigations into process models and languages reveal insights on process equivalence and soundness, particularly regarding lazy activities and BPMN's suitability for modeling. Dynamic process management and semantic correctness in adaptive systems are also addressed, alongside frameworks for developing horizontal protocols in open BPM systems. The annotation includes proposals for integrating business processes, enhancing BPM tools, and introducing case management. It highlights experiences in IT support for release management in the automotive industry and presents methods for verifying workflows, optimizing exception handling, and managing process variants. Additionally, it discusses verification of BPEL workflows under authorization constraints and the generation of compatible WS-BPEL partner processes. The content concludes with a focus on behavioral techniques for workflow abstraction and matching, alongside formal verification of web se
Drei international renommierte Experten veranschaulichen den Zusammenhang zwischen Prinzipien, Standardarchitekturen und praxisrelevanten Problemstellungen aus den Bereichen Web Services, Peer-to-Peer, Workflow u. a. In dem Buch wird erstmals der „State of the Art“ in der Forschung industrierelevant und verständlich umgesetzt. Es richtet sich an Studenten, Praktiker und Software-Projektmanager, die für Design und Entwicklung von großen verteilten Softwaresystemen verantwortlich sind oder sich für deren Einsatz in ihrem Arbeitsbereich interessieren.
