Abstract:

In this paper we present an approach for reusing agent-based reasoning capabilities by making them available for invocation as Web services. In this way, we provide the missing link between the highly interoperable Web services and the autonomicity and intelligence of agent-based systems, so that the latter can be seamlessly integrated into the knowledge-rich SemanticWeb environment without being compromised by isolated communication platforms and languages or restricted to only one or just few reasoning formalisms. We have achieved this by extending the EMERALD framework for agent based reasoning with a Web service interface. Our approach is exemplified by the development of an online system for intelligent brokering of apartment rentals. The broker intelligence is captured as a defeasible knowledge base, while its problem solving process involves the invocation of third party defeasible reasoning Web services included into the EMERALD framework.

Abstract:

The grand vision of Tim Berners-Lee, director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) founded in 1994, of changing the non-semantic Web (Web 1.0, Web 2.0) to a semantic Web (Web 3.0) will connect all websites and make their systems interoperable. Though this system has not yet fully matured, the goal of utilizing the full potential of the web by creating an interoperable knowledge whole is not far from reach. With the emergence of various web technologies and innovative concepts of using the web to its fullest potential, the web is evolving rapidly toward intelligent web systems. Ideally, intelligent web systems will be a combination of a semantic web and various web services where computers can automatically process web contents and integrate their services. This paper reports on which web technologies and protocols succeeded in realizing the current web and speculates on the possible future web architecture and its social impact.

Abstract:

This article discusses the main security requirements for Web services and it describes how such security requirements are addressed by standards for Web services security recently developed or under development by various standardizations bodies. Standards are reviewed according to a conceptual framework that groups them by the main functionalities they provide. Covered standards include most of the standards encompassed by the original Web Service Security roadmap proposed by Microsoft and IBM in 2002 (Microsoft and IBM 2002). They range from the ones geared toward message and conversation security and reliability to those developed for providing interoperable Single Sign On and Identity Management functions in federated organizations. The latter include Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), WS-Policy, XACML, that is related to access control and has been recently extended with a profile for Web services access control; XKMS and WS-Trust; WS-Federation, Liberty Alliance and Shibboleth, that address the important problem of identity management in federated organizations. The article also discusses the issues related to the use of the standards and open research issues in the area of access control for Web services and innovative digital identity management techniques are outlined.

Abstract:

Abstract. In a world driven by the Internet and the readily accessible information it provides, there exists a high demand to easily discover and collect vast amounts of data available over several scientific domains and numerous data types. To add to the complexity, data is not only available through a plethora of data sources within disparate systems but also represents differing scales of space and time. One clear divide that exists in the world of information science and technology is the disjoint relationship between hydrologic and atmospheric science information. These worlds have long been split between observed time series at discrete geographical features in hydrologic science and modeled or remotely sensed coverages or grids over continuous space and time domains in atmospheric science. As more information becomes widely available through the Web, data are being served and published as Web services using standardized implementations and encodings. This paper illustrates a framework that utilizes Sensor Observation Services, Web Feature Services, Web Coverage Services, Catalog Services for the Web and GI-cat Services to index and discover data offered through different classes of information. This services infrastructure supports multiple servers of time series and gridded information, which can be searched through multiple portals, using a common set of time, space and concept query filters.

Abstract:

In this paper, a concept for developing and setting up virtual globes is discussed, which is based on principles of interoperable 3D spatial data infrastructures. Open geospatial industry standards for data and web services are merged with computer graphics technology to create a global coherent framework for accessing and displaying 3D assets. The author discusses how the scene graph concept can be used in a Geoweb environment. The Web 3D Service (W3DS) interface is used for streaming data in a distributed web architecture. Using scene graph data structures for encoding, transmitting, and displaying city- and landscape models imposes new requirements to geospatial analysis. The support of transformations between coordinate reference systems is essential in this context. Scene graph transformations are described in detail including matrix calculations. X3D is discussed as potential exchange format. Experiments were conducted using freely available data of OpenStreetMap and SRTM.

Abstract:

The rapid growth of sensor-enabled smartphone is driven phenomena of common interest to be observed while leveraging people mobility and their sensory data collection. This paradigm known as mobile crowdsensing has demonstrated its efficiency in data collection over the last years, enabling the monitoring of traffic, pollution, people density and more. However, it stills pose interesting challenges, with particular regard to the management of collected data, dealing with their presentation and standardization in an interoperable infrastructure. Current visions of future crowdsensing systems share common goal of integrating those data into powerful real time web services accessible and discoverable via the web. In this paper the authors dig into this axis and define several criteria that allow succeeding it. They pay particular attention to semantic description and discovery techniques and evaluate proposed approaches by defining their strengths and shortcomings. The authors also propose guidelines for future researches.

Abstract:

Acigna-G is an ongoing research project to develop a new hybrid Grid SaaS architecture. The CloudMRI SaaS service is built upon this architecture and is our proof-of-concept for the Diffusion Magnetic Resonance (dMRI) in Brain Imaging Field. The main objective of such architecture is to provide local (Browser) and remote (Grid) intensive computational capabilities, completely abstracted and offered through an intuitive interface to the SaaS user. The result is a combination of an in Browser Rendering and Computation engine, interoperable REST-SOAP Grid Services, and interoperable web-grid authentication mechanisms. Such architecture can allow new types of SaaS Services, specifically for the dMRI in Brain Imaging Field.

Abstract:

In today’s world, the internet and distributed computing make things so convenient that web services can be easily built and fetch from any platform. Web services are loosely coupled, interoperable, and heterogeneous hence they help to connect web applications of different languages. Interoperability is the major factor while transferring web services from one platform to another platform.WS-I basic profile 1.0/1.1 organization provides guidelines to achieve interoperability of web services at a basic level but still, issues arise at a complex level. In this paper, we have discussed and shown the result of two interoperability issues i.e. Date with Null value and Collection of Complex data types of web services using JAVA and.NET environment. In the first issue.NET treat NULL as a value type and JAVA treats NULL as reference type in date-time data type. So, whenever a JAVA client fetches a web service built in.NET it will show a parsable error. In the second issue, a web service data structure contains elements of any type. Whenever, a web service built with the ‘ArrayOfAnyType’ data structure, it can be easily mapped to a.NET client but not to JAVA client. Hence, a data type mismatch issue arises here. To resolve these inter-platform issues, we have used JADE-WSIG as middleware between web services and agent-technology.

Abstract:

Web Services are a technology designed to support the invocation of remote elements by client applications, with the goal of providing interoperable application-to-application interaction while assuring vendor and platform independence. In business-critical environments, the occurrence of interoperability issues can have disastrous consequences, including direct financial costs, reputation, and client fidelity losses. Despite this, experience shows that services interoperability is still quite difficult to achieve. The goal of this paper is to propose a practical testing process to understand the real level of interoperability provided by web services platforms. An extensible tool, that implements the proposed approach, has been used to run a large campaign during which we have tested the interoperability of a large number of web services, comprising both home-implemented and publicly available services, deployed on top of several web service platforms and against 11 client-side web service platforms. Numerous issues have been disclosed, showing the effectiveness of the proposed approach and the importance of having an automatic tool for testing web services for interoperability.

Abstract:

In service composition, service delivery is the important factor which estimates and satisfies the needs of the end user. Due to availability of enormous service providers providing required computing facility across various domains. The selection and retrieval of appropriate service is done using various evolutionary algorithms. Here we use an enhanced particle swarm optimization algorithm to classify the services available services based on the functional and non functional QoS factors. The enhanced PSO algorithm used in this work focuses on the attributes such as effectiveness, reliability, cost, availability, distance and interoperability. The result shows that the best interoperable service is chosen and delivered to the end user. For example, the best integrated separate reservation system is retrieved for travel, hotel and other resources required to satisfy the need of customer as a single service.

Abstract:

.As Web Services draw modules within and across enterprises, dynamically and belligerently testing Web Services has become crucial. Comprehensive Functional, Concert, Interoperability and Susceptibility Testing form the Pillars of Web Services Testing. Only by adopting a comprehensive testing department, enterprises can safeguard that their Web Services is robust, scalable, interoperable, and secure. Overall functionality of web services would be informal towards test. But, only if we methodically trust the applications components (services) before we combine them to complete the application. In current scenario web service technology comprehends various testing apparatuses for manipulating and generating the test cases. But these tools and approaches were negotiating security and execution time and consume more resources. The existing methodologies will generate test cases for the low end web services and limited number of requests, due to these constraints we built new testing framework. In this paper we introduced the new basis with testing of actions, scripts and link for web services by the use of test cases. For this approach we used SOAP web services with SOA. The test case generation and testing reports will gives the accurate testing results and test cases. These test cases are generated using Java JUnit testing tool. We implemented our approach in a java based platform for efficient and secure manner.

Abstract:

Internet of Things has become a fundamental paradigm in our everyday lives. However, standards and technologies are often designed without considering interoperability, which is a critical issue for Internet of Things. Internet of Things environment requires interoperability to share resources (e.g. data and services) between heterogeneous Internet of Things domains. The open authorization (OAuth) 2.0 framework that is actively used in Internet of Things (as well as in conventional web environments) also did not focus on interoperability. In other words, the systems that implement the same OAuth 2.0 standard cannot interoperate without additional support. For this reason, we propose an authorization framework as a service. Authorization framework as a service provides an additional authorization layer to support standard authorization capabilities as an interoperable secure wrapper between different domains. Besides, authorization framework as a service supports the four extended authorization grant flow types to issue an interoperable access token, which has a global access scope across multiple heterogeneous domains. With the authorization framework as a service, interoperability can be supported for heterogeneous domains, and token management can also be simple because an interoperable access token can represent several existing access tokens that have local access scopes. Furthermore, this article presents a feasible interoperability scenario, implementation, and security considerations for authorization framework as a service, focusing on Internet of Things platforms.

Abstract:

The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is an international non-profit standards organization. Established in 1994, OGC aims to make geospatial information and services FAIR-Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. OGC specifications have greatly facilitated interoperability among software, hardware, data, and users in the GIS field. This study collected publications related to OGC specifications from the Web of Science (WoS database) between 1994 to 2020 and conducted a literature analysis using Derwent Data Analyzer and VosViewer, finding that OGC specifications have been widely applied in academic fields. The most productive organizations were Wuhan University and George Mason University; the most common keywords were interoperability, data, and web service. Since 2018, the emerging keywords that have attracted much attention from researchers were 3D city models, 3D modeling, and smart cities. To make geospatial data FAIR, the OGC specifications SWE and WMS served more for “Findable”, SWE contributed more to “Accessible”, WPS and WCS served more for “Interoperable”, and WPS, XML schemas, WFS, and WMS served more for “Reusable”. The OGC specification also serves data and web services for large-scale infrastructure such as the Digital Earth Platform of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Abstract:

Abstract. Recently, numerous frameworks and tools are being developed for enhancing access to data and services with a standardized view to communicate the advances in open information sharing. Another emerging field of data exploration is encountered in the coordination, examination and perception of bioresource data and are prompting corresponding new innovations. The bioresource information team aims to develop standards for nationwide data exchange by the establishment of a catalog service to locate and access biological data and information from across the country and information tool for decision makers. With the growth of open data sharing initiatives, the sharing of data among different and myriad sources has increased significantly, but major challenge lies in addressing the issues of interoperability during exchange and use since the data sources are heterogeneous and the data being organization specific is prepared with different (organization) specific data standards and platforms. This paper presents the model based on the study of different metadata standards and to develop a recommended standard for biodiversity information to support interoperability among heterogeneous databases under the umbrella of Indian Bioresource Information Network (IBIN) portal. The paper presents the mapping of different data standards into the IBIN standard for sharing species data in the form of distributed and interoperable web services to set the stage for interoperability.

Abstract:

Nowadays, the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem is experiencing a lack of interoperability across the multiple competing platforms that are available. Consequently, service providers can only access vertical data silos that imply high costs and jeopardize their solutions market potential. It is necessary to transform the current situation with competing non-interoperable IoT platforms into a common ecosystem enabling the emergence of cross-platform, cross-standard, and cross-domain IoT services and applications. This paper presents a platform that has been implemented for realizing this vision. It leverages semantic web technologies to address the two key challenges in expanding the IoT beyond product silos into web-scale open ecosystems: data interoperability and resources identification and discovery. The paper provides extensive description of the proposed solution and its implementation details. Regarding the implementation details, it is important to highlight that the platform described in this paper is currently supporting the federation of eleven IoT deployments (from heterogeneous application domains) with over 10,000 IoT devices overall which produce hundreds of thousands of observations per day.

Abstract:

In this paper we will define and describe a novel approach for the development of context-driven Web Map solutions. Our approach relies on an architecture we define and present in this paper as an enhancement of GIS application interoperability platforms. The enhancement is performed through introduction of a specific architectural layer which enables the development of context-driven Web Map solutions. A novel architectural layer we introduce consists of two central components: Web Map Context Service and Context Proposal Service. These services take advantage of existing GeoNis framework for interoperability of GIS applications and enable users get appropriately visualized geospatial data depending on their Web map context. The novel architectural layer performs externalization of Web map contexts in separate files complaint to Web Map Context Documents specification. Web map context files are used as configuration files to configure map display elements for each user. Rendering capabilities are also delegated to the client side which simplifies server components and improves system performances. The enhanced platform is capable of adapting to different users? needs without changing its internal structure and improves the level Web Map solution usability. Also, in this paper we will present an implementation of the proposed architecture and services with purpose of demonstrating the ability of our proposal to apply the existing GIS application interoperability platform for different Web map contexts and styles for viewing maps.

Abstract Objectives To examine the feasibility of deploying a virtual web service for sharing data within a research network, and to evaluate the impact on data consistency and quality. Material and Methods Virtual machines (VMs) encapsulated an open-source, semantically and syntactically interoperable secure web service infrastructure along with a shadow database. The VMs were deployed to 8 Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network Clinical Centers. Results Virtual web services could be deployed in hours. The interoperability of the web services reduced format misalignment from 56% to 1% and demonstrated that 99% of the data consistently transferred using the data dictionary and 1% needed human curation. Conclusions Use of virtualized open-source secure web service technology could enable direct electronic abstraction of data from hospital databases for research purposes.

Abstract:

Recently, the Web Services Interoperability Organization (WS-I) has announced to have completed its interoperability standards work. The latest deliverables include the so-called “Basic Security Profile” and the “Reliable Secure Profile.” This gives rise to the question whether or not Web Services adopters can rely on interoperability and functionality of Web Services stacks, in particular in terms of security and reliability features. To answer this question, the authors thoroughly analyze two important Web Services stacks for interoperability of WS-Security and WS-ReliableMessaging features. Their analysis shows that security and reliability features are far from being implemented in an interoperable manner. Additionally, they reveal that some of those interoperability problems are not even covered by WS-I profiles and therefore conclude that WS-I’s work has not yet resulted in Web Services interoperability. Finally, the authors investigate support for the so-called “Secure WS-ReliableMessaging Scenario” in order to find out whether WS-* adopters can at least rely on the availability of real-world functionality in homogeneous environments.

Abstract:

Abstract. Accessibility, availability, re-use and re-distribution of scientific data are prerequisites to build climate services across Europe. From this perspective the Institute of Biometeorology of the National Research Council (IBIMET-CNR), aiming at contributing to the sharing and integration of research data, has developed a research data infrastructure to support the scientific activities conducted in several national and international research projects. The proposed architecture uses open-source tools to ensure sustainability in the development and deployment of Web applications with geographic features and data analysis functionalities. The spatial data infrastructure components are organized in typical client–server architecture and interact from the data provider download data process to representation of the results to end users. The availability of structured raw data as customized information paves the way for building climate service purveyors to support adaptation, mitigation and risk management at different scales.This work is a bottom-up collaborative initiative between different IBIMET-CNR research units (e.g. geomatics and information and communication technology – ICT; agricultural sustainability; international cooperation in least developed countries – LDCs) that embrace the same approach for sharing and re-use of research data and informatics solutions based on co-design, co-development and co-evaluation among different actors to support the production and application of climate services. During the development phase of Web applications, different users (internal and external) were involved in the whole process so as to better define user needs and suggest the implementation of specific custom functionalities. Indeed, the services are addressed to researchers, academics, public institutions and agencies – practitioners who can access data and findings from recent research in the field of applied meteorology and climatology.

Abstract:

Web Services provide interoperable mechanisms for describing, locating and invoking services over the Internet; composition further enables to build complex services out of simpler ones for complex B2B applications. While current studies on these topics are mostly focused - from the technical viewpoint - on standards and protocols, this article investigates the adoption of formal methods, especially for composition. The authors logically classify and analyze three different (but interconnected) kinds of important issues towards this goal, namely foundations, verification and extensions. The aim of this work is to individuate the proper questions on the adoption of formal methods for dependable composition of Web Services, not necessarily to find the optimal answers. Nevertheless, the authors still try to propose some tentative answers based on our proposal for a composition calculus, which they hope can animate a proper discussion.

Abstract:

Nowadays, the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem is experiencing a lack of interoperability across the multiple competing platforms that are available. Consequently, service providers can only access vertical data silos that imply high costs and jeopardize their solutions market potential. It is necessary to transform the current situation with competing non-interoperable IoT platforms into a common ecosystem enabling the emergence of cross-platform, cross-standard, and cross-domain IoT services and applications. This paper presents a platform that has been implemented for realizing this vision. It leverages semantic web technologies to address the two key challenges in expanding the IoT beyond product silos into web-scale open ecosystems: data interoperability and resources identification and discovery. The paper provides extensive description of the proposed solution and its implementation details. Regarding the implementation details, it is important to highlight that the platform described in this paper is currently supporting the federation of eleven IoT deployments (from heterogeneous application domains) with over 10,000 IoT devices overall which produce hundreds of thousands of observations per day.

Abstract:

Abstract. Birdhouse is a collaborative project open for the community to participate. It is a software framework containing a collection of Web Processing Services (WPS). The deployed algorithms are focusing on Earth Systems and environmental data processing with the philosophy of streamlining the software development and deployment. By supporting climate, earth observation and biodiversity data and processes, Birdhouse can be used in a wide array of Earth sciences projects and workflows. The core benefit of this project is to allow the seamless use of climate services developed by a diverse network of national meteorological offices, regional climate service providers, academics, not-for-profit research centers and private industry. As governments move toward open-data policies, there will be a need for analytical services that extract value out of the deluge of information. Using an interoperable software architecture, institutions can provide both data and services allowing users to process the data remotely from a laptop, instead of having to acquire and maintain large storage infrastructures.

Abstract:

ObjectiveHealth services in many countries are investing in interorganisational networks, linking patients’ records held in different organisations across a city or region. The aim of the systematic review was to establish how, why and in what circumstances these networks improve patient safety, fail to do so, or increase safety risks, for people living at home.DesignRealist synthesis, drawing on both quantitative and qualitative evidence, and including consultation with stakeholders in nominal groups and semistructured interviews.Eligibility criteriaThe coordination of services for older people living at home, and medicine reconciliation for older patients returning home from hospital.Information sources17 sources including Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, ACM Digital Library, and Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts.OutcomesChanges in patients’ clinical risks.ResultsWe did not find any detailed accounts of the sequences of events that policymakers and others believe will lead from the deployment of interoperable networks to improved patient safety. We were, though, able to identify a substantial number of theory fragments, and these were used to develop programme theories.There is good evidence that there are problems with the coordination of services in general, and the reconciliation of medication lists in particular, and it indicates that most problems are social and organisational in nature. There is also good evidence that doctors and other professionals find interoperable networks difficult to use. There was limited high-quality evidence about safety-related outcomes associated with the deployment of interoperable networks.ConclusionsEmpirical evidence does not currently justify claims about the beneficial effects of interoperable networks on patient safety. There appears to be a mismatch between technology-driven assumptions about the effects of networks and the sociotechnical nature of coordination problems.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42017073004.

Abstract:

Abstract Flood protection is one of several disciplines where geospatial data is very important and is a crucial component. Its management, processing and sharing form the foundation for their efficient use; therefore, special attention is required in the development of effective, precise, standardized, and interoperable models for the discovery and publishing of data on the Web. This paper describes the design of a methodology to discover Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) services on the Web and collect descriptive information, i.e., metadata in a geocatalogue. A pilot implementation of the proposed methodology - Geocatalogue of geospatial information provided by OGC services discovered on Google (hereinafter “Geocatalogue”) - was used to search for available resources relevant to the area of flood protection. The result is an analysis of the availability of resources discovered through their metadata collected from the OGC services (WMS, WFS, etc.) and the resources they provide (WMS layers, WFS objects, etc.) within the domain of flood protection.

Abstract:

The technique of adapting the web service allows the user to establish reusable, interoperable, flexible and context-aware applications. In fact, the pervasive system specification is provided by the context-aware applications since it is dynamically adapted. Furthermore, we seek to offer a dynamic description of the web services. This objective, however, can be achieved by adding contextual information structures to the web service description. In the literature, more research works strive to combine the contextual description with the web service description using the OWL-S structure.In fact, the main objective of this paper is to propose structures with two levels for the contextual description of the pervasive system. This description is based on the generic model for the pervasive system design. We, also, suggest integrating such a description into the OWL-S structure.

Abstract:

Emerging hydrological services provide stakeholders and political authorities with useful and reliable information to support the decision-making process and develop flood risk management strategies. Most of these services adopt the paradigm of open data and standard web services, paving the way to increase distributed hydrometeorological services’ interoperability. Moreover, sharing of data, models, information, and the use of open-source software, greatly contributes to expanding the knowledge on flood risk and to increasing flood preparedness. Nevertheless, services’ interoperability and open data are not common in local systems implemented in developing countries. This paper presents the web platform and related services developed for the Local Flood Early Warning System of the Sirba River in Niger (SLAPIS) to tailor hydroclimatic information to the user’s needs, both in content and format. Building upon open-source software components and interoperable web services, we created a software framework covering data capture and storage, data flow management procedures from several data providers, real-time web publication, and service-based information dissemination. The geospatial infrastructure and web services respond to the actual and local decision-making context to improve the usability and usefulness of information derived from hydrometeorological forecasts, hydraulic models, and real-time observations. This paper presents also the results of the three years of operational campaigns for flood early warning on the Sirba River in Niger. Semiautomatic flood warnings tailored and provided to end users bridge the gap between available technology and local users’ needs for adaptation, mitigation, and flood risk management, and make progress toward the sustainable development goals.

Abstract:

With the advancements in GIS technologies and extensive use of OGC Web Services, geospatial resources and services are becoming progressively copious and convenient over the network. The application of OGC WCS (Web Coverage Service) and WFS (Web Feature Service) standards for geospatial raster and vector data has resulted in an opulent pool of interoperable geodata resources waiting to be used for analytical or modelling purposes. The issue of availing geospatial data processing with the aid of standardised web services was attended to by the OGC WPS (Web Processing Service) 1.0.0 specifications (Schut, 2007) which elucidate WPS as a standard interface which serves for the promulgation of geo-processes and consumption of those processes by the clients. This paper outlines the design and implementation of a geo-processing tool utilizing coverage data. The geo-process selected for application is the calculation of Normalized Difference Vegetative Index (NDVI), one of the globally used indices for vegetation cover monitoring. The system is realised using the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) and Python. The tool accesses the WCS server using the parameters defined in the XML request. The geo-process upon execution, performs the computations over the coverage data and generates the NDVI output. Since open source technology and standards are being used more often, especially in the field of scientific research, so our implementation is also built by using open source tools only.

Abstract:

Abstract. The UN Vector Tile Toolkit (https://github.com/un-vector-tile-toolkit/) is a package of open source tools designed under the UN Open GIS Initiative to enable public basemap providers, such as the UN geospatial information services or mapping organizations of governments, among others, to deliver their basemap vector tiles leveraging the latest web map technologies. The toolkit provides a set of Node.js open source scripts designed for developers to use with existing and proven open-source software such as Tippecanoe, Maputnik and Vector Tile optimizer. The toolkit will help organizations to produce, host, style, and optimize fast and interoperable basemap vector tiles, making them available with various application frameworks. The talk will cover automatic and continuous updates of basemap vector tiles using a continuously updated PostGIS database which stores both the UN mission-specific basemap data and global OpenStreetMap data. The talk also focuses on how the project ensured interoperability with different existing enterprise geospatial software frameworks that use less-advanced web map libraries. The project aims to build a sustainable community of developers that support the provision of fast and interoperable basemap vector tiles.

Abstract:

Healthcare is an increasingly collaborative enterprise involving many individuals and organizations that coordinate their efforts toward promoting quality and efficient delivery of healthcare. To these ends, today, more than any other point in time, increased reliance is being placed on interoperability among healthcare information systems (HIS) which have been developed as monolithic, stand-alone systems without significant interfaces between them. Enabling heterogeneous HIS to interact within a Service-oriented architecture (SOA), such as a Web Services architecture, can help healthcare organizations to consistently deliver sustainable business value, with increased agility and cost effectiveness, in line with changing business needs. However, in the context of a SOA approach, issues of semantic interoperability still remain unresolved while new challenges arise regarding web service interoperability. This paper presents a mediation framework which provides a uniform interface to the underlying HIS and is accessible via Android-enabled devices. The proposed framework is based on the agent paradigm for both healthcare process management and management of interactions among the participating systems. The healthcare processes and all interactions involved in each process are described according to the workflow metaphor.

Abstract:

The main objective of many e-government solutions is establishing smart government through developing user oriented, integrated and interoperable services. However, the heterogeneous and distributed nature of public administrations and the limit of traditional service discovery approaches does not enable achieving efficiently this objective. Rather achieving semantic interoperability through the development of shared e-government knowledge can be the key to smart government. As its main contribution, this paper presents a semantic modelling approach of data and public services, and a service discovery approach for building smart government applications. Our approach uses both semantic web services and conceptual structures technologies. Applying these technologies was shown to have an extremely high potential impact in smart government development. They enabled the improvement of the data and services description, of multiple resources, with additional semantic information, which allowed an automatic processing of information and services.
