Abstract:
My thesis is that practical language support can be provided for Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) for Application-Service Provision (ASP), which is better than that provided by pre-existing languages in that: it provides greater assistance in expressing conditions that mitigate the risks inherent in ASP; and disputes related to agreements expressed in this manner may be more easily resolved in so as to respect the original intent of the parties. I support this thesis by establishing requirements for SLAs for ASP based on an account of a typical ASP infrastructure and business model. These ident

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to interpret the use of discretion to deliver public service in public interest. The research question to guide this purpose is, what do street-level bureaucrats use discretion for to implement disability service standards in Australia? Lipsky (1976) proposed that given their discretionary power, people on the front-line representing government (termed ‘street-level bureaucrats’) through daily people processing action on the front-line significantly affect policy outcomes. To implement social policy, a qualitative based method has been used to emphasize both inten

Background: The Malawi government in 2002 embarked on an innovative health care financing mechanism called Service Level Agreement (SLA) with Christian Health Association of Malawi (CHAM) institutions that are located in areas where people with low incomes reside.

Abstract Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks have been applied in many applications for sharing resources such as storage space, media files or network bandwidth. Their main benefits include decentralization, self-organization, and scalability. Moreover, P2P technologies are evolving towards hybrid systems, where P2P networks are used in those parts of a larger system to leverage the decentralization most efficiently. The examples include cloud computing, where P2P networks are used in sharing computing resources, and Machine-to-Machine communication, where P2P networks are used for resource discovery

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are spontaneously formed out of a number of mobile devices that communicate thanks to short-range wireless communication capabilities (e. G. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth). In many ad hoc networks deployed in real conditions, mobile nodes can exhibit highly dynamic behaviors of mobility and volatility. Because of their behavior, the devices in such network environments form so-called "islands" whose topology evolves continuously, rather than a single fully connected network. In this work, I focus on this class of MANETs which I refer to as disconnected MANETs. Network-wide c

Abstract:
The rapid development of information and communication technologies is opening a large variety of new services and aids not only for independent people, but also for dependent persons due to physical/cognitive restriction or the elderly. Combining technical aids and mobile technology allows those people to benefit from an independent living through ambient intelligent environments. The term ambient intelligent (AmI) describes a pervasive, transparent infrastructure able to observe people without interfering in their life, supplying an intelligent environment to adapt to the needs and requireme

Abstract:
This bachelor’s thesis was written in the context of a joint research group, which developed a framework for finding and providing the best-fit web service for a user. The problem of the research group lays in testing their developed framework sufficiently. The framework can either be tested with test data produced by real web services which costs money or by generated test data based on a simulation of web service behavior. The second attempt has been developed within this scientific paper in the form of a test data generator. The generator simulates a web service request by defining internal
