This article describes how the named data networking (NDN) has recently received a lot of attention as a potential information-centric networking (ICN) architecture for the future Internet. The NDN paradigm has a great potential to efficiently address and solve the current seminal IP-based IoT...

This article describes how incorporating temporal constraints in web service composition results in more complex models and makes the verification of temporal consistency during the modeling and execution crucial. This article proposes a model named H-Service-Net based on the time petri net...

This article describes how more knowledge appears on the Internet than in an ontological form. Displaying results to users precisely when searching is the key issue of the research on ontology retrieval. The considered factors of ontology ranking are not only limited to internal...

In Services Oriented Computing, a composite web service is a value-added service composed of loosely coupled, independent, and distributed component web services. Component or partner web services jointly contribute to fulfil functional as well as non-functional requirements of users of a...

This article describes how public health information management is an interdisciplinary application which deals with cross linked application domains. Geospatial environment, place and meteorology parameters effect public health. Effective decision making plays a vital role and requires disease...

The major purpose of this article is to empirically explore the role of web-based collaborative systems in harvesting the dimensions of collective intelligence and the expected outcomes. A questionnaire survey was developed to collect data from 29 firms across all industries with a sample of 239...

In this article we present a new semantic and syntactic-based method for external plagiarism detection. In the proposed approach, latent dirichlet allocation (LDA) and parts of speech (POS) tags are used together to detect plagiarism between the sample and a number of source documents. The basic...

This article describes how cloud applications are negotiated, deployed, monitored, evaluated and terminated through the service level agreements (SLA). The service definition & their objectives, performance measures, pricing, roles of the involved parties are stated as part of the SLA. Searching...

This article describes how the traditional web search is essentially based on a combination of textual keyword searches with an importance ranking of the documents depending on the link structure of the web. However, one of the dimensions that has not been captured to its full extent is that of...

Due to the ubiquitous availability of the information on the web, there is a great need for a standardized representation of this information. Therefore, developing an efficient algorithm for retrieving information from knowledge graphs is a key challenge for many semantic web applications. This...
