Non Functional Properties In Service Oriented Architecture Requirements Models And Methods

"This book offers a selection of chapters that cover three important aspects related to the use of non-functional properties in SOA: requirements specification with respect to non-functional properties, modeling non-functional properties and implementation of non-functional properties"--Provided by publisher.

Services and service oriented computing have emerged and matured over the last decade, bringing with them a number of available services that are selected by users and developers and composed into larger applications. The Handbook of Research on Non-Functional Properties for Service-Oriented Systems: Future Directions unites different approaches and methods used to describe, map, and use non-functional properties and service level agreements. This handbook, which will be useful for both industry and academia, provides an overview of existing research and also sets clear directions for future work.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of workshops, held at the 33rd International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2014, in Atlanta, GA, USA in October 2014. The 24 revised full and 6 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected out of 59 submissions and are presented together with 4 demonstrations. The papers are organized in sections related to the individual workshops: the First International Workshop on Enterprise Modeling, ENMO 2014; the Second International Workshop on Modeling and Management of Big Data, MoBiD 2014; the First International Workshop on Conceptual Modeling in Requirements and Business Analysis, MReBA 2014; the First International Workshop on Quality of Models and Models of Quality, QMMQ 2014; the 8th International Workshop on Semantic and Conceptual Issues in GIS, SeCoGIS 2014; and the 11th International Workshop on Web Information Systems Modeling, WISM 2014. The contributions cover a variety of topics in conceptual modeling, including requirements and enterprise modeling, modeling of big data, spatial conceptual modeling, exploring the quality of models, and issues specific to the design of web information systems.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 2012 ICSOC Workshops consisting of 6 scientific satellite events, organized in 3 main tracks including workshop track (ASC, DISA. PAASC, SCEB, SeMaPS and WESOA 2012), PhD symposium track, demonstration track; held in conjunction with the 10th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing (ICSOC), in Shanghai, China, November 2012. The 53 revised papers presents a wide range of topics that fall into the general area of service computing such as business process management, distributed systems, computer networks, wireless and mobile computing, grid computing, networking, service science, management science, and software engineering.

New techniques and tools for database and database technologies are continuously being introduced. These technologies are the heart of many business information systems and can benefit from theories, models, and research results from other disciplines. Innovations in Database Design, Web Applications, and Information Systems Management presents ideal research in the areas of database theory, systems design, ontologies, and many more. Including examples of the convergence of ideas from various disciplines aimed at improving and developing the theory of information technology and management of information resources, this book is useful for researchers and practitioners in the IT field.

Technological advances, although beneficial and progressive, can lead to vulnerabilities in system networks and security. While researchers attempt to find solutions, negative uses of technology continue to create new security threats to users. New Threats and Countermeasures in Digital Crime and Cyber Terrorism brings together research-based chapters and case studies on security techniques and current methods being used to identify and overcome technological vulnerabilities with an emphasis on security issues in mobile computing and online activities. This book is an essential reference source for researchers, university academics, computing professionals, and upper-level students interested in the techniques, laws, and training initiatives currently being implemented and adapted for secure computing.

In modern electoral processes, Information and Communication Technologies play a crucial role, whether used in voter registration, ballot casting, or processing of results. Securing these systems is a necessary step in ensuring the fairness of the democratic process. Design, Development, and Use of Secure Electronic Voting Systems analyzes current research on the integration of modern technologies with traditional democratic systems, providing a framework for designing and deploying electronic voting systems in any context or society. Stakeholders, researchers, architects, designers, and scholars interested in the use of electronic systems in government processes will use this book to gain a broader understanding of some of the latest advances in this emerging field.
