We consider in this paper how to leverage heterogeneous mobile computing capability for
efficient processing of real-time range-monitoring queries. In our environment, each mobile …

Cloud providers tend to support dynamic computing resources reallocation (eg, Autoscaling)
to handle the bursty workload for web applications (eg, e-commerce) in the cloud …

In this paper, we explore an approach to generating detectors that is radically different from
the conventional way of learning a detector from a large corpus of annotated positive and …

WS-Business Activity specification defines two coordination protocols in order to ensure a
consistent agreement on the outcome of long-running distributed applications. We use the …

Atomicity is a highly desirable property for achieving application consistency in service
compositions. To achieve atomicity, a service composition should satisfy the atomicity …

Atomicity is a desirable property that safeguards application consistency for service
compositions. A service composition exhibiting this property could either complete or cancel …

In this paper, we focus on image tampering detection and tampered region localization. We
find that the probability distributions of the DCT coefficients of a JEPG image will be …

In this paper, we propose an approach to providing the benefits of isolation in service-
oriented applications where it is not feasible to hold traditional locks for ACID transactions …

Loose coupling is often cited as a defining characteristic of service-oriented architectures.
Interactions between services take place via messages in an asynchronous environment …

Restful APIs are widely adopted in designing components that are combined to form web
information systems. The use of REST is growing with the inclusion of smart devices and the …
