Helium leads to geothermal energy resources

When we think about alternative sources of energy, we often forget the potential of geothermal energy resources. In fact, it has been estimated that accessible geothermal energy in the U.S. represents 90 quadrillion kilowatt-hours or 3,000 times the country's total annual energy consumption. So far, it has been difficult and...

Functionality-Based Service Matchmaking for Service-Oriented Architecture

Service matchmaking is a basic feature of Service-Oriented Architecture SOA. In this paper, a semantic-based flexible service matchmaking approach is presented to efficiently identifying functionality-compatible services. This approach utilizes SAWOWL- S to specify the service advertisements and service discovery requests. The functionality-compatibility of a service to a request is defined...

PASS Middleware for Distributed and Autonomous XML Message Processing

Basic message processing tasks, such as well-formedness checking and grammar validation, can be off-loaded from the service providers' own infrastructures. To enable effective off-loading of processing tasks, the paper introduced the Prefix Automata SyStem - PASS, a middleware architecture which distributively processes XML payloads of web service SOAP messages during...
