Agent-as-a-service-based geospatial service aggregation in the cloud: A case study of flood response

An Agent-as-a-Service (AaaS)-based geospatial service aggregation is proposed to build a more efficient, robust and intelligent geospatial service system in the Cloud for flood emergency response. It involves an AaaS infrastructure, encompassing the mechanisms and algorithms for geospatial Web Processing Service (WPS) generation, geoprocessing and aggregation. The method has the following advantages: 1) it allows separately hosted services and data to work together, avoiding transfers of large volumes of spatial data over the network; 2) it enriches geospatial service resources in the distributed environment by utilizing the agent cloning, migration and service regeneration capabilities of the AaaS, solving issues associated with lack of geospatial services to a certain extent; 3) it enables the migration of services to target nodes to finish a task, strengthening decentralization and enhancing the robustness of geospatial service aggregation; and 4) it helps domain experts and authorities solve interdisciplinary emergency issues using various Agent-generated geospatial services.     

基于OGC数据服务的空间信息处理服务平台

设计了基于OGC数据服务的空间信息处理服务平台。平台封装了现有的开源GIS软件包含的丰富的空间信息处理功能,对用户提供在线的OGC-WPS服务。较传统处理平台不同的是,平台以符合OWS协议框架的空间数据服务(WFS、WMS和WCS)作为空间数据层,极大方便了开放地理信息在用户之间的共享和互操作。最后,开发了原型系统并利用互联网上的开放地理信息服务作为数据源进行测试,证明了平台及其方案的可行性和实用性。     

基于网络信息搜索的Web Service 文本描述信息扩充方法

随着Web服务技术的不断成熟和发展,互联网上出现了大量的公共Web服务.在使用Web服务开发软件系统的过程中,其文本描述信息(例如简介和使用说明等)可以帮助服务消费者直观有效地识别和理解Web服务并加以利用.已有的研究工作大多关注于从Web服务的WSDL文件中获取此类信息进行Web服务的发现或检索,调研发现,互联网上大部分Web服务的WSDL文件中普遍缺少甚至没有此类信息.为此,提出一种基于网络信息搜索的从WSDL文件之外的信息源为Web服务扩充文本描述信息的方法.从互联网上收集包含目标Web服务特征标识的相关网页,基于从网页中抽取出的信息片段,利用信息检索技术计算信息片段与目标Web服务的相关度,并选取相关度较高的文本片段为Web服务扩充文本描述信息.基于互联网上的真实数据进行的实验,其结果表明,可为约51％的互联网上的Web服务获取到相关网页,并为这些Web服务中约88％扩充文本描述信息.收集到的Web服务及其文本描述信息数据均已公开发布.     

一种基于本体和Agent的网格服务发现机制

在动态的网格计算环境中分布着大量不同类型的网格服务。快速、准确地进行网格服务发现是影响网格计算性能的关键因素。本文提出了基于本体和Agent的网格服务发现机制,它具有良好的扩展性和完备性。该模型采用Agent代理技术进行服务搜索,不同的代理能够提供不同虚拟组织的本体知识库;利用本体论语义进行服务的匹配,从而实现智能化的服务发现。     

A View Based Analysis on Web Service Registries

Web services registries are a cornerstone for the emerging service-oriented architecture and constitute a critical resource for Web services. We systematically illustrate and evaluate current registries and compare different approaches regarding their architectures and data models in the context of two views: the human and Web service based views. We use these views to show the different requirements and to illustrate the different abstractions when comparing Web service registries. The human view on Web service registry architectures is illustrated with the help of a case study. The Web service view on Web services registry architectures is illustrated from a software-service point of view. The data model of Web service registries is described in detail from a machine based view. The corresponding human view is described from an abstract level. Web service publishing and discovery are compared from a human and a Web service based view. Finally, we present a working example that uses our methodology to compare different Web service registries and to explain the different views introduced in this paper.

Service-oriented applications for environmental models: Reusable geospatial services

Environmental modelling often requires a long iterative process of sourcing, reformatting, analyzing, and introducing various types of data into the model. Much of the data to be analyzed are geospatial data—digital terrain models (DTM), river basin boundaries, snow cover from satellite imagery, etc.—and so the modelling workflow typically involves the use of multiple desktop GIS and remote sensing software packages, with limited compatibility among them. Recent advances in service-oriented architectures (SOA) are allowing users to migrate from dedicated desktop solutions to on-line, loosely coupled, and standards-based services which accept source data, process them, and pass results as basic parameters to other intermediate services and/or then to the main model, which also may be made available on-line. This contribution presents a service-oriented application that addresses the issues of data accessibility and service interoperability for environmental models. Key model capabilities are implemented as geospatial services, which are combined to form complex services, and may be reused in other similar contexts. This work was carried out under the auspices of the AWARE project funded by the European programme Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES). We show results of the service-oriented application applied to alpine runoff models, including the use of geospatial services facilitating discovery, access, processing and visualization of geospatial data in a distributed manner.     

物联网服务发现初探:传统SOA的可行性和局限性

基于SOA(service-oriented architecture)的物联网(Internet of things,IoT)把设备的功能服务化,以一种统一和通用的接口向外界提供服务。由于物联网中设备的海量性、移动性和资源高度受限性,以及无线网络自身的不可靠性,设备服务与传统的Web服务相比具有不同的特点,现有的Web服务发现方法不能有效地满足物联网中服务发现的需求。从Web服务发现体系结构和匹配策略两个方面对典型的Web服务发现方法进行了分析;结合物联网中服务提供的特点,从可扩展性、资源有限性、异构性和环境的动态变化性四个方面,分析了将Web服务发现方法应用于物联网服务提供中所面临的问题,并讨论了可能的解决思路;探讨了物联网中服务发现需要解决的问题。
