On many dimensions, services can be seen to exist along spectra measuring the degree of interaction between customer and agent. For instance, every interaction features some number of contributions by each of those two sides, creating a…
Given a wireless network where some pairs of communication links interfere with each other, we study sufficient conditions for determining whether a given set of minimum bandwidth Quality of Service (QoS) requirements can be satisfied. We…
Many systems and services rely on timing assumptions for performance and availability to perform critical aspects of their operation, such as various timeouts for failure detectors or optimizations to concurrency control mechanisms. Many…
Context: Container orchestration tools supporting infrastructure-as-code allow new forms of collaboration between developers and operatives. Still, their text-based nature permits naive mistakes and is more difficult to read as complexity…
Recent research found that fairness plays a key role in customer satisfaction. Therefore, many manufacturing and services industries have become aware of the need to treat customers fairly. Still, there is a huge lack of models that enable…
Many cloud service providers (CSPs) provide on-demand service at a price with a small delay. We propose a QoS-differentiated model where multiple SLAs deliver both on-demand service for latency-critical users and delayed services for…
In hosting environments such as IaaS clouds, desirable application performance is usually guaranteed through the use of Service Level Agreements (SLAs), which specify minimal fractions of resource capacities that must be allocated for use…
We consider how to connect a set of disjoint networks to optimize the performance of the resulting composite network. We quantify this performance by the coherence of the composite network, which is defined by an $H_2$ norm of the system.…
Web Services (WS) have become one the most used technologies nowadays in software systems. Among the challenges when integrating WS in a given system, requirements-driven selection occupies a prominent place. A comprehensive selection…
Automated service composition as the process of creating new software in an automated fashion has been studied in many different ways over the last decade. However, the impact of automated service composition has been rather small as its…
Automatic service composition in mobile and pervasive computing faces many challenges due to the complex and highly dynamic nature of the environment. Common approaches consider service composition as a decision problem whose solution is…
The selection of the most appropriate Web services to realize business tasks still remain an open issue. We propose a multi-criteria algorithm for efficient service selection. Web services and their QoS values are stored in a Web service…
Strategies for orchestrating the interactions between multiple agents, both human and artificial, can wildly overestimate performance and underestimate the cost of orchestration. We design a framework to orchestrate agents under realistic…
The aim of this review paper is to bring into light a potential area i.e., web services supply chains for research by analyzing the existing state of art in this. It is observed from the review process that there seems to be much less work…
Automatic Service Composition is a research direction aimed at facilitating the usage of atomic web services. Particularly, the goal is to build workflows of services that solve specific queries, which cannot be resolved by any single…
Organizations devote substantial resources to coordination, yet which tasks actually require it for correctness remains unclear. The problem is acute in multi-agent AI systems, where coordination cost is directly measurable and can exceed…
Terms of Service (ToS) form an integral part of any agreement as it defines the legal relationship between a service provider and an end-user. Not only do they establish and delineate reciprocal rights and responsibilities, but they also…
Multi-unit organizations are a form of organizations where the geographically dispersed units provide similar products or services in different markets. Deciding on an appropriate level of centralization in such organizations presents a…
Cognitive radio nodes have been proposed as means to improve the spectrum utilization. It reuses the spectrum of a primary service provider under the condition that the primary service provider services are not harmfully interrupted. A…
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is being provided to the variety of end-users demands, thereby providing a better and improved management of services is crucial. Therefore, Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are essential and…
