The 2011 Grand Challenge in Service conference aimed to explore, analyse and evaluate complex service systems, utilising a case scenario of delivering on improved perception of safety in the London Borough of Sutton, which provided a common…
Over the past thirty years, logistics has undergone tremendous change from a purely operational performance that led to sales or production and focused on securing supply and delivery lines to customers, with the transformation of…
Modern applications increasingly interact with web APIs -- reusable components, deployed and operated outside the application, and accessed over the network. Their existence, arguably, spurs application innovations, making it easy to…
Performance improvement in supply chains, taking into account customer demand in the tactical planning process is essential. It is more and more difficult for the customers to ensure a certain level of demand over a medium term horizon as…
Cloud services have been used very widely, but configuration of the parameters, including the efficient allocation of resources, is an important objective for the system architect. The article is devoted to solving the problem of choosing…
Risks associated with the use of AI, ranging from algorithmic bias to model hallucinations, have received much attention and extensive research across the AI community, from researchers to end-users. However, a gap exists in the systematic…
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…
Stochastic network calculus is a theory for stochastic service guarantee analysis of computer communication networks. In the current stochastic network calculus literature, its traffic and server models are typically based on the cumulative…
Web Service is one of the most significant current discussions in information sharing technologies and one of the examples of service oriented processing. To ensure accurate execution of web services operations, it must be adaptable with…
The field of Web services is an important paradigm in distributed application development. Currently, many businesses are seeking to convert their applications into web services because of its ability to promote inter-operability among…
The dramatic development of cloud and edge computing allows for better Quality of Service (QoS) in many scenarios by deploying services on cloud and edge servers. Microservice technology is also adopted in these scenarios to decompose…
Web Services provide interoperable mechanisms for describing, locating and invoking services over the Internet; composition further enables to build complex services out of simpler ones for complex B2B applications. While current studies on…
In this paper, statistical Quality of Service provisioning in next generation heterogeneous mobile cellular networks is investigated. To this aim, any active entity of the cellular network is regarded as a queuing system, whose statistical…
Cloud computing technology provides the means to share physical resources among multiple users and data center tenants by exposing them as virtual resources. There is a strong industrial drive to use similar technology and concepts to…
Cloud-based serverless computing systems, either public or privately provisioned, aim to provide the illusion of infinite resources and abstract users from details of the allocation decisions. With the goal of providing a low cost and a…
HTTPS is quickly rising alongside the need of Internet users to benefit from security and privacy when accessing the Web, and it becomes the predominant application protocol on the Internet. This migration towards a secure Web using HTTPS…
Stochastic service systems describe situations in which customers compete for service from scarce resources. Think of check-in lines at airports, waiting rooms in hospitals or queues in supermarkets, where the scarce resource is human…
Abstract The cloud computing is a key computing approach adopted by many organizations in order to share resources. It provides Everything As-A-Service (XaaS). Software-As-A-Service is an important resource on the cloud computing…
Within the service-oriented computing domain, Web service composition is an effective realization to satisfy the rapidly changing requirements of business. Therefore, the research into Web service composition has unfolded broadly. Since…
We propose flow-based analysis to estimate quality of an Internet connection. Using results from the queuing theory we compare two expressions for backbone traffic that have different scopes of applicability. A curve that shows dependence…
