Whom You Know Matters: Venture Capital Networks and Investment Performance,
- Journal of Finance
, 2007
"... Abstract Many financial markets are characterized by strong relationships and networks, rather than arm's-length, spot-market transactions. We examine the performance consequences of this organizational choice in the context of relationships established when VCs syndicate portfolio company inv ..."

into webs of relationships with other VCs. Once they have invested in a company, VCs draw on their networks of service providers -head hunters, patent lawyers, investment bankers etc. -to help the company succeed (Gorman and Sahlman (1989), While the prevalence of networking in many financial markets has
Materials for an exploratory theory of the network society.
- The British Journal of Sociology
, 2000
"... ABSTRACT This article aims at proposing some elements for a grounded theor y of the network society. The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."

QOS WITH RELIABILITY AND SCALABILITY IN ADAPTIVE SERVICE-BASED SYSTEMS
"... Service-based systems that are dynamically composed at runtime to provide complex, adaptive functionality are currently one of the main development paradigms in software engineering. However, the Quality of Service (QoS) delivered by these systems remains an important concern, and needs to be manage ..."

Provisioning resilient, adaptive web services-based workflow: A semantic modeling approach
- In Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS’04
, 2004
"... Web Services are emerging technologies that en-able application-to-application communication and reuse of autonomous services over the Web. Recent ef-forts, OWL-S, model the semantics of Web Services that includes the capabilities of the service, the service in-teraction protocol, and the actual mes ..."

Semantic Web Enabled Composition of Web Services
- COMPUTER SCIENCE DEPARTMENT, VIRGINIA TECH. UNIVERSITY
, 2004
"... In this dissertation, we present a novel approach for the automatic composition of Web services on the envisioned Semantic Web. Automatic service composition requires dealing with three major research thrusts: semantic description of Web services, composability of participant services, and generatio ..."

Reconciling Agent Ontologies for Web Service Applications
- In: Proc. of Multiagent System Technologies: Third German Conference (MATES-05). LNAI 3550
, 2005
"... Abstract. Because there is still no agreed-upon global ontology, Web services supplied by different providers typically have individual and unique semantics, described by independently developed ontologies. The seamless connection of these distributed Web services for business-to-business applicati ..."

1 MOSES: a Framework for QoS Driven Runtime Adaptation of Service-oriented Systems
"... Abstract—Architecting software systems according to the serviceoriented paradigm, and designing runtime self-adaptable systems are two relevant research areas in today’s software engineering. In this paper we address issues that lie at the intersection of these two important fields. First, we presen ..."

present a characterization of the problem space of self-adaptation for service-oriented systems, thus providing a frame of reference where our and other approaches can be classified. Then, we present MOSES, a methodology and a software tool implementing it to support QoS-driven adaptation of a service
Model-Driven Engineering of composite Web services using UML-S
