Jedi (Java based Extraction and Dissemination of Information) is a lightweight tool for the creation of wrappers and mediators to extract, combine, and reconcile information from several independent information sources. For wrappers it uses attributed grammars, which are evaluated with a fault

of these agreements would be expensive both in time and resources. It is essential to develop a method for matching agreements automatically. This work presents the framework and implementation of an innovative tool for the dynamic partnering of WS-Agreements. The approach utilizes Semantic Web technologies

Checking" approach to automatically compose web services and synthesize monitoring components. By relying on such a flexible technology, we are able to deal with the di#culties stemming from the unpredictability of external partner services, the opaqueness of their internal status, and the presence

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

Abstract. A service is controllable, if there exists a service with which it can interact properly. We sketch an approach to decide controllability for a certain class of services. Controllability is decided by synthesizing a service that controls the given service. For a class of services which

Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is an effective tool to design or re-design a product or service from the ground up. A typical variant of DFSS is the Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, Verify method. In the Measure and Analyze steps we must identify customer needs and develop new product designs to meet

Establishing and maintaining interoperability among heterogeneous systems is a major challenge and expense for large business and military projects. Data interoperability and service-oriented architecture (SOA) approaches, while essential, do not provide a complete solution. We describe a

Our efforts are substantial extensions to previous work on the service synthesis tool the ’Otho Toolkit ’ that allows smooth integration of scientific applications into service-oriented Grids. An experimental evaluation concludes our
