Evaluating Web Services Functionality and Performance

Abstract

Traditional distributed database transaction applications within large organizations often involve a large number of resources. In this case, people and DDBMSs distributed over a wide geographic area, may introduce conflict between heterogeneous systems. Web services (WS) provide solution for this problem since WS have an independent platform, independent language, and independent object model. This work presents WS application to access heterogeneous and distributed database via horizontal data fragments that is designed to be reliable, flexible and scalable. It describes the setup of SOAP server and applications based on the SOAP for end user client. In addition, it allows the publishing of WS descriptions to submit user requests (goal) to retrieve the required information. Here we evaluate the functional, behavior and performance of WS among possible different alternatives with real-time and execution parameters. Implementation details and case study experiments are presented along with the corresponding results.

Distributed Ledger Management for an Organization using Blockchains

“…Blockchains are basically a set of interconnected distributed ledgers [8]. In case of the distributed system; connecting and managing heterogeneous system may create issues while maintaining the data [9]. But blockchain ensures that retroactive tampering will not occur within the datasets.…”

APESS - A Service-Oriented Data Mining Platform: Application for Medical Sciences

“…Furthermore, their adoption by a number of co mmunit ies , including the grid co mmun ity, indicates that the development of data mining applications based on Web services is likely be useful to an important user community [6]. Such Web service is particularly met in business environments where time and data inten sive transactions are performed between customers and offered services/products [7]. Regarding our field of interest, namely epidemiology, it is worth noting that data mining has attracted a great deal of attention in the epidemiological information proces sing, as well as in medical and public health areas as a whole.…”
