Web Services: Themes, Concepts and Relationships

Abstract

To explore the intellectual structure of web services research in the last eight years, this study identified the most important publications and the most influential scholars as well as the correlations among these scholar's publications. In this study, bibliometric, social network and tag clouds analysis techniques are used to investigate the intellectual pillars of the web services literature. By analyzing 22,785 citations of 1,510 articles published in SCI and SSCI journal in web services area between 2001 and 2008, this study maps a knowledge network of web services studies. The results of the mapping can help identify the research direction of web services research and provide a valuable tool for researchers to access the literature in this area.

The Multi-Level Data Exchange with Representational State Transfer on Service-Oriented Architecture

“…The Information and Communication Technology Center of the Ministry of Education will examine the files to ensure that they are completely accurate and not over-complicated. Then, it stores the data the database system and (2) transfer in the form of Web Service [12], [13] which uses XML Protocol for transferring and storing data in the database system.…”

Mapping the Intellectual Structure of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

“…For example, Taylor, Dillon and van Wingen [6] explored the intellectual structure a of Information systems research, the discipline has shifted from fragmented adhocracy to a polycentric state, which is particularly appropriate to an applied discipline; Zhao and Wang [7] identified the most influential authors and studies in pervasive and ubiquitous computing field by using co-citation analysis; Zhang, chen and Li [8] explored a new approach to reveal co-citation relationships, using the original paper-reference matrix as the information source, and transform the paper-reference matrix into an visual analyses. ; Lin, McLee and Kuo [9] explored the research paradigms of web services research by applying factorial analysis techniques in an author co-citation study. To the best of our knowledge, no similar study has been conducted on the current research of knowledge management.…”
