Recent computing world has seen rapid growth of the number of middle and large scale enterprises that deploy business processes sharing variety of services available over cloud environment. Due to the advantage of reduced cost and increased availability, the cloud technology has been gaining unbound popularity. However, because of existence of multiple cloud service providers on one hand and varying user requirements on the other hand, the task of appropriate service composition becomes challenging. The conception of this chapter is to consider the fact that different quality parameters related to various services might bear varied importance for different user. This chapter introduces a framework for QoS-based Cloud service selection to satisfy the end user needs. A hybrid algorithm based on genetic algorithm (GA) and Tabu Search methods has been developed, and its efficacy is analysed. Finally, this chapter includes the experimental analysis to present the performance of the algorithm.

BACKGROUND Only a few telemedicine applications have made their way into regular care. One reason is the lack of acceptance of telemedicine by potential end users. OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review was to identify theoretical predictors that influence the acceptance of telemedicine. METHODS An electronic search was conducted in PubMed and PsycINFO in June 2018 and supplemented by a hand search. Articles were identified using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. In total, two reviewers independently assessed the title, abstract, and full-text screening and then individually performed a quality assessment of all included studies. RESULTS Out of 5917 potentially relevant titles (duplicates excluded), 24 studies were included. The Axis Tool for quality assessment of cross-sectional studies revealed a high risk of bias for all studies except for one study. The most commonly used models were the Technology Acceptance Model (n=11) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (n=9). The main significant predictors of acceptance were perceived usefulness (n=11), social influences (n=6), and attitude (n=6). The results show a superiority of technology acceptance versus original behavioral models. CONCLUSIONS The main finding of this review is the applicability of technology acceptance models and theories on telemedicine adoption. Characteristics of the technology, such as its usefulness, as well as attributes of the individual, such as his or her need for social support, inform end-user acceptance. Therefore, in the future, requirements of the target group and the group’s social environment should already be taken into account when planning telemedicine applications. The results support the importance of theory-guided user-centered design approaches to telemedicine development.

Šio mokslinio tyrimo tematika nagrinėja internetinių paslaugų kompozicijos atlikimo priemones ir būdus. Straipsnyje aprašomi vartotojo poreikiams pritaikytų internetinių paslaugų kompozicijos automatiniai ir pusiau automatiniai kūrimo būdai ir metodai, plačiau nagrinėjamos šių metodų galimybės ir apribojimai. Analizuojami moksliniuose straipsniuose pateikiami internetinių paslaugų kompozicijos atlikimo metodai ir išskiriami trys pagrindiniai šių paslaugų kompozicijos būdai: darbų srautų modeliais grindžiamas, paslaugų šablonais grindžiamas ir automatinis paslaugų kompozicijos metodas. Tyrimo tikslas – pateikti pasiūlymą, kuris leistų automatiniu ar pusiau automatiniu būdu kurti internetinių paslaugų kompozicijas pagal vartotojų poreikius. Pusiau automatinio internetinių paslaugų komponavimo uždavinio sprendimo būdą iliustruoja sudėtingas kelionės planavimo pavyzdys. Internetinių paslaugų kompozicijai atlikti siūloma taikyti dirbtinio intelekto planavimo metodus. Pateikiama tokio uždavinio sprendimo koncepcija, kuri grindžiama fragmentiniais kituose projektuose gautais paslaugų komponavimo rezultatais ir bando sujungti visą internetinių paslaugų kompozicijos procesą: nuo vartotojo keliamų kompozicijos reikalavimų įvedimo iki tinkamo paslaugų kompozicijos rezultatų pateikimo. Possibilities of automatic and semi-automatic end-user driven web service compositionDalė Dzemydienė, Arūnas Miliauskas  SummaryOur research work relates to the main principles, means and current limitations of the end-user driven automatic and semi-automatic web service composition. It analyses automatic and semi-automatic composition approaches found in literature and classifi es them as workfl ow-based, template-based and automatic methods. The aim of this research is to provide a proposal how to construct semiautomatic or automatic end-user driven web service composition. An approach is illustrated by the multi-complexity of service composition in travel domain. We analyze a conceptual solution that covers the whole composition process: from an end-user submitting composition requirements until the presentation of the a composition execution results. Some methods of an artifi cial intelligence (AI) planning research fi eld were used in proposed web service composition approach.

Composition Properties

Web services have become popular as a vehicle for the design, integration, composition, reuse, and deployment of distributed and heterogeneous software. However, although industry standards for the description, composition, and orchestration of Web services have been under development, their conceptual underpinnings are not fully understood. Conceptual models for service specification are rare, as are investigations based on them. This paper presents and studies a multi-level service composition model that perceives service specification as going through several levels of abstraction. It starts from transactional operations at the lowest level and abstracts into activities at higher levels that are close to the service provider or end user. The authors treat service composition from a specification and execution point of view, where the former is about composition logic and the latter about transactional guarantees. Consequently, the model allows for the specification of a number of transactional properties, such as atomicity and guaranteed termination, at all levels. Different ways of achieving the composition properties and implications of the model are presented. The authors also discuss how the model subsumes practical proposals like the OASIS Business Transaction Protocol, Sun’s WS-TXM, and execution aspects of the BPEL4WS standard.
