Oriented Approach

This paper presents a service-oriented methodology for ontology modeling and engineering to support the semantics-based integration of manufacturing systems and processes. The proposed methodology is based on the OWL-S semantic service description framework. It specifies a service-oriented ontological engineering process and a set of methods and techniques to address the issues of semantic description of the virtualized services, standardization, ontology repository, as well as the support for automatic service discovery, composition and interoperation of the ontology-driven software applications. The approach has been used for ontology modeling of product lifecycle processes, such as for developing ontologies of quality assurance processes in the product design. By illustrating the construction of an application service ontology for the design quality process management, this paper shows how the service-oriented approach is used to capture the semantic concepts in the domain. It further describes how the captured semantics are used for OWL-S based service discovery and composition in design quality process management.

Concise Description

One of the key challenges of the Service Oriented Architecture is the discovery of relevant services for a given task. In Semantic Web Services, service discovery is generally achieved by using the service profile ontology of OWL-S. Profile of a service is a derived, concise description and not a functional part of the semantic web service. There is no schema present in the service profile to describe the input, output (IO), and the IOs in the service profile are not always annotated with ontology concepts, whereas the process model has such a schema to describe the IOs which are always annotated with ontology concepts. In this paper, we propose a complementary sophisticated matchmaking approach which uses the concrete process model ontology of OWL-S instead of the concise service profile ontology. Empirical analysis shows that high precision and recall can be achieved by using the process model-based service discovery.

Software as a service (SaaS) is one type of the cloud computing that has gained more popularity in the world. It is a way of delivering the software through the internet to its end users. Then users can use it through subscriptions from vendors.  Users have to pay only for what they use. SaaS architecture is a very high level model which is based on Application Service Provider (ASP) concept and Service Oriented Architecture. Currently many organizations are using SaaS as it is a service centric model and it uses technologies like multi-tenant architecture which in turn provides the users with many desired set of features. SaaS also have some security challenges which can be classified under data, application and deployment of SaaS architecture. Furthermore there are many emerging trends in SaaSwhich are focused on full filling advanced customer demands. This research study is evaluating the current trends, approaches and applications of SAAS.

This paper presents a service-oriented After-sales services system in Mechanical Engineering Industry. Typical After-sales services include status tracking services by customers, customer services, assignors and assignees. Therefore, the proposed After-sales service tracking management system work in the progress from the case study is conducted. Our system can connect with other service-related systems, such as enterprise content management repository system and business process management system. The After-sales services system is developed by consulting and visiting the machine tools manufacturers.
