“…In addition, there have been some works (Amarouche et al 2011;Barhamgi et al 2010;Hwang et al 2012) that intend to select and compose data-providing (DP) services into an execution workflow for data integration. Barahmgi et al (2010) employ query rewriting to find the services conforming to data semantics of query request and generate executable service composition after confirming that all variables of query request are correctly covered by the identified services.…”

“…Barahmgi et al (2010) employ query rewriting to find the services conforming to data semantics of query request and generate executable service composition after confirming that all variables of query request are correctly covered by the identified services. Based on the work of Barahmgi et al (2010), Amarouche et al (2011) propose methods to handle the semantic conflicts of data exchange between component services, such as the conversion between different measuring units. Hwang et al (2012) represent the causal relationship between exchange variables of DP service types using Bayesian network model and intend to find the service composition that provides more available data for the users.…”

A key feature with service-oriented-architecture is to allow flexible composition of services into a business process. Although previous works related to service composition have paved the way for automatic composition, the techniques have limited applicability when it comes to composing complex workflows based on functional requirements, partly due to the large search space of the available services. In this paper, we propose a novel concept, the prospect service. Unlike existing abstract services which possess fixed service interfaces, a prospect service has a flexible interface to allow functional flexibility. Furthermore, we define a meta-model to specify service patterns with prospect services and adaptable workflow constructs to model flexible and adaptable process templates. An automated instantiation method is introduced to instantiate concrete processes with different functionalities from a service pattern. Since the search space for automatically instantiating a process from a service pattern is greatly reduced compared to that for automatically composing a process from scratch, the proposed approach significantly improve the feasibility of automated composition. Empirical study of the service pattern shows that the use of the proposed model significantly outperforms manual composition in terms of composition time and accuracy, and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed automated instantiation method is efficient.

“…The extensive development of medical information requires an infrastructure that uniformly integrates the distributed and heterogeneous collection of e-Health records to deliver value-added information to healthcare [1]. It is argued that implementation of data integration and sharing has many challenges; including lack of technical standardized framework for data collection [3], heterogeneity of data sets and autonomist of data [11,12].…”

This paper reports on a research aimed at developing an electronic data collection and integration tool for heterogeneous data. The article reports on modeling of a generic tool for collecting e-Health data using relational database. It also explores a methodology of collecting Verbal Autopsy data using Mobile devices. The V-Model approach was deployed in developing the Dynamic Link Library. The document engineering approach was adopted to analyze both the property and conceptual model of the information context of the forms. The skipping pattern algorithm was developed and sixteen mapping controls were designed to handle any data format in the Dynamic link library. The model was prototyped using Verbal Autopsy forms. The model is found to be useful in collecting e-Health data using mobile devices. The design of the Dynamic Link Library was loosely coupled to allow adaptation to others digital data collection in biomedical field. In addition, sixteen control classes in the Dynamic Link Library were able to handle more than 250 variables in a Verbal Autopsy form.
