Public Bicycle System (PBS) has been developed for short-distance transportation as a part of the mass transportation system. The supply and demand of bikes in PBS is usually unbalanced at different stations and needs to be continuously and widely monitored and redistributed. The bicycle redistribution is a part of the vehicle routing problem (VRP). We can apply solutions to the VRP to redistribute bicycle efficiently. However, most solutions to the VRP use the Euclidean distance as the condition factor, which does not take road conditions, traffic regulations, and geographical factors into account, resulting in unnecessary waste of delivery time and human resources. In this work, we propose an actual path distance optimization method for the VRP to adapt the several additional constraints of road problems. We also implement a system that integrates real-time station information, Web GIS, the urban road network, and heuristics algorithms for PBS. The system includes a simulator inside that can assist PBS managers to do the route planning efficiently and find the best scheduling strategy to achieve hotspot analysis and the adjustment of station deployment strategies to reduce PBS operation cost.

The technology that integrates various types of Web contents to build a new Web application through end-user programming is widely used nowadays. However, the Web contents do not have a uniform interface for accessing the data and computation. Most of the general Web users access information on the Web through applications until now. Hence, designing a uniform and°e xible programmatic interface for integration of di®erent Web contents is unavoidable. In this paper, we propose an approach that can be used to analyze Web applications automatically and reuse the information of Web applications through the programmatic interface we designed. Our approach can support the°exible integration of Web applications, Web services and Web feeds. In our experiments, we use a large number of Web pages from di®erent types of Web applications and achieve the integration by the proposed programmatic interfaces. The experimental results show that our approach brings to the end-users a°exible and user-friendly programming environment.

“…A common term that has been coined over the past five years which aptly describes the type of nimble design that can be provided through web services integration is “mashups”. A mashup involves rapid prototyping of services integrating several types of information using web based APIs providing versatile user interfaces (Nachouki and Quafafou, 2011). Web‐based mashups are in many cases backed by federated database management systems which are loosely or tightly coupled in order to combine different data stores into a unified interface for data consumption.…”

Purpose -This column aims to investigate the possibilities of web services for the integration of information with relevant services. Design/methodology/approach -This is a viewpoint paper. Findings -This column encourages the exploration of web services based on careful analysis and semantic ontologies in order to provide relevant integration of services and information. Practical implications -The rapid proliferation of web services -whether RESTful or SOAP based -offers many opportunities both internally and externally for libraries, but the adoption of web services needs to be tempered with careful planning and analysis. Originality/value -The column offers some interesting suggestions for exploring theoretical options in the adoption of web service information and services. Some technical aspects of web service technology are discussed and then related to the core mission of librarianship, which is to assist patrons in navigating the great breadth of data available in increasing quantities via web service technology.
