“…On the contrary, WS-* services exhibit all but the first property. A uniform interface shared by all services plus non-standardized documentation make the automatic discovery of RESTful services very hard in public repositories (Adamczyk et al, 2011). Besides, RESTful Web Services currently do not use a standardized format for representing resources -e.g., XML messages.…”

Service-Oriented Computing promotes building applications by consuming reusable services. However, facing the selection of adequate services for a specific application still is a major challenge. Even with a reduced set of candidate services, the effort on assessing candidates could be overwhelming. We have defined an approach to assist developers in the selection of services, which mainly comprises an assessment process for service Interface Compatibility. This assessment process is based on a comprehensive structural scheme for services' interfaces matching. The scheme allows developers to gain knowledge on likely services' interactions and their required adaptations to achieve a successful integration. We evaluated the performance of the Interface Compatibility analysis with a data-set of 453 services and two different service discovery registries. The experiments shown an improvement of up to 17% in precision and up to 8% in the DCG usefulness metric, with regard to the previous results obtained using only textual (syntactical) queries.

“…Due to the high demand of computational power, graph generation and optimisation are performed on the server side. Client-server communication is realised via a RESTful web service [36]. Figure 2 shows the routing criteria definition interface of the designed Add-In.…”

German nuclear power phase out in 2022 leads to significant reconstruction of the energy transmission system. Thus, efficient identification of practical transmission routes with minimum impact on ecological and economical interests is of growing importance. Due to the sensitivity of Germany's public to grid expansion (especially in case of overhead lines), the participation and planning process needs to provide a high degree of openness and accountability. Therefore, a new methodological approach for the computer-assisted finding of optimal power-line routes considering planning, ecological and economic decision criteria is presented. The approach is implemented in a tool-chain for the determination of transmission line routes (and sets of transmission line route alternatives) based on multi-criteria optimisation. Additionally, a decision support system, based on common Geographic Information Systems (GIS), consisting of interactive visualisation and exploration of the solution space is proposed.

“…The advantage of including cache constraints is to improve the efficiency, scalability, and performance and reduce the latency of interactions. The methods used are GET, POST, PUT and DELETE operations [3] which are based on the http method used to create, retrieve, update, and delete operations on resources, respectively. The restful approach significantly reduces the transparencies that are caused by the required processing of SOAP-based messages due to the open and uniform identifying scheme.…”

“…REST does not restrict client-server communication to a particular protocol, but it is the most commonly used with HTTP because HTTP is the primary transfer protocol. The building blocks of the Web are called resources [3].Resources are manipulated through messages that have standard meanings on the Web called as HTTP methods. Resources are named with uniform resource identifier (URIs) [2].…”
