商品描述

With recent advances in radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology, sensor networks, and enhanced Web services, the original World Wide Web is continuing its evolution into what is being called the Web of Things and Services. Such a Web will support an ultimately interactive environment where everyday physical objects such as buildings, sidewalks, and commodities become recognizable, addressable, and even controllable via a mostly ubiquitous Web. This integration of the physical and virtual worlds will fundamentally impact the way we live and in doing so afford tremendous new business opportunities with great human benefit, such as support services to keep the elderly independent, and intelligent traffic management that will cut wasted hours from every day. More efficient supply chains, improved environmental monitoring, better access to health services … the list is endless.

Enabling Context-Aware Web Services: Methods, Architectures, and Technologies compiles the newest developments and advances driving this new age forward. With contributions from leading researchers across the world this pioneering work bridges the gap between context-awareness and Web services. A comprehensive presentation of what’s already accomplished and what is possible, the chapters of this book are systematically organized into three major sections:

  • Methods focuses on the principle of context awareness in Web services and various ways to model those services at the specification level.
  • Architectures details the infrastructures, frameworks, and standards needed to build context-aware Web services.
  • Technologies presents a cornucopia of techniques adapted from once isolated research areas including semantic Web, database, and artificial intelligence development, as well as formal methods being employed to improve the development of context-aware Web services.

Researchers, engineers, entrepreneurs, and educators across any number of fields will find new ideas worth considering, jumping-off points for developing improved software and applications, and seeds for business ventures that efficiently deliver needed products, information, or services. The possibilities are as limitless as we dare to imagine.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

隨著近年來無線射頻識別(RFID)技術、感測器網絡和增強型網絡服務的進步,原始的萬維網正在繼續演變成被稱為物聯網和服務的網絡。這樣的網絡將支持一個最終互動的環境,其中日常物理物體(如建築物、人行道和商品)可以通過普遍存在的網絡被識別、定址甚至控制。物理世界和虛擬世界的融合將從根本上影響我們的生活方式,並為我們帶來巨大的商業機會和人類利益,例如為老年人提供支持服務以保持獨立,以及智能交通管理將減少每天的浪費時間。更高效的供應鏈、改善的環境監測、更好的健康服務訪問...這個列表是無窮無盡的。

《啟用上下文感知網絡服務:方法、架構和技術》匯集了推動這個新時代前進的最新發展和進步。這本開創性的著作由世界各地的領先研究人員貢獻,填補了上下文感知和網絡服務之間的差距。本書系統地介紹了已經實現和可能實現的內容,章節分為三個主要部分:

- 方法:專注於網絡服務中上下文感知的原則以及在規範層面上建模這些服務的各種方法。
- 架構:詳細介紹構建上下文感知網絡服務所需的基礎設施、框架和標準。
- 技術:提供了從曾經孤立的研究領域中適應的技術寶庫,包括語義網絡、數據庫和人工智能開發,以及用於改進上下文感知網絡服務開發的形式方法。

無論在任何領域,研究人員、工程師、企業家和教育工作者都會發現值得考慮的新思想,開發改進的軟件和應用程序的起點,以及高效提供所需產品、信息或服務的商業創業種子。可能性就像我們敢於想像的那樣無限。
