Extending Web Services Technologies addresses the rapidly growing impact of Multi-Agent Systems on web services tools and techniques. In particular, the book addresses the potential for MAS techniques to impact the difficult challenges that must be tackled for web services technology to realize its promises. The area of web services offers the multi-agent community exciting research possibilities, including similarities in system architectures, powerful tools, and a focus on issues such as trust and reliability. Likewise, techniques developed in the multi-agent research community promise to have a strong impact on this fast growing technology. The contents contain contributions by leading international researchers and professionals from both the web services and Multi-Agent Systems community. Topics include semantic web services and associated standards, architectures integrating agents and services, transactions, authorization, and service composition.

Empowering IoT with Big Data Analytics provides comprehensive coverage of major topics, tools, and techniques related to empowering IoT with big data technologies and big data analytics solutions, thus allowing for better processing, analysis, protection, distribution, and visualization of data for the benefit of IoT applications and second, a better deployment of IoT applications on the ground. This book covers big data in the IoT era, its application domains, current state-of-the-art in big data and IoT technologies, standards, platforms, and solutions. This book provides a holistic view of the big data value-chain for IoT, including storage, processing, protection, distribution, analytics, and visualization.Big data is a multi-disciplinary topic involving handling intensive, continuous, and heterogeneous data retrieved from different sources including sensors, social media, and embedded systems. The emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) and its application to many domains has led to the generation of huge amounts of both structured and unstructured data often referred to as big data.

Introduces fundamental concepts of big data analytics and their applications to IoTHelps readers learn to leverage big data storage, processing and analysis tools, and techniques to promote IoT applications for better decision-makingExplores federated learning in big data to ensure data privacy and handle data heterogeneity

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the First International Conference on Intelligent Cloud Computing, held in Muscat, Oman, in February 2014. They include 5 invited talks from leading organizations working in cloud computing in Oman and in the region.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing: Agents, Semantics, and Engineering, SOCASE 2007, held in Honolulu, HI, USA as an associated event of AAMAS 2007. The volume is rounded off with selected four best papers from the Service-Oriented Computing and Agent-based Engineering Workshop, SOCABE 2006, held at AAMAS 2006.

The globaltrendtowardsmore?exible anddynamic businessprocessintegration and automation has led to a convergence of interests between service-oriented computing, semantic technology, and intelligent multiagent systems. In parti- lar the areas of service-oriented computing and semantic technology o?er much interestto the multiagentsystemcommunity,including similaritiesin system- chitectures and provision processes, powerful tools, and the focus on issues such as quality of service, security, and reliability. Similarly, techniques developed in themultiagentsystemsandsemantictechnologypromisetohaveastrongimpact on the fast-growing service-oriented computing technology. Service-oriented computing has emerged as an established paradigm for d- tributed computing and e-business processing. It utilizes services as fundam- tal building blocks to enable the development of agile networks of collaborating business applications distributed within and across organizational boundaries.Services are self-contained, platform-independent software components that can be described, published, discovered, orchestrated, and deployed for the purpose of developing distributed applications across large heterogeneous networks such as the Internet. Multiagent systems are also aimed at the development of distributed - plications, however, from a di?erent but complementary perspective. Servi- oriented paradigmsaremainly focused on syntacticaland declarativede?nitions of software components, their interfaces, communication channels, and ca- bilities with the aim of creating interoperable and reliable infrastructures. In contrast, multiagent systems center on the development of reasoning and pl- ning capabilities of autonomous problem solvers that apply behavioral concepts such as interaction, collaboration, or negotiation in order to create ?exible and fault-tolerant distributed systems for dynamic and uncertain environments.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the International Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing: Agents, Semantics and Engineering, SOCASE 2009, held in Budapest, Hungary, as an associated event of AAMAS 2009, the main international conference on autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. The 10 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers address a range of topics at the intersection of service-oriented computing, semantic technology, and intelligent multiagent systems, such as: service description and discovery; planning, composition and negotiation; semantic processes and service agents; as well as applications.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2011, held in Paphos, Cyprus, in December 2011. The 54 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 184 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on business process modeling, quality of service, formal methods, XaaS computing, service discovery, service security and trust, service runtime infrastructures and service applications.
