web service implementations Research Articles (Page 1)

Web service-based application development has become a vital component of the modern in-formation technology ecosystem. The implementation of web services facilitates interoperability among diverse systems and platforms. REST API (REpresentational State Transfer Application Programming Interface) is one of the most popular architectures for creating efficient and scalable web services. This study examines the implementation of REST API in the development of web service-based applications. The case study focuses on the creation of a Web service-based Research Proposal Selection System. The REST API implementation method in this study adheres to the system development life cycle (SDLC) to ensure that the developed API meets business needs while being efficient, secure, and reliable. The analysis phase is conducted to gather both functional and non-functional REST API requirements. During the design phase, the REST API architecture is designed in detail, including how data will be transferred and processed, and how the API will interact with databases and other systems. Furthermore, in the implementation phase, the REST API is developed, ensuring that each endpoint operates correctly. In developing the Proposal Selection System, the implementation of web services integrates data from various existing sys-tems, including employee, academic, and research data. The system encompasses various features, such as proposal import, proposal mapping, proposal review, proposal assessment, proposal se-lection, and reporting. The research findings indicate that implementing the REST API simplifies the development of web service applications. The test results reveal that the average response time is relatively stable, measuring 31 ms without iterations and 29 ms with five iterations.

The OKI District Population and Civil Registration Service have implemented the employee attendance information system by utilizing a fingerprint machine. This system is quite helpful in recording employee attendance properly. However, several obstacles are found in the implementation of the system. Namely, calculating the attendance percentage is still done manually because the data must be further processed using additional applications. Based on these obstacles, this study aims to implement web service technology using the protocol SOAP to integrate the system currently used. The system will automatically download fingerprint machine data and process it into attendance percentage reports, so that it can be more optimal and increase efficiency. The data obtained will be used by the staffing department, including one of the factors for measuring employee performance and determining Additional Employee Income (TPP).

The article describes a method for developing and modelling composite web-services. Web-service composition is used to derive new functionality from the interaction of existing web-services. Composite web-services are built in several stages: specifications (determining the type of service); development of the structure of the service based on the algebra of services; service composition modelling; selecting a service variant and generating a service. The main elements of the proposed approach are the algebra of services and web-services interaction models (basic and composite). The above approach formally presents the consideration of the main aspects in solving problems related to the construction of effective composite web-services and the selection of mathematical models, namely: description of web-services, determining the structure of web-services, taking into account the dynamics of information changes, taking into account the main uncertainties in building the structure web-services. Based on the approach, a method for constructing composite web-services has been developed. The method is based on an algebraic description of a web-service based on a specialized algebra of services. The method consists of the following steps: description of the task of developing a web-service; development of the structure of a web service based on the algebra of services; formal description of the structure and clarification of service operations; building models of functioning and interaction of service components; building simulation models of the composite service; defining the final structure of the composite service; web-service implementation. The main tool for describing composite services is the algebra of services, and the model building tool is colouredPetri nets implemented using СPN Tools. As an example of the application of the developed method, the construction of a pharmaceutical service is described, in which the modellingof the interaction of web-services based on Petri nets is used. The process of building a composite model of a web-service is considered. The process begins with building a pharmaceutical web-service model structure based on the service algebra. Based on the service algebra, operators were developed to implement composite services. The structure of the model is developed, which is presented in the form of a formal description. The process of building pharmaceutical service models in the СPN Tools environment is described in detail.

Neutron flux measurements are important in fusion devices for both safety requirements and physics studies. A new system has been built for the Mega-Amp Spherical Tokamak Upgrade (MAST Upgrade) that provides neutron count, DC, and Campbell mode measurements for a 1 µs period at 1MHz. The acquisition system uses a Red Pitaya board to sample current from two fission chambers mounted on the side of the MAST-U vessel. The system-on-chip design of the Zynq-7020 on the Red Pitaya also allows a web server implementation using Flask for data retrieval and diagnostic configuration over the MAST Upgrade network.

Remote control networks have become a key area of research within wireless communication technology. Zigbee technology fills the gap in the market for low-cost, low-power wireless solutions. This paper presents the design and application of a wireless sensor network web server based on the S3C2410 microcontroller and the Zigbee protocol. The server enables real-time monitoring and control of remote objects. Using a B/S architecture and modular design approach, both hardware and software components are detailed, with an emphasis on key implementation techniques. The system has been demonstrated to operate stably with excellent scalability, making it suitable for applications in smart homes, monitoring systems, industrial control, and other domains.

Computer computer-based information systems at an institution are often built in stages and separately. Data integration between subsystems is not well connected. The results in differences in the data structures or the number of records between one subsystem and another so that the data presented is not aligned. This study aims to design and implement a RESTful Web Service so that other information subsystems can use employee data from the Management Information System. The four stages in this research are observing the information system currently running, analyzing the data integration needs, designing and coding the RESTful Web Service API, implementing and testing the response time.

Streaming is the continuous transmission of audio or video files from a server to a client. Streaming is real-time, and it's more efficient than downloading media files. Just like other data that is sent over the Internet, audio and video data is broken down into data packets. Each packet contains a small piece of the file, and an audio or video player in the browser on the client device takes the flow of data packets and interprets them as video or audio. The concept of video streaming services means free or subscription-based services offering online streaming of films and television programs. Video streaming platforms allow people to watch videos anywhere and anytime, provided they have an Internet connection, or even without it, if the preload option is available. This article covers the concepts of streaming, streaming media, and video streaming services. The subject matter is implementation of a video streaming web service with monolithic architecture. Selection justification is given for the architecture type. Explanations for the specific implementation details are provided as well. The service is flexible enough to carry out predetermined tasks and provides ample opportunities to adapt to various hardware platforms.

The development of e-commerce in Indonesia in the last five years has significantly increased the growth for logistics service companies. The Indonesian Logistics and Forwarders Association (ALFI) has predicted the growth potential of the logistics business in Indonesia to reach more than 30% by 2020. One of the efforts of logistics business companies to improve services in the logistics services business competition is to implement web service technology on mobile platforms, to easy access to services for customers. This research aims to build a web service with a RESTful approach. The REST architecture has limitations in the form of no authentication mechanism, so users can access and modify data. To improve its services, JSON Web Token (JWT) technology is needed in the authentication process and security of access rights. In terms of data storage and transmission security, a cryptographic algorithm is also needed to encrypt and maintain confidentiality in the database. RC4 algorithm is a cryptographic algorithm that is famous for its speed in the encoding process. RC4 encryption results are processed with the Base64 Algorithm so that encrypted messages can be stored in a database. The combination of the RC4 method with the Base64 method has strengthened aspects of database security. This research resulted in a prototype application that was built with a combination of web service methods, JWT and cryptographic techniques. The test results show that the web service application at the logistics service company that was created can run well with relatively fast access time, which is an average of 176 ms. With this access time, the process of managing data and information becomes more efficient because before making this application the process of handling a transaction takes up to 20 minutes.

Today’s concept of Open Government Data (OGD) for openness, transparency and ease of access of data owned by government agencies becomes increasingly important. This initiative emerges from the demand of data users for the data belongs to the government agencies. The data services providing an easy access, cheap, fast, and interoperability are needed by the users and becomes important indicator performance for respective government agencies. Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX) is a new standard format in the data dissemination activities particularly in the exchange of statistical data and metadata via Internet. In this respect SDMX support the implementation of OGD project. This paper is on the technical design, development and implementation of data and metadata exchange service of statistical data using SDMX format to support interoperability data through web services. Three results are proposed: (i) framework for standardization of structure of statistical publications data model with SDMX; (ii) design architecture of data sharing model; and (iii) web service implementation of data and metadata exchange service using Service Oriented Analysis and Design (SOAD) method. Implementation at Statistics Indonesia (BPS) is chosen as a case study to prove the design concept. It is shown through quantitative assessment and black box testing that the design achieves its objective. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v14i2.7505

Agent-based Web service composition has become one of the most challenging research issues. Many composition techniques and formalizations have been proposed, but they are neither mature nor flexible. They assume that each sub-task is an atomic process, hence it cannot be decomposed based on user requirements. Moreover, those techniques and formalizations are not suitable for dynamic environments such as the language service domain. Language service requires a flexible formalization to accommodate the user's language skills in conjunction with QoS. The key contributions of this paper are (i) a complete formalization that ideally reflects the nature of real applications and permits extension of the original abstract workflow (in case of failure); (ii) a novel agent-based protocol able to find satisfying solutions for this problem in real time to allow restriction and/or relaxation within the original workflow; (iii) a hybrid architecture of service-oriented computing and multi-agent systems for implementing Abstract Web service, Information analysis, and User agents. Experiments are presented to find solutions that can be executed within a feasible time and space.

Different types of global information network services, used in the modern distributed software systems are described. Several approaches to service description and to service interaction are shown. Description of wide-spread and inculcated approaches to creation of distributed object interaction is given in the wide practice of the systems with spectrum of system and functional services. Web-service international standards stack (SOAP protocol, WSDL language, UDDI interface and service, XML, BPEL and BPMN notations, CORBA object broker and services, JEE application server) is briefly described. Models of web services, service-oriented approach (SOA), service-component architectures (SCA), and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service support application systems are considered for presentation of the business systems by the services ready to the decision of business-tasks. Features that support interoperability and multilanguage interaction are underlined. Principles of distributed software design (service composition, component engineering, interoperability, variance) that are of special care in SOA are listed. Some examples of presenting information using standard notations are given. An additional example of calculator service with functions of the data processing in ITK service-environment (WCF-based system) and the concept of web service implementation are presented.

Personal medical records of the patient in electronic form are the basis of modern health care information. With the development of medical technologies for patients have more opportunities to independently monitor various indicators of health. Currently, the process of self-observation of the patient is not possible without the use of modern medical equipment, allowing to measure the vital parameters of the body.It is important to storage and processing of information on the measured patient or family health indicators in a single system. This function is implemented in the Web services introspection of patient. Review of the most popular implementations of Web services listed in this article.

This paper describes a Web server implementation of the hierarchical aggregate assessment process in the field of education. This process describes itself as a field of teamwork assessment where teams can have multiple levels of hierarchy and supervision. This process is applied everywhere and is part of the management, education, assessment and computer science fields. The E-Assessment website named “Cluster” records in its database the students, the course material, the teams and the hierarchical relationships between the students. For the present research, the hierarchical relationships are team member, team leader and group administrator appointments. The group administrators have the responsibility to supervise team leaders. The experimentation of the application has been performed by high school students in geology courses and Canadian army cadets for navigation patrols in teams. This research extends the work of Nance that uses a hierarchical aggregation process similar as the one implemented in the “Cluster” application. Keywords—E-Learning, E-Assessment, Teamwork assessment, Hierarchical aggregate assessment.

Today, the IETF Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) is being standardised. CoAP takes the internet of things to the next level: it enables the implementation of RESTful web services on embedded devices, thus enabling the construction of an easily accessible web of things. However, before tiny objects can make themselves available through embedded web services, several manual configuration steps are still needed to integrate a sensor network within an existing networking environment. In this paper, we describe a novel selforganisation solution to facilitate the deployment of constrained networks and enable the discovery, end-to-end connectivity and service usage of these newly deployed sensor nodes. By using embedded web service technology, the need of other protocols on these resource constrained devices is avoided. It allows automatic hierarchical discovery of CoAP servers, resulting in a browsable hierarchy of CoAP servers, which can be accessed both over CoAP and hypertext transfer protocol.

One advantage of WSRF Web Service is to establish loosely connective system by itself. This kind of system is easier to be updated than strongly connective system, and its demand of the system is little in real implementation of Web Service. Loose connection is a favorite design pattern for a researcher in software design. GRB (Grid Resource Broker) system has to consider how the control flow flows from a service to another one and emphasize on designing the implementation of indexing service in GT5(Globus toolkits 5). GRB system centers on resource administration in computing grid environment and carries out the research surrounding numerous key technologies. The resource publication, querying resource, spending resource, file transfer service and system security problem of GRB system are analyzed and designed, and thus some exploration on the research related to grid computing and its grid application is done.

The identification of RNA-binding residues in proteins is important in several areas such as protein function, posttranscriptional regulation and drug design. We have developed PRBR (Prediction of RNA Binding Residues), a novel method for identifying RNA-binding residues from amino acid sequences. Our method combines a hybrid feature with the enriched random forest (ERF) algorithm. The hybrid feature is composed of predicted secondary structure information and three novel features: evolutionary information combined with conservation information of the physicochemical properties of amino acids and the information about dependency of amino acids with regards to polarity-charge and hydrophobicity in the protein sequences. Our results demonstrate that the PRBR model achieves 0.5637 Matthew's correlation coefficient (MCC) and 88.63% overall accuracy (ACC) with 53.70% sensitivity (SE) and 96.97% specificity (SP). By comparing the performance of each feature we found that all three novel features contribute to the improved predictions. Area under the curve (AUC) statistics from receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was compared between PRBR model and other models. The results show that PRBR achieves the highest AUC value (0.8675) which represents that PRBR attains excellent performance on predicting the RNA-binding residues in proteins. The PRBR web-server implementation is freely available at http://www.cbi.seu.edu.cn/PRBR/.

The authors include a broader comparison with existing tools on Symbian and Linux platforms and evaluate the code size and performance.

Numerous studies are currently underway to characterize the microbial communities inhabiting our world. These studies aim to dramatically expand our understanding of the microbial biosphere and, more importantly, hope to reveal the secrets of the complex symbiotic relationship between us and our commensal bacterial microflora. An important prerequisite for such discoveries are computational tools that are able to rapidly and accurately compare large datasets generated from complex bacterial communities to identify features that distinguish them.We present a statistical method for comparing clinical metagenomic samples from two treatment populations on the basis of count data (e.g. as obtained through sequencing) to detect differentially abundant features. Our method, Metastats, employs the false discovery rate to improve specificity in high-complexity environments, and separately handles sparsely-sampled features using Fisher's exact test. Under a variety of simulations, we show that Metastats performs well compared to previously used methods, and significantly outperforms other methods for features with sparse counts. We demonstrate the utility of our method on several datasets including a 16S rRNA survey of obese and lean human gut microbiomes, COG functional profiles of infant and mature gut microbiomes, and bacterial and viral metabolic subsystem data inferred from random sequencing of 85 metagenomes. The application of our method to the obesity dataset reveals differences between obese and lean subjects not reported in the original study. For the COG and subsystem datasets, we provide the first statistically rigorous assessment of the differences between these populations. The methods described in this paper are the first to address clinical metagenomic datasets comprising samples from multiple subjects. Our methods are robust across datasets of varied complexity and sampling level. While designed for metagenomic applications, our software can also be applied to digital gene expression studies (e.g. SAGE). A web server implementation of our methods and freely available source code can be found at http://metastats.cbcb.umd.edu/.

WS-SecurityPolicy is a declarative language for configuring web services security mechanisms. We describe a formal semantics for WS-SecurityPolicy and propose a more abstract language for specifying secure links between web services and their clients. We present the architecture and implementation of tools that (1) compile policy files from link specifications, and (2) verify by invoking a theorem prover whether a set of policy files run by any number of senders and receivers correctly implements the goals of a link specification, in spite of active attackers. Policy-driven web services implementations are prone to the usual subtle vulnerabilities associated with cryptographic protocols; our tools help prevent such vulnerabilities. We can verify policies when first compiled from link specifications, and also re-verify policies against their original goals after any modifications during deployment. Moreover, we present general security theorems for all configurations that rely on compiled policies.
