Services will provide an self-contained and standardised interface towards business and are considered as the future platform for business-to-business and business-toconsumer trades. Founded by the complexity of real world business scenarios a huge need for an easy, flexible and automated creation and enactment of service compositions is observed. This survey explores the relationship of service composition with workflow management—a technology/ concept already in use in many business environments. The similarities between the both and the key differences between them are elaborated. Furthermore methods for composition of services ranging from manual, semi- to full-automated composition are sketched. This survey concludes that current tools for service composition are in an immature state and that there is still much research to do before service composition can be used easily and conveniently in real world scenarios. However, since automated service composition is a key enabler for the full potential of Service-oriented Architectures, further research on this field is imperative. This survey closes with a formal sample scenario presented in appendix A to give the reader an impression on how full-automated service composition works.}, language = {en} } @book{DoellnerKirschNienhaus2005, author = {D{\"o}llner, J{\"u}rgen Roland Friedrich and Kirsch, Florian and Nienhaus, Marc}, title = {Visualizing Design and Spatial Assembly of Interactive CSG}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-937786-56-2}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-33771}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {8}, year = {2005}, abstract = {For interactive construction of CSG models understanding the layout of a model is essential for its efficient manipulation. To understand position and orientation of aggregated components of a CSG model, we need to realize its visible and occluded parts as a whole. Hence, transparency and enhanced outlines are key techniques to assist comprehension. We present a novel real-time rendering technique for visualizing design and spatial assembly of CSG models. As enabling technology we combine an image-space CSG rendering algorithm with blueprint rendering. Blueprint rendering applies depth peeling for extracting layers of ordered depth from polygonal models and then composes them in sorted order facilitating a clear insight of the models. We develop a solution for implementing depth peeling for CSG models considering their depth complexity. Capturing surface colors of each layer and later combining the results allows for generating order-independent transparency as one major rendering technique for CSG models. We further define visually important edges for CSG models and integrate an image-space edgeenhancement technique for detecting them in each layer. In this way, we extract visually important edges that are directly and not directly visible to outline a model's layout. Combining edges with transparency rendering, finally, generates edge-enhanced depictions of image-based CSG models and allows us to realize their complex, spatial assembly.}, language = {en} } @book{MeyerKuropka2005, author = {Meyer, Harald and Kuropka, Dominik}, title = {Requirements for service composition}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-937786-81-0}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-33096}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {27}, year = {2005}, abstract = {1 Introduction 2 Use case Scenario 3 General Composition Requirements 4 Functional Requirements of Service Composition 5 Non-Functional Requirements 6 Conclusion}, language = {en} } @book{LinckelsMeinel2005, author = {Linckels, Serge and Meinel, Christoph}, title = {An e-librarian service : natural language interface for an efficient semantic search within multimedia resources}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-937786-89-6}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-33088}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {40}, year = {2005}, abstract = {1 Introduction 1.1 Project formulation 1.2 Our contribution 2 Pedagogical Aspect 4 2.1 Modern teaching 2.2 Our Contribution 2.2.1 Autonomous and exploratory learning 2.2.2 Human machine interaction 2.2.3 Short multimedia clips 3 Ontology Aspect 3.1 Ontology driven expert systems 3.2 Our contribution 3.2.1 Ontology language 3.2.2 Concept Taxonomy 3.2.3 Knowledge base annotation 3.2.4 Description Logics 4 Natural language approach 4.1 Natural language processing in computer science 4.2 Our contribution 4.2.1 Explored strategies 4.2.2 Word equivalence 4.2.3 Semantic interpretation 4.2.4 Various problems 5 Information Retrieval Aspect 5.1 Modern information retrieval 5.2 Our contribution 5.2.1 Semantic query generation 5.2.2 Semantic relatedness 6 Implementation 6.1 Prototypes 6.2 Semantic layer architecture 6.3 Development 7 Experiments 7.1 Description of the experiments 7.2 General characteristics of the three sessions, instructions and procedure 7.3 First Session 7.4 Second Session 7.5 Third Session 7.6 Discussion and conclusion 8 Conclusion and future work 8.1 Conclusion 8.2 Open questions A Description Logics B Probabilistic context-free grammars}, language = {en} } @book{BreestBoucheGrundetal.2006, author = {Breest, Martin and Bouch{\´e}, Paul and Grund, Martin and Haubrock, S{\"o}ren and H{\"u}ttenrauch, Stefan and Kylau, Uwe and Ploskonos, Anna and Queck, Tobias and Schreiter, Torben}, title = {Fundamentals of Service-Oriented Engineering}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-939469-35-3}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-33801}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {Getr.

This paper presents novel methods for creating human-centric illustrative maps for visualizing the movement dynamics in virtual 3D environments. The methods allow a viewer to gain rapid insight into traffic density and flow. The illustrative maps represent vehicle behavior as light threads. Light threads are a familiar visual metaphor caused by moving light sources producing streaks in a long-exposure photograph. A vehicle's front and rear lights produce light threads that convey its direction of motion as well as its velocity and acceleration. The accumulation of light threads allows a viewer to quickly perceive traffic flow and density. The light-thread technique is a key element to effective visualization systems for analytic reasoning, exploration, and monitoring of geospatial processes.}, language = {en} } @book{HuCordelMeinel2006, author = {Hu, Ji and Cordel, Dirk and Meinel, Christoph}, title = {A virtual machine architecture for creating IT-security laboratories}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-939469-13-1}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-33077}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {50}, year = {2006}, abstract = {E-learning is a flexible and personalized alternative to traditional education. Nonetheless, existing e-learning systems for IT security education have difficulties in delivering hands-on experience because of the lack of proximity. Laboratory environments and practical exercises are indispensable instruction tools to IT security education, but security education in con-ventional computer laboratories poses the problem of immobility as well as high creation and maintenance costs. Hence, there is a need to effectively transform security laboratories and practical exercises into e-learning forms. This report introduces the Tele-Lab IT-Security architecture that allows students not only to learn IT security principles, but also to gain hands-on security experience by exercises in an online laboratory environment. In this architecture, virtual machines are used to provide safe user work environments instead of real computers. Thus, traditional laboratory environments can be cloned onto the Internet by software, which increases accessibilities to laboratory resources and greatly reduces investment and maintenance costs. Under the Tele-Lab IT-Security framework, a set of technical solutions is also proposed to provide effective functionalities, reliability, security, and performance. The virtual machines with appropriate resource allocation, software installation, and system configurations are used to build lightweight security laboratories on a hosting computer. Reliability and availability of laboratory platforms are covered by the virtual machine management framework. This management framework provides necessary monitoring and administration services to detect and recover critical failures of virtual machines at run time. Considering the risk that virtual machines can be misused for compromising production networks, we present security management solutions to prevent misuse of laboratory resources by security isolation at the system and network levels. This work is an attempt to bridge the gap between e-learning/tele-teaching and practical IT security education. It is not to substitute conventional teaching in laboratories but to add practical features to e-learning. This report demonstrates the possibility to implement hands-on security laboratories on the Internet reliably, securely, and economically.}, language = {en} }
