An Upper Ontology for Benefits Management of Cloud Computing (2014)
Journal Article
Greenwell, R., Liu, X., & Chalmers, K. (2014). An Upper Ontology for Benefits Management of Cloud Computing. International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, 5(12), https://doi.org/10.14569/IJACSA.2014.051211

Benefits Management provides an established approach for decision making and value extraction for IT/IS investments and, can be used to examine cloud computing investments. The motivation for developing an upper ontology for Benefits Management is th... Read More about An Upper Ontology for Benefits Management of Cloud Computing.

OCSO: Off-the-cloud service optimization for green efficient service resource utilization (2014)
Journal Article
Fang, D., Liu, X., Liu, L., & Yang, H. (2014). OCSO: Off-the-cloud service optimization for green efficient service resource utilization. Journal of cloud computing: advances, systems and applications, 3(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13677-014-0009-1

Many efforts have been made in optimizing cloud service resource management for efficient service provision and delivery, yet little research addresses how to consume the provisioned service resources efficiently. Meanwhile, typical existing resource... Read More about OCSO: Off-the-cloud service optimization for green efficient service resource utilization.

MVICS: a repository and search tool towards holistic semantic-based precise component selection. (2013)
Journal Article

Driven by the continuous expansions of software applications and the increases in component varieties and sizes, the so-called component mismatch problem has become a more severe hurdle for component selection and integration. Although many component... Read More about MVICS: a repository and search tool towards holistic semantic-based precise component selection..

Evolution pattern verification for services evolution in clouds with model driven architecture. (2013)
Journal Article

In this paper we will provide some discovered evolution patterns and its detailed underlying constitution components. Following the featured orientated model driven product line engineering approach for service evolution in clouds, an analysis on...

Jabber-based cross-domain efficient and privacy-ensuring context management framework. (2013)
Journal Article

In pervasive environments, context-aware applications require a global knowledge of the context information distributed in different spatial domains in order to establish context-based interactions. Therefore, the design of distributed storage, retri... Read More about Jabber-based cross-domain efficient and privacy-ensuring context management framework..

A frequency-based maritime container assignment model (2011)
Journal Article

This paper transfers the classic frequency-based transit assignment method of Spiess and Florian to containers demonstrating its promise as the basis for a global maritimecontainerassignmentmodel. In this model, containers are carried by shipping lin... Read More about A frequency-based maritime container assignment model.

An approach to domain-based scalable context management architecture in pervasive environments (2011)
Journal Article
Jaroucheh, Z., Liu, X., & Smith, S. (2012). An approach to domain-based scalable context management architecture in pervasive environments. Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, 16(6), 741-755. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00779-011-0422-0

In pervasive environments, context management systems are expected to administrate large volume of contextual information that is captured from spatial to nonspatial elements. Research in context-aware computing produced a number of middleware system... Read More about An approach to domain-based scalable context management architecture in pervasive environments.
