QoS Aggregation in Web Service Compositions

2005 IEEE International Conference on e-Technology, e-Commerce and e-Service, 2005
For the composition of Web services non-functional characteristics are commonly considered criteria for finding and selecting available services. Our work focuses on a mechanism that determines the overall quality-of-service (QoS) of a composition by aggregating the QoS of the individual services. With aggregated QoS it can be verified whether a set of

Choosing Aggregation Rules for Composite Indicators

Social Indicators Research, 2011
From a formal point of view, a composite indicator is an aggregate of all dimensions, objectives, individual indicators and variables used for its construction. This implies that what defines a composite indicator is the set of properties underlying its mathematical aggregation convention.

Aggregation Ordering for Massively Compositional Models

2010 10th International Conference on Application of Concurrency to System Design, 2010
Compositional modeling is a powerful way of expressing the behavior of a complex system through the interaction of its components. Analysis of compositional models is difficult because of the state space explosion. One solution is compositional aggregation where composition and aggregation steps are intertwined.

Evolved Diffusion Limited Aggregation Compositions

2008
Diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) is a simulation technique for modeling dendritic growth. It has seen limited use for artistic purposes. We consider an evolutionary scheme for evolving DLA compositions with multiple seed particles. As a consequence we are led to consider robustness and stability issues related to the use of evolutionary computation ...

A Composite Good Theorem for Simple Sum Aggregates

Econometrica, 1978
IN THE ANALYSIS of economic data the investigator is frequently provided with only the simple sum of some elementary variables. The elementary variables are known to be perfect substitutes (i.e., to have the same effect) in some contexts, but not in all the relevant ones.

An aggregate fuzzy hazardous index for composite wastes

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2006
In this paper, a fuzzy waste index for evaluating the hazard posed by composite wastes generated from industrial processes is proposed. Within this methodology, a fuzzy index as a measure of hazardousness of a given composite waste is derived from the crisp inputs of its component's flammability, corrosivity, toxicity and reactivity attributes based on

Structure and Composition of Sodium Taurocholate Micellar Aggregates

Langmuir, 1999
The structure and composition of sodium taurocholate (NaTC), a very important and carefully studied trihydroxy bile salt in humans, were studied. X-ray and emf measurements enabled to solve some crystal structures. It was found that the structural units of these salts have an approximate shape of an elliptic cylinder and a roughly elliptic cross ...

A Strength Prediction of Aggregated Composites

Journal of Composite Materials, 1969
This paper is concerned with the development of a theory to predict the strength and failure mechanisms of systems consisting of discrete aggregated particles held together in some fashion. From a practical viewpoint, this would include materials such as plain and asphaltic concrete, and soils.

Membrane composition determines the fate of aggregated vesicles

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry, 2005
Vesicles incorporating a fluorescent metal-chelating lipid can be linked together by addition of copper(II) and poly-L-histidine, but the stability of adhering vesicles towards fusion depends upon membrane composition.

Objects Working Together: Association, Aggregation, and Composition

2012
Many objects can be seen as being made up of smaller objects. For example, a clock is made up of a number of components that together combine to make the whole object. The combination of objects may exist in many layers, with a larger component (such as the mechanism) being itself made up of a collection of smaller components.
