Then, both the unified identity authentication and the access control modules are designed according to those analyses. Finally, the unified identity authentication and the access control on the business level are implemented separately. In the unified identity authentication module, based on an improved Kerberos-based authentication approach, a new control transfer method is proposed to solve the sharing problem of tickets among different servers of different departments. In the access control module, the functions of access controls are divided into different granularities to make the access control management more flexible. Moreover, the access control module has significant reference value for user management in similar systems.展开更多

NMSP is a unified national meteorological service platform to provide browsing,searching and displaying of observation,weather forecasting,warning information,historical climate data and network information. NMSP uses the MVC design pattern.For adapting the characteristics of meteorological application,above J2 EE application framework( Struts + Spring + Hibernate),NMSP encapsulates data exchange module which improves flexibility and efficiency of the system development. On March 2015,NMSP( version 2. 0)has been on operational running,which covers six core sections,nearly 100 sub-modules,2000 kinds of service products. It plays an effective supporting role on various types of meteorological service.展开更多

ES, however, is applied unsatisfactorily in most rural areas of China and it has considerably affected and restricted the development of the agricultural informationization. This paper proposed a solution to voice service system of ES, which was suitable for the information transmission, and it especially could help the peasants in remote regions obtain knowledge from ES through the voice service system. As for the disadvantages of massive knowledge data and slow deduction, in this system the classification method could be adopted based on the decision tree. Designing pruning algorithm to "trim off" the unrelated knowledge to the users in query course would simplify the structure of the decision tree and accelerate the speed of deduction before the inference engine deduced the knowledge required by users.展开更多

By separating billing functionality from Service Control Point(SCP) and adopting Diameter protocol to connect the external billing unit, it has much more freedom to perform pre-paid and post-paid services convergence. The platform is a truly open system with Parlay/Open Service Architecture (Parlay/OSA) standards followed, and able to open Application Programming Interfaces (API) to the third parties for service development. ZTE's unified service platform, a leading IN into the future, is a good choice for network operators.展开更多

It thinks that security of the open service interface can be solved by adding the service access gateway and service management platform. The service access gateway provides security features to the open service interface concerning ID authentication, authorization, audit, encryption and integrity protection. For service deployment, its security can be solved by issuing related user digital certificates, deploying a firewall or an intrusion detection system, implementing load control, managing users' home location and displaying users' real-time IP addresses.展开更多
