This is critical for service resource sharing and for implementing on-demand services. This paper discusses key technologies of service virtualization, including encapsulation of service interoperability （for available resources）; ontology-based Role, Goal, Process, and Service （RGPS） metamodeling （for interoperable aggregation and organization of virtualization services）; registration and repository management of Metamodel Framework for Interoperability （MFI） （for virtualization service management）; and virtualization service ontology and its represented association with RGP＆ Latest progress of the MFI and ISQ standards is also discussed.展开更多

To minimize this impact, many in the healthcare industry are highly interested in supporting prescription adherence among patients. They believe that information technology in general, and mobile technology in particular, can help in developing medical practices that can be highly conducive to high rates of prescription adherence by enhancing communication between patients and healthcare providers. To this end, a number of pharmacy management benefit companies plan to adopt SMS （Short Message Service） communication to reach their customers given the wider acceptance of SMS messaging among mobile phone users. However, most of these pharmacies are reluctant to purchase service agreements from SMS aggregators without a complete understanding of user, service and business requirements related to SMS messaging. Hence, many are in dire needs for prototypes of SMS servers that can help them define and refine these requirements before committing to costly agreements with SMS aggregators. This paper describes such a prototype for a pharmacy benefit management company located in the southeast of the United States.展开更多

Here we propose a new service architecture suitable for integra- tion and sharing of distributed multi-source geographic information. We also propose a global virtual pyramid model, which can be applied in 3D virtual globes. In view of the difficulty of web multi-node geographic information sharing service, we propose a web multi-node service aggregation method, integrated in our autonomously developed virtual globe platform Geo- Globe and introduced in the National Platform for Common GeoSpatial Information Services named ＂T1ANDITU＂. It achieves 2D and 3D integration for geographic information service.展开更多
