An Agent-Based Web-Services Monitoring System

An enterprise based on web services can benefit from computer-based monitoring for its normal course of business. No services, delayed services, inadequate services and poor or delayed information flow all hinder or prevent the normal course of business. The health of the service-oriented approach, the communication flow and the services themselves directly equate to the health and vitality of the enterprise. By health we mean, availability, performance, integrity, and reliability of web services. This paper proposes and details an agent based approach for web service monitoring in an enterprise environment. The objective of this approach is to provide enhanced security, improved help desk information and attribution across a diverse web services landscape that is logically a system but physically distributed. The definition of the agents, their logical locations, their functionality and relationships has not been described previously. This architecture provides many advantages over previous methodologies for event monitoring including assignment of overlapping responsibilities, reduction in help desk effort and placement of measurements throughout the upper layers of the web services system. This is also the first enumeration of significant events and information requirements at the service level. It also assigns responsibility to the components （agents, handlers or the service itself） for logging and alerting such events. This architecture is currently being implemented by a major defense entity.

Wireless remote spatiotemporal monitoring of high-fill foundation deformation

The spatial and temporal deformation patterns and deformation control indicators of highfill foundations directly affect the design,construction and operational safety of high-fill projects.In situ monitoring can comprehensively reflect the deformation of high-fill during and after construction.In this paper,we have first designed and installed an integrated wireless remote monitoring system for high-fill to achieve real-time dynamic monitoring of settlement,pore water pressure and soil pressure of the fill foundation.Based on the monitoring results of nearly one year of the construction period and two years after construction,it was found that the deformation amount and deformation rate of the high-fill foundation showed a non-linear growth relationship with the filling rate and filling height.The settlement deformation of the high-fill foundation during the loading period was mainly dominated by the original foundation soil,accounting for 54.4%of the total settlement on average;the settlement deformation during the post-construction period was mainly dominated by the filling body,accounting for 77.04%of the total settlement on average,and the settlement deformation during the post-construction period mainly occurred in the first year after construction.The analysis of the deformation mechanism suggests that the deformation of the filling body is dominated by exhaust consolidation during the loading period and drainage consolidation during the post-construction period;the deformation of the original foundation soil is dominated by drainage consolidation during the loading period and drainage consolidation develops slowly during the post-construction period.It is recommended that the original foundation should be reinforced before the large area filling construction,and that the filling rate should be strictly controlled during construction.The research results can provide a scientific basis for deformation calculation and stability assessment of high-fill foundations.
