Service-oriented computing and Web services are becoming the dominating computing model as internet and cloud computing become pervasive. More and more services with the same functionality are becoming available, and QoS (Quality of Service) is the main factor to differentiate them. The overall QoS of a business process must meet user's requirement. Our study proposes a proxy-based framework to facilitate the dynamic integration of Web services into business process and fast detection of abnormalities. The major functions of our dynamic proxy-based framework include service collection, composition, selection and adaptation. Our study concerns both functionality and QoS characteristics of Web services to identify the optimal business process solutions.

Virtual Machines have been a key enabling technology for Cloud computing. Compared with the physical machine, VMs aim to enhance resource utilization via on-demand and dynamic resource allocation. However, with VMs, new performance issues are introduced such as hyper visor overhead and scheduling effectiveness, the impacts of configuration on system performance, and mutual influences among VM instances. This empirical study is motivated by 5 research problems including performance comparison between physical and virtualized environments, hyper visor overhead analysis, scalability analysis, and the impacts of VM management strategies. Using VMWare ESXi as a representative VM product, we have set up two experiment environments of different scales. A series of experiments were designed and exercised using data-intensive and computing intensive benchmarks. The results show the performance patterns of VM systems under different usage scenarios and system configurations. The study helps to analyze and understand Cloud performance characteristics from the users' perspectives.

Motherhood and mothering are fundamental aspects of life, and as a consequence, every culture has knowledge, values, practices and expectations related to the role. Technologies now have an increasing role in motherhood, altering many women’s experiences of pregnancy, birth, and mothering. For HCI, such a transition opens a whole host of questions relating to areas of participatory design, social connection, data sharing, identity, memory-making, emotion work, as well as offering a new lens through which to understand notions of care and wellbeing. This workshop will bring together researchers, designers, and practitioners interested in the role of motherhood, the act of mothering, and its relation to HCI and technology. We will identify a collective research agenda related to motherhood and HCI and forge connections amongst a community of researchers to support the sharing of knowledge, resources and design approaches.

The retrieval effectiveness of Query Expansion (QE) is very much dependent on the ability to accurately identify and expand core concepts which are truly representative of the intended search goal. Two characteristics of natural language queries which hinder the performance of query expansion for information retrieval are query length and structure. The varying lengths of a query translate to the number of core concepts that may exist and the possibility of there being multiple query intents embedded within a single query. On the other hand, the structure of queries reveals the linguistic properties which allows for the determination of whether they take the form of well-formed sentences or are simply bags-of-words which in the strictest sense are a series of words with no obvious relations amongst them. Whilst query lengths are easily assessed, we propose a two-level automated classification technique consisting of linguistics based and statistical processing for query structure classification. The proposed method has revealed high levels of classification accuracy on TREC ad hoc test queries.
