Role-based AAA for Service Utilization in Federated Domains
The Web service specifications managing authentication and authorization are still a work in progress. A large-scale application built today is in need of a solid authentication and authorization infrastructure. A role-based authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) concept is able to provide the services needed, while it is possible to gain additional flexibility to handle the co-operation between different authentication and authorization infrastructures.

Iterative Service Orchestration based on Dependability Attributes
In a service-oriented architecture (SOA), the orchestration of services to new services and complex workflows is a common approach. Because the complexity and capability of the orchestrated services are increased, it is important to maintain and ensure the dependability attributes, e.g. availability and reliability, in such an environment. Today, most approaches focus on the needs during the creation of a single application, but the Internet became a commodity for end users during the last years and more services are available every day. While the range of available services is growing, the end users are helpless selecting a service providing the quality of service they expect. Therefore, a straightforward approach is needed allowing the creation and modification of orchestrated services by end users with respect to dependability attributes.

Developing Web applications for mobile devices
Today, even small mobile devices access the Internet. Therewith, mobility issues have become an important technical and economic topic - not only in new but in proven and successful Web applications as well. The main problem derives from a growing development of heterogeneity in hardware and software of mobile devices. To overcome this problem, this paper presents a framework to develop Web applications for mobile devices. This framework issues important points when developing web application that also focuses on mobile users. This includes completely new developments, as well as development that issue an upgrade of existing Web applications to mobile devices. An important element in this framework is the employment of the fairly new CC/PP standard.

Data Security in Service-Oriented Architectures
Due to standardized interfaces and loose coupling of services, serviceoriented architectures provide the possibility for close interaction between different organizations and communities. But this also introduces new risks: To have under control where which data is processed becomes increasingly difficult. This paper highlights that current approaches for ensuring data privacy and required security mechanisms are no longer adequate under these changing conditions and presents possible solutions discussed by researchers and developers. Additionally, economic implications of data privacy and security are considered.

Service-oriented support of cooperative workflows considerations for urban planning processes
Web-based information sources have evolved to an essential element in our daily and professional life. To process this faster and faster growing amount of information, web portals provide personalized access to specific information and communication services. In this paper, an example from urban planning is given. In this workflow, different actors are interacting in an ad-hoc manner. Therefore, a Portal Architecture has been built up, which provides the relevant information. This paper proposes a Service Orientated Architecture to provide access to business processes, software applications and hardware resources in a workflow oriented way.

Service lifecycle management infrastructure for smart items
Smart items are physical objects that are enhanced by information technology. There are a number of different smart item technologies available, all of which have different capabilities, protocols, and management functionality. These devices have become an attractive solution for enterprise scenarios. In such scenarios lifecycle management can become a challenge when considering the differences of the smart item types while at the same time providing an abstraction for common functionality. We propose an infrastructure for service lifecycle management of smart items. It is part of a middleware called Smart Item Services Infrastructure (SI)2, which is able to provide a uniform access to various smart item types. The presented architecture addresses the platform heterogenity challenge with a separation of platform-specific and platform-independent functionality. Service Lifecycle Managers for the individual platforms translate the platform-independent requests into the device-specific protocol. Besides platform abstraction, the deployment planning of services is a major requirement. Thus, we put special focus on the Service Mapper component, which determines a deployment plan that satisfies a number of constraints.

A lacunary version of Mergelian's approximation theorem
Let K be a compact plane set having connected complement. Then Mergelian's theorem states that the linear span of the monomials z^n, i.e. the polynomials, are dense in the Banach space A(K) of all functions continuous on K and holomorphic in the interior of K endowed with the sup-norm. We consider the question under which conditions the linear span of z^n, with n running through a sequence of nonnegative integers having upper density one, is dense in A(K) or appropriate subspaces.

Generic Web Services - Extending Service Scope While Preserving Backwards Compatibility
An apparatus for sorting blocks made of concrete or concrete-like material, in particular paving slabs, having a vibration arrangement and a sorting arrangement which slopes with respect to the horizontal, has an entry part for the blocks which are to be sorted and a sorting part, which has at least one collecting channel running in the conveying direction. The collecting channel has a central part and two lateral run-on surfaces arranged thereon, the width of the central part corresponding at least approximately to one of the two shorter edge lengths of the blocks which are to be sorted. The run-on surfaces are provided with stop elements, the stop elements on one run-on surface being offset in the longitudinal direction with respect to the stop elements on the other run-on surface.

Non-equispaced Fourier Transform Vs. Polynomial-Based Metal Artifact Reduction in Computed Tomography
We propose a method, which treats metal artifact reduction in CT by sinogram restoration as a problem of scattered data interpolation. Corrupted sinogram entries are discarded and replaced with artificially generated values. The presented interpolation algorithm is based on the 2D non-equispaced fast Fourier transform (NFFT). Results are compared to two common polynomial interpolation schemes.

Intersection Line Length Normalization in CT Projection Data
We present a method to improve the quality of common sinogram restoration algorithms, which are used for metal-artifact reduction in X-ray CT. The presented approach is based on the idea that the intersection length of all beams through the object of interest can approximately be calculated from a preliminary reconstruction of the object. Incorporating this information to the reconstruction allows significant reduction of streak artifacts. Additionally, it is shown that the information about intersection length may also be used to improve the detection of metal shadows within the sinogram.
