TARGET: Two-way Web Service Router Gateway
In this paper, we present the approach and architecture of TARGET: two-way Web service router gateway, for two-way Web service interaction crossing enterprise domain and firewall. It provides a full support for asynchronous outbound operation and event notification in communication services. TARGET addresses an acute issue for Internet applications that today's enterprise NATs and firewalls only allow outbound HTTP request from the inside to the outside and block any request from the outside to the inside, which is a serious problem for two-way Web services. TARGET is a generic solution to allow two-way Web service interaction to traverse legitimately through NATs and strictly configured firewalls; and it is based on two-way SOAP message tunneling, service local registry, and service routing to bridge two-way Web service interaction. A research TARGET system has been implemented and applied to real time communication services, e.g. conferencing. Extensive experiments on TARGET are performed, and its performance with various sizes of SOAP messages is studied. The applicability and feasibility of TARGET for two-way Web service interaction is verified

Web Service for Tele-Communication
In this paper, we introduce WNET/WSIP, a web service enabled converged communication infrastructure that is integrated with VoIP SIP (Session Initiation Protocol). WNET/WSIP consists of a network of WSIP node and it is based on two-way, full duplex web service interaction. WSIP is a new class of IP communication endpoints. Each WSIP node is both a SIP endpoint that communicates in the SIP world through SIP signaling, and a web service SOAP node that provides an application protocol layer alternative to SIP and a generic service integration environment for binding SIP based communication in web services. From service perspective, WNET/WSIP is an application layer protocol overlay for resilient and versatile communication services over IP. It allows dynamic service discovery and binding that integrate SIP services as a SOA component in business transactions. It separates service integration/extension environment from SIP signaling. The ubiquitous service integration nature of web service provides a disciplined solution to monitor the WNET/WSIP network. It supports dynamic service monitoring, provisioning, endpoint discovery and update, etc. In particular, we introduce the approach of using WSSecurity [12] to provide end-to-end message level security over IP in WNET/WSIP. These new capabilities are essential to the success of reliable communication services. The proposed approach was implemented in a prototype research system. Advantages of WNET/WSIP were realized and observed.

A new verification-based fast-match for large vocabulary continuous speech recognition
Acoustic fast-match is a popular way to accelerate the search in large-vocabulary continuous-speech recognition, where an efficient method is used to identify poorly scoring phonemes and discard them from detailed evaluation. In this paper we view acoustic fast-match as a verification problem, and hence develop an efficient likelihood ratio test, similar to other verification scenarios, to perform the fast match. Various aspects of the test like the design of alternate hypothesis models and the setting of phoneme look-ahead durations and decision thresholds are studied, resulting in an efficient implementation. The proposed fast-match is tested in a large vocabulary speech recognition task and it is demonstrated that depending on the decision threshold, it leads to 20-30% improvement in speed without any loss in recognition accuracy. In addition, it significantly outperforms a similar test based on using likelihoods only, which fails, in our setting, to bring any improvement in speed-accuracy trade-off. In a larger set of experiments with varying acoustic and task conditions, similar improvements are observed for the fast-match with the same model and setting. This indicates the robustness of the proposed technique. The gains due to the proposed method are obtained within a highly efficient 2-pass search strategy and similar or even higher gains are expected in other alternative search architectures.

Web service enablement of communication services
In this paper, we introduce Web service application session services, WS-session, for Web service based application session management in communication. A two-way Web service framework is described. It supports the use of Web service in the situation of telecommunication where the communication endpoint can be both a client and a peer-to-peer server. We describe the interface design in two-way Web service interaction based on the concept of tightly coupled interface and loosely coupled interface solutions. The proposed approach provides full support of asynchronous outbound operations and event notifications in communication services. It is implemented in a research prototype system that provides both standard based (ECMA-348) services and Avaya service extensions. In addition, we investigated the integration of our proposed approach with BPEL4WS. It allows the user to create new services through a drag-n-drop based service creation environment (ECLIPSE/BPEL4WS). It leads to a paradigm of service creation through Web service composition. More sophisticated telecommunication services are created from composing the basic services.

Quantitative QoS Management Implement Mechanism in IP-DiffServ
In this paper, a quantitative QoS management implement mechanism in IP-DiffServ is presented. The approach has three merits: (1) it optimizes both the route selected for service class by traffic engineering in network layer and the service class selected for the user services by network plan in service layer, (2) it ensures quantitative QoS for the user service in DiffServ, (3) it achieves high resource utilization, and achieves better performance with less cost for the user service and selected route. Simulation has verified these merits.

An Adaptive Grid Method and Its Application to Steady Euler Flow Calculations
An adaptive remeshing procedure based on a cell volume deformation method is presented. Starting with an initial grid, this method offers direct cell volume control through the specification of the transformation Jacobian. Grid points are moved with appropriate grid velocities so that the specified cell volume distribution can be achieved at the end of the grid movement without adding or removing grid points. The grid velocities are determined by solving a scalar Poisson equation. This method is applied to solving the compressible Euler equations. Computational test cases of transonic flow over an airfoil are presented and demonstrate the desired control of grid sizes across shock waves.

Nonlinear Adaptive Blind Source Separation Based on Kernel Function
As the linear method is difficult to recover the sources from the nonlinear mixture signals, in this paper a new nonlinear adaptive blind signal separation algorithm based kernel space is proposed for general invertible nonlinearities. The received mixture signals are mapped from low dimensional space to high dimensional kernel feature space. In the feature space, the received signals form a smaller submanifold, and an orthonormal basis of the submanifold is constructed in this space, as the same time, the mixture signals are parameterized by the basis in the high dimensional kernel space. In the noiseless or noisy situation, the sources are rebuilt online processing by M-EASI and subspace tracking. The results of computer simulations are also presented.

Intentionally and unintentionally: on both, A and non-A, in neutrosophy
The paper presents a fresh new start on the neutrality of neutrosophy in that "both A and Non-A" as an alternative to describe Neuter-A in that we conceptualize things in both intentional and unintentional background. This unity of opposites constitutes both objective world and subjective world. The whole induction of such argument is based on the intensive study on Buddhism and Daoism including I-ching. In addition, a framework of contradiction oriented learning philosophy inspired from the Later Trigrams of King Wen in I-ching is meanwhile presented. It is shown that although A and Non-A are logically inconsistent, but they are philosophically consistent in the sense that Non-A can be the unintentionally instead of negation that leads to confusion. It is also shown that Buddhism and Daoism play an important role in neutrosophy, and should be extended in the way of neutrosophy to all sciences according to the original intention of neutrosophy.

Transform BPEL Workflow into Hierarchical CP-Nets to Make Tool Support for Verification
Availability of a wide variety of Web services over the Internet offers opportunities of providing new value added services by composing existing ones. Service composition poses a number of challenges. A composite service can be very complex in structure, containing many temporal and data-flow dependencies between the component services. It is highly desirable therefore to be able to validate that a given composite service is well formed: proving that it will not deadlock or livelock and that it respects the sequencing constraints of the constituent services. In this paper, we propose an approach of composition analysis and verification based on Colored Petri nets (CP-nets), which is an extended version of Petri Nets, which have a sound mathematical semantics and a number of existing analysis tools. We provide translation rules of web composition language into CP-nets and a technique to analyze and verify effectively the net to investigate several behavioral properties. Our translation technique is essentially independent of which language we describe composition. As an example, to show the effectiveness of our technique, we pick up BPEL and translate the BPEL specification into CP-nets in a constructive way. These nets are analyzed and verified as prototypes of the specification.
