An apparatus and method for service classification are provided. The apparatus and method make use of canonical service descriptions which designate minimum requirements for a service to be classified into a corresponding classification. Based on the canonical service description, it can be determined whether a service that wishes to be classified...

The Web Services Policy 1.5 - Framework provides a general purpose model and corresponding syntax to describe the policies of entities in a Web services-based system. Web Services Policy Framework defines a base set of constructs that can be used and extended by other Web services specifications to describe a broad range of service requirements and...

Supervised learning generally requires the induction of an input- output map from a training set of labeled examples. This induced map is then used in an attempt to correctly classify input features that were not part of the original training set. Current backpropagation neural networks models, however, suffer several shortcomings. These are due to...

The use of wavelet functions as basis functions is proposed. Wavelets have many advantages over other basis functions. Orthonormal sets of wavelets can easily be constructed. Thus, network weights can be computed directly and independently. Wavelets can be used to provide a multiresolution approximation of the discriminant functions and offer local...

A system is presented to allow end users to solve nonlinear differential equations without need to write computer programs. The system treats nth order space (one dimensional), first order time systems with initial and/or two point boundary value specification. Users of the system need only enter the problem in direct mathematical notation, and out...

Interactive Quantitative Visualization, a methodology to enhance scientific and engineering computational simulation prototyping, is defined. Appropriate strategies for implementing IQV in a workstation-based distributed computing environment are discussed. Object-oriented graphical tools and a new data management technique to support IQV and compu...

Geometric meshes used in the finite-element method and related techniques must meet three requirements: they must model geometric shapes adequately; they must respect physical phenomena of importance in the problem (for example crack singularities); and they must provide high local accuracy in regions of particular importance. Only simplex elements...

Successful use of finite-element analysis depends on an ability to model accurately the problem shape using geometric meshes. This paper deals with automatic three-dimensional mesh generation, reviewing the four major classes of mesh generator in use ¿ interactive graphics, mapping, filling and cutting techniques ¿ and presenting a new method whi...

Web Services Policy 1.5 - Guidelines for Policy Assertion Authors is intended to provide guidance for Assertion Authors that will work with the Web Services Policy 1.5 - Framework ( Web Services Policy Framework (p.32) ) and Web Services Policy 1.5 - Attachment (Web Services Policy Attachment (p.33) ) specifications to create domain specific assert...
