Although XML has had a ubiquitous web presence for a number of years the strength of its underlying validation framework is often not leveraged to its maximum potential. Additionally the design process followed when developing XML data formats is often rather ad-hoc and driven by technical requirements of the application rather than a conceptual level analysis of the problem domain. This work contributes to research knowledge by proposing and validating a mechanism for allowing non-programmers to easily visualise and design the rules to which XML documents should comply. The use of an underlying meta-case platform provides a unique opportunity to allow highly customisable support and automatic code generation for any number of schema definition languages, thus providing a test-bed for future research activities.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>To obtain a copy of the entire article, click on the link below.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><a href="http://www.igi-global.com/article/a-graphical-based-approach-to-the-conceptual-modeling-validation-and-generation-of-xml-schema-definitions/85319">http://www.igi-global.com/article/a-graphical-based-approach-to-the-conceptual-modeling-validation-and-generation-of-xml-schema-definitions/85319</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>To read a PDF sample of this article, please visit<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><a href="http://www.igi-global.com/viewtitlesample.aspx?id=85319">http://www.igi-global.com/viewtitlesample.aspx?id=85319</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>PAPER TWO<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>ACNB: Associative Classification Mining Based on Naļve Bayesian Method<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Fadi Odeh (Department of Computer Science, Al-Balqa Applied University, Salt, Jordan) and Nijad Al-Najdawi (Department of Computer Science, Al-Balqa Applied University, Salt, Jordan)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Integrating association rule discovery and classification in data mining brings a new approach known as associative classification. Associative classification is a promising approach that often constructs more accurate classification models (classifiers) than the traditional classification approaches such as decision trees and rule induction. In this research, the authors investigate the use of associative classification on the high dimensional data in text categorization. This research focuses on prediction, a very important step in classification, and introduces a new prediction method called Associative Classification Mining based on Naļve Bayesian method. The running time is decreased by removing the ranking procedure that is usually the first step in ranking the derived Classification Association Rules. The prediction method is enhanced using the Naļve Bayesian Algorithm. The results of the experiments demonstrate high classification accuracy.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>To obtain a copy of the entire article, click on the link below.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><a href="http://www.igi-global.com/article/acnb/85320">http://www.igi-global.com/article/acnb/85320</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>To read a PDF sample of this article, please visit<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><a href="http://www.igi-global.com/viewtitlesample.aspx?id=85320">http://www.igi-global.com/viewtitlesample.aspx?id=85320</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>PAPER THREE<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Performance Evaluation of a Modern Web Architecture<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Johan Lundar (School of Information Systems, Computing and Mathematics, Brunel University, Uxbridge, UK), Tor-Morten Grųnli (Norwegian School of Information Technology, Oslo, Norway) and Gheorghita Ghinea (School of Information Systems, Computing and Mathematics, Brunel University, Uxbridge, UK & Norwegian School of Information Technology, Oslo, Norway)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The past decade has marked a shift in Web development as users have become accustomed to Web applications with dynamic content and enhanced user experience. Different languages and technologies have been utilised to make way for such applications, gradually stretching existing standards and protocols to its limits. The field of Web development has been characterized by a lack of coherent architectural concepts, partly due to the absences of standard protocols that support modern communication styles. As a result of this, systems specifically designed for real-time data delivery have been required and realised with proprietary technology in the industry, consequently violating established software engineering principles such as modularity, consistency and simplicity. This paper explores how current Web technologies support the requirements of modern Web applications. A prototype application was developed in the last phase to demonstrate the efficacy of combining the WebSocket protocol and API together with the use of JavaScript as exclusive programming language at the client and server. Based on the findings of the research carried out it appears that the use of protocols and standards such as WebSocket, WebSocket API and Server-Sent Events caters for higher network performance, increased flexibility and standards compliance.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>To obtain a copy of the entire article, click on the link below.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><a href="http://www.igi-global.com/article/performance-evaluation-of-a-modern-web-architecture/85321">http://www.igi-global.com/article/performance-evaluation-of-a-modern-web-architecture/85321</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>To read a PDF sample of this article, please visit<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><a href="http://www.igi-global.com/viewtitlesample.aspx?id=85321">http://www.igi-global.com/viewtitlesample.aspx?id=85321</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>PAPER FOUR<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Specification of Transactional Requirements for Web Services using Recoverability<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Kanchana Rajaram (SSN College of Engineering, Anna University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India), Chitra Babu (SSN College of Engineering, Anna University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India) and Arun Adiththan (City University of New York (CUNY), New York, USA)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>In Service-Oriented Computing (SOC), a business transaction comprises of several web services provided by multiple enterprises. The transactional behaviour of individual web services must be considered for service selection so that the composition of web services results in a reliable execution. It is difficult for a business analyst to envisage the desired business policies of a process in terms of transactional properties of the corresponding service. Hence, an abstract mechanism that enables the business analyst to specify the transactional properties in a simple manner must be introduced. Towards this objective, it is proposed to express the transactional properties in terms of the recoverability of services. The transactional web services are grouped into different levels of recoverability based on their recovery cost. The estimated recovery costs are empirically verified and validated.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>To obtain a copy of the entire article, click on the link below.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><a href="http://www.igi-global.com/article/specification-of-transactional-requirements-for-web-services-using-recoverability/85322">http://www.igi-global.com/article/specification-of-transactional-requirements-for-web-services-using-recoverability/85322</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>To read a PDF sample of this article, please visit<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><a href="http://www.igi-global.com/viewtitlesample.aspx?id=85322">http://www.igi-global.com/viewtitlesample.aspx?id=85322</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>*****************************************************<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>For full copies of the above articles, check for this issue of the International Journal of Information Technology and Web Engineering (IJITWE) in your institution's library.
