Description

In the current technological world, Web services play an integral role in service computing and social networking services. This is also the case in the traditional FREG (foods, resources, energy, and goods) services because almost all traditional services are replaced fully or partially by Web services.

Handbook of Research on Demand-Driven Web Services: Theory, Technologies, and Applications presents comprehensive and in-depth studies that reveal the cutting-edge theories, technologies, methodologies, and applications of demand-driven Web, mobile, and e-business services. This book provides critical perspectives for researchers and practitioners, lecturers and undergraduate/graduate students, and professionals in the fields of computing, business, service, management, and government, as well as a variety of readers from all the social strata.



Reviews and Testimonials

Contributors largely in information and computer science, but also in a number of other disciplines, explore the theory of demand; various demands from governments, communities, organizations and individuals; and various demand-driven Web services. Among the topics are marketing theories to model business Web service procurement behavior, designing Web services for mobile monitoring and access to measurements, secure network solutions for enterprise cloud services, a demand-driven cloud-based business intelligence for healthcare decision making, and and Delta State University in Nigeria as a case study of electronic business in education.
