Less than a week after Jakarta's governor Uber, GrabTaxi and other ride-sharing services a set of requirements in order to (finally) operate legally, ending a year of uncertainty around their status, the Indonesian government today banned (and then, less than 12 hours later, unbanned) Go-Jek, a motorbike taxi on-demand service that claims 200,000 drivers in the city, and others in its space.
The company offers what it calls a bidder-as-a-service — a set of customizable technologies that allows customers to participate in real-time bidding for ad inventory.
The FSMVRPTW seeks to design a set of depot returning vehicle routes to service a set of customers with known demands, for a heterogeneous fleet of vehicles with different capacities and fixed costs.
The ConVRP is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem and involves the design of a set of minimum cost vehicle routes to service a set of customers with known demands over multiple days.
For each flexibility service, a set of contractual prerequisites should be explicitly stipulated to achieve an efficient and economic operation, including service price, area, location, duration, activations, failure and penalty statement, etc. Certain feeders in a 10 kV distribution grid are taken for a sample to further illustrate the stipulations of these services, shown in Table 2.
We consider a model where commodity service providers are offering commodity computational services to a set of customers.
For this purpose, we tested two implementations of a subset of the TPC-App Web services and a set of 5 open-source Web services adapted from code publicly available on the Internet [43] (a total of 29 service operations).
The cloud service makes use of many external security services via a set of 3 security APIs: one for authentication, one for authorisation, and one for delegation.
Therefore, a significant research problem in service composition is how to select the best candidate service from a set of functionally equivalent services in terms of a service level agreement (SLA).
This high-level service specification may be composed of, among other information, a service description, a service API, a set of business policies, and eventually, hints for business processes.
We can define quality of service as a set of service requirements to be satisfied by the network during flow transmissions [3].
