Abstract
The system here presented has been designed to be used on lodging establishments or institutions such as hotels, apartment buildings, hospitals, etc. The system picks up building generated data in order to provide the actual status of the building at any moment and performs status-dependent operations to provide: a) service to guest; b) security in the installment, and c) statistical and accounting information for management purposes.
The aforementioned operations are realized by the system within two distinct forms:
1) An automatic form which takes care of control of power consumption, accounting on service in each room (sell points, taxes for special services, fire-prevention, automatic wake-up, service) updating and reporting of statistical data for management.
2) An interactive form which through CRT stations attached to the system performs customer check in/check out; invoicing, query operations on guests, service lock/unlock, building status report, ...
The system has been implemented as a microcomputer network made up by a microcomputer in each room and a master unit of two tightly-coupled CPU's with shared-memory which is in charge of network controlling, terminal controlling, and processing functions.

Towards Automated Service Composition Using Policy Ontology in Building Automation System
SCC '12: Proceedings of the 2012 IEEE Ninth International Conference on Services ComputingAutomated service composition is critical for successfully implementing Building Automation Systems which facilitate Web services over physical devices. In this paper, we propose a new service composition model using a policy ontology represented by ...
Integrating RESTful Service into BPEL Business Process on Service Generation System
SCC '13: Proceedings of the 2013 IEEE International Conference on Services ComputingNew value-added business, generated by Web service composition in BPEL, provides more powerful and flexible features. SOAP-based web services invoked in BPEL are heavy with redundant information and lower performance. RESTful Web service is brought ...
Building test steps for SOA service orchestration in web service testing tools
ICUIMC '08: Proceedings of the 2nd international conference on Ubiquitous information management and communicationMany SOA developers still stay in the tools supporting Web services. In terms of testing, they rely on some popular open source products, such as SoapUI, JUnit, and TESTMAKER, which were developed for testing Web services. The tools could work well also ...
