<p>Providing netizens with free psychological guidance and counseling, of which an important link is to improve web psychological counselors’ motivation for free services, is an integral part of establishing China’s web service system for mental health. Based on the case study of China’s largest free psychological counseling website—www.psy525.cn, this study found that objective factors such as age, professional background, grade of practice qualification, authentication of practice qualification, and service providers’ group affiliation could have remarkable influences on web psychological counselors’ behavior and performance that reflect their motivation for free services indirectly.</p>

Traditionally, network Service Providers specify Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to guarantee service availability and performance to their customers. However, these SLAs are rather static and span a single provider domain. Thus, they are not applicable to a multi–domain environment. In this paper, the authors present a framework for automatic creation and management of SLAs in a multi-domain environment. The framework is based on Service Oriented Computing (SOC) and contains a collection of web service calls and modules that allow for the automatic creation, configuration, and delivery of an end-to-end SLA, created from the merging of the per-domain SLAs. This paper also presents a monitoring procedure to monitor the QoS guarantees stipulated in the SLA. The SLA establishment and monitoring procedures are tested through a Grid application scenario targeted to perform remote control and monitoring of instrument elements distributed across the Grid.

People believe the combination of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and gender dysphoria (GD) is a complicated one. In addition, clinicians can be reluctant to diagnose and treat this combination of problems. In scientific research, several researchers are currently debating the existence of a link between ASD and GD. Nevertheless, everyone agrees that there is more gender diversity among adolescents with ASD than previously thought. The current case study illustrates an example of a gender journey for an adolescent with ASD and the challenges faced by mental health service providers in guiding adolescents or young adults with ASD in this gender quest.

Presently, the network teaching system has become very important teaching method in college. This paper discusses the development background of network video teaching service system. Web Service technology is used to change the video teaching platform in the background. It solves the problem that the colleges don't repeat development system, analyzes the function and performance requirements of the services provided by system, and designs the function module.

Nowadays, business collaborations have to be highly dynamic and flexible to allow companies to operate efficiently and effectively in complex and volatile markets. To increase the business agility of service consumers, it is fundamental that service providers enhance the visibility of parts of their collaborative processes. Service providers are required to release both the process structures of the services offered and their status during execution. To further increase the flexibility of business collaborations, certain control over the process execution has to be offered to service consumers. In this paper, we present a framework for the support of process control in cross-organizational settings. We specify the control primitives that can be used to exert control on activities and processes before, during and after their executions. These primitives empower service consumers to postpone activity and process executions, bypass minor activities, repeat their executions, etc. We describe an approach to the support of these control primitives by service providers. We demonstrate the application of our framework with a case study from the healthcare domain. A proof-of-concept prototype implementation based on Web service technology is presented.

The service system is based on the SOA architecture, and its component services are usually deployed by third-party service providers in an open network environment. This openness also brings confusion to service system while extending functions. Unavailability of a single service may result in the unavailability of the entire service system. This paper uses Web service credibility as a standard to measure whether Web service is available. Web service credibility is calculated by 12 factors that affect quality of Web service. According to time series of Web service credibility in the past, credibility at next time period can be predicted. This paper proposes a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) algorithm which uses grid search algorithm and adaptive moment estimation (Adam) to solve above problem. In this algorithm, grid search algorithm is used to get the best hyper-parameters of network and Adam is used to correct the gradient in the gradient descent. Finally, based on a large number of real Web services, the GRU prediction algorithm is verified by experiments. Experimental results show that the GRU algorithm has higher prediction accuracy than other methods in Web service credibility prediction.

AbstractWithin the circular economy, the Product-Service System (PSS) is a key business model to slow down and dematerialise resource consumption between manufacturers or service providers and customers. Material-Service Systems (MSSs) have been proposed as a business model to develop the performance economy focusing on the relationship between material suppliers and manufacturers. The aim of this research is to introduce and develop the MSS concept and to apply it to a real-world case study. The research involved two stages. First, a modelling method is proposed to represent the flow, transformation and ownership of resources by the stakeholders in a supply chain. Second, the method is tested using steel industrial drums as a case. The results indicate that the MSS has the potential to radically transform the steel drums industry and it could work effectively with a PSS within a reuse system to recondition and reintroduce obsolete drums into the market.

This study is based on a case study research design. The approach for the study is adapted from Monte-Carlo simulation models. The study model can fit a finite number of patients who can join in the queue in different counters and performance of the selected counter in a particular time. The data are collected through direct observation with the help of a checklist. Out of 150 patients, 50 patients are observed in each new, old, and reserved (ex-army Indian pensioner and health insurance policy holder) counter. Our main findings are mean number of patients waiting in queue, mean number of patients in the system, mean time of patient waiting in queue, the time spent by a patient in the system, Average time that the server is idle, the percentage of the time that the server is busy. The study concludes that the service provided in the old counter is satisfactory to some extent. The research has been come up with the model design to estimate patients demand in the counters and it uses mean arrival time and mean service time.
