Handbook of Research on Emerging Rule-Based Languages and Technologies: Open Solutions and Approaches

sheidaei — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 23:18:16 +0000

Selecting an appropriate rules-based engine requires balancing many different, and often, not well-understood properties such as business rules representation methods, rule history and life cycle management, and interoperability with external data sources.

The Handbook of Research on Emerging Rule-Based Languages and Technologies: Open Solutions and Approaches provides a comprehensive collection of state-of-the-art advancements in rule languages, containing methodologies for building rule-based applications, rule interoperability and interchange, and rule-based applications. Developers of rule-based languages and technologies as well as users of these applications will find this Handbook of Research to be a significant resource within the field.

Rule Modeling to Unify Policies and Processes in Service-Oriented Health Information Systems

sheidaei — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 23:12:25 +0000

The service-oriented architecture (SOA) approach offers many promises for the development of high-quality Health Information Systems (HISs) that utilize information such as Electronic Health Records (EHRs) from different parties. However, extreme privacy preservation requirements and the variety of deployment systems make development of HISs particularly challenging. To support HIS developers, we propose effective mechanisms and tools to become part of the development process. We use model-driven engineering to switch the focus of the developers from technologies used for implementing SOA to domain specific concepts of the HISs under study. Our approach relies on a modeling framework based on Web rules, which allows us to represent business processes and policies of service-oriented HISs in a unified rule framework. The framework supports development of tools for a formal analysis of existing services and their policies by using rule-based reasoning engines (e.g., HP’s Jena). The tools that we are developing can identify inconsistencies between Web services from different parties, propose solutions for mismatched policies, and verify security and privacy requirements of service-oriented HISs.

Bachelor of Science Thesis

sheidaei — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 07:35:47 +0000

It is not necessary for all majors and / or for all universities for a bachelor of science to write a thesis, but that was not the case with Iran University of Science and Technology.
I did my thesis under supervision of Dr. Mohsen Sharifi and the title was “Web Service Security (A way to implement, manage web services securely)”, the project was done under BEA Weblogic server 8.3 and coded in Java.

You can find a Persian version of my thesis at the following link : Bachelor of Science Thesis
