Service-Oriented Computing and System Integration: Software, IoT, Big Data, and AI as Services focuses on service-oriented computing, web application development, and service-oriented system integration. It covers WSDL services, RESTful services, their development and applications, XML and related technologies, Web data management and database accesses, architecture-driven approach, workflow-based software integration, device and IoT integration, as well as the latest technologies in big data processing, cloud computing, machine-learning, artificial intelligence, and cross-platform mobile/phone application development. The book teaches both principles and hands-on programming skills, leading to operational software development. Exercises, practice questions, and projects are provided at the end of each chapter to help students review and apply what they have learned.
Service-Oriented Computing and System Integration: Software, IoT, Big Data, and AI as Services:
integrates new tutorial-based material to build working applications from scratch,
features a chapter dedicated to mobile computing and application development.
presents autonomous driving in TORCS and traffic simulation and its programming.
Yinong Chen
Yinong Chen received his Ph.D. from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), formerly known as the University of Karlsruhe, Germany, in 1993. He did postdoctoral research at KIT and at LAAS-CNRS – France between 1993 and 1995. From 1994 to 2000, he was a faculty member at Wits the University at Johannesburg, South Africa. Dr. Chen joined Arizona State University in 2001 and is a full teaching professor in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence and the director of IoT/Robotics Education Lab in the school.
Dr. Chen’s primary research interests are in software engineering, programming languages, service-oriented computing, artificial intelligence, Robot as a Service, Internet of Things, and computer science education (http://www.public.asu.edu/~ychen10/). He is the co-inverter of the VIPLE – Visual IoT/Robotics Programming Language Environment (https://venus.sod.asu.edu/VIPLE/) He (co-) authored a dozen books and over 300 technical papers in these research areas. Dr. Chen is the Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Technology since 2021, an associate editor of the International Journal of Simulation and Process Modelling (IJSPM) since Jan 2004, an area editor of the Elsevier journal Simulation Modeling Practice and Theory, since Jan 2006, and an editorial board member of the CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, since Jan 2016. Dr. Chen has taught a wide variety of computer science and engineering courses, ranging from freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior, to graduate courses, at Wits University and at Arizona State University. He received two consecutive Teacher of the Year awards in 2008 and in 2009 from the School of Computing and Informatics at Arizona State University.
GENNARO DE LUCA
Gennaro De Luca received his Ph.D. from Arizona State University (ASU) in 2020. He won multiple top prizes during his study, including Intel Cup, Intel Cornell Cup, Intel® IoT Roadshow Hackathon, and Microsoft Imagine Cup. He began working as a lecturer in 2020 in ASU Information Technology department, and now with ASU School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence as an assistant teaching professor. Dr. De Luca teaches a variety of courses, including freshman and sophomore programming languages, senior mobile application development and capstone, and various graduate-level topics.
Dr. De Luca’s primary research interests are in quantum computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer science education, workflow programming, and robotics (https://www.public.asu.edu/~gdeluca1/). He has (co-)authored multiple research papers and textbook chapters on VIPLE, the Visual IoT/Robotics Programming Language Environment (https://venus.sod.asu.edu/VIPLE/), which he co-invented. His current work focuses on near-team quantum computing and its various applications, such as machine learning.
