Title	9. General Model & System Simulation Framework
OW2 Project
Keywords	simulation, framework
Description	In many researching and designing fields, the simulation is useful.

This framework could be able to model the target systems & models natrurally and effectively. It could be deployed into distributed systems to acquire high performance and support large scale simulation. It would provide some neccesary utilities to make the design of the simulation simpler and faster. For example, it should be able to simulate a simple network, a simple computer and so on.

Title	36. Web Service QoS Search Engine and Selection Tool
OW2 Project	Trustie
Keywords	Web Service, QoS, Search Engine, Web Service Selection
Description	Quality of services (QoS) is the key factor for successful service-based applications and affects user's satisfaction. For a variety of reasons, the environment of a service is dynamically changing. Web Service QoS might be unstable. To collect Web Service QoS from multi-sources is the basis information to judge whether a service is good enough to use. On the other hand, to help user to select proper service to meet with their requirements is essential for service applications. The project will develop a Web Service QoS search engine to find as much as possible QoS information. Based on the QoS information, the tool will analyze user's requirement and select a proper service. In addition to this, the tools will provide a real time updating mechanism to get more accurate QoS information.
