Abstract: A service flow processing apparatus requests a service on a network to perform processing in accordance with a service flow description document and an interface description document, and receives a response from the service. The service flow processing apparatus also generates a proxy service that corresponds to the service, and if a normal response has not been received from the service, the service flow processing apparatus changes the destination of the request for the service described in the interface description document to the proxy service.

Abstract: A service flow processing apparatus receives a message from a service on a network in accordance with a first process specified in a first service flow description document, and in the case where the received message is to be processed by another service flow processing apparatus, extracts the description of a second process to be executed using the received message from the first service flow description document. The service flow processing apparatus sends a second service flow description document, containing the description of the second process, and the received message to the other service flow processing apparatus.

Abstract: A service flow process apparatus receives a first message from a first Web service, and extracts data from the first message based on description in a service flow description document. The service flow process apparatus extracts position information showing a position in a second message corresponding to the extracted data from the Web service flow description document, and constructs a structure of the second message based on the extracted position information. The service flow process apparatus inserts the data extracted from the first message into the structure of the second message based on the position information extracted from the Web service flow description document, and transmits the second message into which the data extracted from the first message has been inserted to a second Web service.

Abstract: A web service execution apparatus that sequentially executes a plurality of web services develops a first information for invoking a first web service in a memory, and deletes the first information that is developed in the memory. The apparatus then develops a second information for invoking a second web service in the memory from which the first information is deleted, and executes a plurality of web services in accordance with the first or the second information that is developed in the memory.

Abstract: A processing device inputs a first processing-descriptive document and generates a second processing-descriptive document by deleting at least one description part illustrating processing performed, so as to call the next processing device, from the first processing-descriptive document. Further, the processing device calls the next processing device by using the second processing-descriptive document.

Abstract: A layout apparatus recognizes a blank area in a layout area in which first contents have been laid out and controls a layout in the blank area in which second contents are to be laid out based on the recognized blank area.

Abstract: A layout apparatus for laying out a plurality of contents determines the sizes of areas corresponding to respective contents that are required for accommodating the contents and lays out the areas corresponding to the respective contents. The layout apparatus adjusts the sizes of the areas corresponding to the respective contents on condition of the determined sizes so that the areas respectively corresponding to a plurality of contents do not overlap.

Abstract: A row electrode in a row electrode pair has a bus electrode extending in the row direction and transparent electrodes each facing a transparent electrode in its counterpart row electrode in each discharge cell. The opposing portions of the transparent electrodes facing each other across a discharge gap are inclined at a required angle either in the clockwise direction or the counterclockwise direction relative to the row direction of the panel. The transparent electrodes with the opposing portions inclined in opposite directions are arranged in alternate positions along the associated bus electrodes and the transparent electrodes with the opposing portions inclined in the same direction face each other.

Abstract: For input structured documents, it is determined whether or not relation between the structured documents exists by comparing at least one predetermined element of each of the structured documents between the structured documents. If the relation is determined to exist, a description of each element in the structured documents that are determined to have relation therebetween is extracted. Each description extracted from the structured documents determined to have relation therebetween is integrated, thus realizing an integrated structured document.
