In the API gateway, API composition is an essential function that can reduce the number of client calls and prevent over-fetching and under-fetching. API composition that operate with IMJ (In-Memory Join) consume a lot of resources, putting a burden on the performance of the API gateway. In this paper, to improve the problem of IMJ-style API composition, we propose SAPIC (Stream-based API Composition), which delivers the data to be composed to the client by streaming. SAPIC calls each MSA API that makes up the client response data and immediately streams the received response data to the client, reducing the resource consumption of the API gateway and providing faster response time compared to IMJ. As a result of a comparison experiment with GraphQL, a representative API combination technology, SAPIC recorded a maximum CPU occupancy rate of approximately 21 to 70 % lower, a maximum heap usage rate of approximately 16 to 74 % lower, and a throughput rate that was 1 to 2.3 times higher than GraphQL.

Mashup is a web application that combines several different sources to create new services using Open APIs(Application Program Interfaces). Although the mashup has become very popular over the last few years, there are several challenging issues when combining a large number of APIs into the mashup, especially when composite APIs are manually integrated by mashup developers. This paper proposes a novel algorithm for automatic Open API composition. The proposed algorithm consists of constructing an operation connecting graph and searching composition candidates. We construct an operation connecting graph which is based on the semantic similarity between the inputs and the outputs of Open APIs. We generate directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) that can produce the output satisfying the desired goal. In order to produce the DAGs efficiently, we rapidly filter out APIs that are not useful for the composition. The algorithm is evaluated using a collection of REST and SOAP APIs extracted from ProgrammableWeb.com.

Mashups have become very popular over the last few years, and their use also varies for IT convergency services. In spite of their popularity, there are several challenging issues when combining Open APIs into mashups, First, since portal sites may have a large number of APIs available for mashups, manually searching and finding compatible APIs can be a tedious and time-consuming task. Second, none of the existing portal sites provides a way to leverage semantic techniques that have been developed to assist users in locating and integrating APIs like those seen in traditional SOAP-based web services. Third, although suitable APIs have been discovered, the integration of these APIs is required for in-depth programming knowledge. To solve these issues, we first show that existing techniques and algorithms used for finding and matching SOAP-based web services can be reused, with only minor changes. Next, we show how the characteristics of APIs can be syntactically defined and semantically described, and how to use the syntactic and semantic descriptions to aid the easy discovery and composition of Open APIs. Finally, we propose a goal-directed interactive approach for the dynamic composition of APIs, where the final mashup is gradually generated by a forward chaining of APIs. At each step, a new API is added to the composition.

With the advent of Web 2.0, OpenAPIs are becoming an increasing trend to emphasize Web as platform recently. OpenAPIs are used to combine services and generate new services by mashup. However because the standard documents for OpenAPIs do not exist, it may restrict the use of OpenAPIs. Previous studies of OpenAPIs mashup have been limited to tool design or language definition for service combination rather than dynamic composition. On the other hand, Web services that are a software technology implementing SOA provide standard documents such as WSDL to explain each service, UDDI to register it, and SOAP to transfer messages. Thus Web applications can interpret and execute services by using these technologies. Recent works have also been performed to provide semantic features and dynamic composition for SOA. If a dynamic and systematic approach is provided to combine Web services and OpenAPIs, Web applications can provide users with diverse services. In this study, we present a SOA based framework for mashup of OpenAPIs and Web services. The framework supports dynamic composition of OpenAPIs and Web services, where the process of composite services is described in OWL-S. A prototype is provided to validate our framework. The framework is expected to add diversity to typical Web services.

최근 매쉬업에 대한 관심도가 매우 높아짐에 따라 수많은 Web API들이 생성되고 있다. 이런 Web API들을 매쉬업 속으로 결합할 때 여러 가지 이슈들이 존재한다. 특히, 수많은 API들이 매쉬업 개발자에 의해 수동으로 조합될 때 이는 더욱 심각해진다. 본 논문에서는 Web API 발견 및 조합을 위한 하나의 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 발견 기법은 질의를 만족시키지 못하는 API들을 재빨리 필터링 시키는 전략을 수립한다. API 조합 기법은 발견 기법을 확장/발전시켜 Web API 입출력 사이의 시맨틱 유사도를 기반으로 하고, 원하는 목표를 만족하는 출력을 산출할 수 있는 사이클 없는 방향성 그래프(DAG)를 생성한다. 또한, Web API 발견 및 조합을 효율적으로 생성하기 위해 본 논문에서는 Web API 발견 및 조합 시스템을 구현한다.

The result of API staph-ident system was compared with cellular fatty acid composition for the identification of Staphylococcus species isolated from cattle. Isolated strains from cattle were correctly identified to S aureus, S intermedius, S hyicus, S simulans, S saprophyticus, S epidemis, S sciuri and S xylosus by API staph-ident system. The correlation between bacterial cellular fatty acid profile and Staphylococcus species isolated to API STAPH-IDENT system were. In conclusion, the result presented indicate that Staphylococci can be indentified to the species level by the cellular fatty acid profiles. Moreover, computerized fatty acid profile correlative anaylsis can be applied for determining identify of Staphylococcus species.

최근 많이 주목을 받고 있는 웹 2.0은 사용자의 참여, 개방, 네트워크 효과에 기반하여 누구나 데이터를 생산하고 공유할 수 있는 사용자 중심의 인터넷 환경이다. openAPI는 웹 2.0의 근본 개념인 데이터의 개방 및 공유를 구현할 수 있는 핵심 기술로 포털은 자신의 서비스를 공개한다. 하지만 기존의 웹서비스와 openAPI 검색은 효율적인 검색 방법을 제공하지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 Lee[1]의 논문에서 제공하는 효율적인 웹서비스 검색 방법을 이용하여 검색 엔진을 개발하였다. 하지만 이 연구는 웹서비스와 유사한 구조를 가지는 openAPI를 수용하지 못한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 openAPI의 정의 및 사용법이 웹서비스와 유사하다는 점을 활용하여 openAPI의 효과적인 검색을 위한 검색기법을 개발하였다. 이러한 검색기법은 사용자가 키워드를 입력하여 키워드 기반 검색을 통해 원하는 서비스를 찾아주고, 매쉬업 서비스나 다른 openAPI와의 조합(Composition)을 위해 템플릿 기반 검색을 통해 효과적인 검색을 제공해준다.

Semantic service can be defined as the service providing search API or reasoning API based on ontology and Web Services. It performs a pre-defined task by exploiting URI, classes, and properties. This study introduces a semantic service composition method based on a semantic broker referring ontology and management information of semantic services stored in a semantic service manager with requirements of the user. The requirements consist of input instances, an output class, a visualization type, semantic service names, and property names. This composition method provides dynamically generated semantic service pipelines including composit semantic services. The user can execute the pipelines provided by the semantic broker to find a meaningful semantic pipeline. After all, this study contributes to develop a system supporting human service planners who want to find composit semantic services among distributed semantic services.

With the development of web 2.0 and the rapid diffusion of smart devices, current web service, which only provides very limited information and service, has been transformed into user-friendly and comprehensive web service called mash-up service. Mash-up service is defined as comprehensive service that is created by combining variety of web services. When composing a mesh-up service, Open API is used as web service interface. Current mash-up service, however, has fundamental problem in that it could not satisfy the various needs of users who want I-centric personalized service because it is developed and provided by service developers. To overcome these obstacles, a lot of studies on mesh-up framework are being performed for improving mash-up proess though, it is still in beginning stage. In this paper, we introduce an API selection and compostion method as the key technology for mesh-up framework that support the automatic creation of mesh-up service.

These studies were carried out to identify Bacillus cereus group 1..5-] strain isolated from 5uyeong Bay. This strain was differentiated from B. cereus group using conventional, API system and fatty acid composition analysis. Colony characteristics were opague. mucoid, entire margin. convex. circular and non hemolysis on sheep blood agar plates, and were observed with central spore forming positive bacilli in a Gram stained preparation. and had no motility. The carbohydrates tested; glucose.maltose, and sucrose were assimilated but neither trehalose nor salicin were assimilated. This strain ultilized gelatin and was also inhibited by 6.5% NaCI. The results of biochemical examination were differented from B. cereus group LS-1 compared with others B. cereus group. The fatty acid composition contained major amounts of branched chain acids. iso $C_{15}$ and iso $C_{13}$ and the range of chain length was $C_{12}$ to C"$C_{17}$ and n$C_{15}$, acid was not detected. Automated fatty acid computer profile indicated "B. mycoides GC subgroup B of 0.312 similarity index." The results agreed with other research cases. On the other hand. A TB computer prolile index of API system (API 50 CHB & API 20E) identified" Doubtful profile of 99.7% B. firmus" . These results were presented with considerable discrepancies between API system and fatty acid analysis. With 67 biochemical characters. the similarity matrix of B. mycaides (KCTC 1033). B. thuringiensis (KCTC 1033). B. cereus (5-3) and B. mycoides (S-12) showed 42%. 42%. 59%, and 52%. respectively. Through the key tests and fatty acid analyses. we could notice the appearance of B. mycoides of the B. cereus group and this leads us to suspect the existence of a new biotype B. mycoides.
