A ranking method for sensor services based on estimation of service access cost
2015
Information Sciences
However, assuming the availability of such information for sensor services is often unrealistic. We propose a ranking strategy by estimating the cost of accessing sensor services. ...
The concept of sensing-as-a-service is proposed to enable a unified way of accessing and controlling sensing devices for many Internet of Things based applications. ...
Therefore, our strategy is to estimate the cost of accessing sensor services with respect to a particular query. ...

A graph-based automatic services composition based on cost estimation heuristic
2019
International Journal of Services Operations and Informatics
It proves that the proposed framework provides an admissible heuristic based on cost estimations that guarantee a minimum cost solution, if one exists. ...
Traditional service representation and planning algorithms do not adequately address non-functional characteristics, large numbers of similar operators (i.e., services), and limited numbers of objects ...
To realize such a framework, this paper presents a method for representing a service and a novel graph-based algorithm using a cost estimation heuristic for services search and composition. ...

Estimating the effect of hospital closure on areawide inpatient hospital costs: a preliminary model and application
1983
Health Services Research
A preliminary model is developed for estimating the extent of savings, if any, likely to result from discontinuing a specific inpatient service. ...
The marginal cost ratio, which relates marginal costs of cases absorbed in surrounding hospitals to the average costs in those hospitals, is estimated as 87 percent in the base case. ...
A major challenge in applying the model is to develop an accurate estimate of this cost. ...
