Abstract

Service compositions are created by exploiting existing component services that are, in general, out of the control of the composition developer. The challenge nowadays is to make such compositions able to dynamically reconfigure themselves in order to address the cases when the component services do not behave as expected and when the execution context changes. We argue that the problem has to be tackled at two levels: on the one side, the runtime platform should be flexible enough to support the selection of alternative services, the negotiation of their service level agreements, and the partial replanning of a composition. On the other side, the language used to develop the composition should support the designer in defining the constraints and conditions that regulate selection, negotiation, and replanning actions at runtime. In this paper we present the SCENE platform that partially addresses the above issues by offering a language for composition design that extends the standard BPEL language with rules used to guide the execution of binding and re-binding self-reconfiguration operations.

Process model-based atomic service discovery and composition of composite semantic web services using web ontology language for services OWL-S

Web Service composition has become indispensable as a single web service cannot satisfy complex functional requirements. Composition of services has received much interest to support business-to-business B2B or enterprise application integration. An ...
A framework for QoS-aware binding and re-binding of composite web services

QoS-aware dynamic binding of composite services provides the capability of binding each service invocation in a composition to a service chosen among a set of functionally equivalent ones to achieve a QoS goal, for example minimizing the response time ...
Autonomous service level agreement negotiation for service composition provision

Efficient management of service level agreements which specify mutually-agreed understandings and expectations of service provision has been a subject of research for a few years. A critical issue in this area is for service consumers and service ...
