An Automated Approach for Web Services Architectural Style Selection

REST versus SOAP as Architectural Style for Web Services

Representational State Transfer (REST) is a software architecture style for distributed systems such as the Internet first introduced by Fielding in his doctoral thesis in 2000. REST defines a set of principles defining how resources are defined and addressed in a networked environment. The most known implementation of REST is HTTP. REST advocates use of simple course grained operations (PUT, G...

Architectural Style: An Object-Oriented Approach

Software system builders are increasingly recognizing the importance of exploiting design knowledge in the engineering of new systems. One way to do this is to deene an architectural style for a collection of related systems. The style determines a coherent vocabulary of system design elements and rules for their composition. By structuring the design space for a family of related systems a sty...

An Architectural Style for Process-Intensive Web Information Systems

Automated Selection of Configurable Web Services

To bring service-oriented architectures to their full potential, automatic service discovery and selection mechanisms are required. In this paper, a service selection component is presented that supports offers providing multiple configurations of a service. The selection algorithm ranks the offered services and their configurations according to the requester’s preferences and thus facilitates ...

Transitioning Applications to Semantic Web Services: An Automated Formal Approach

Semantic Web Services [MSZ01] have been recognized as a promising technology that exhibits huge commercial potential, and attract significant attention from both industry and the research community. Despite expectations being high, the industrial take-up of Semantic Web Service technologies has been slower than expected. One of the main reasons is that many systems have been developed without c...
