An interface theory for service-oriented design

An Interface Theory for Service-Oriented Design

We revisit the notions of interface and component algebra proposed by de Alfaro and Henzinger in [7] for component-based design and put forward elements of a corresponding interface theory for service-oriented design. We view services as a layer that can be added over a component infrastructure and propose a notion of service interface for a component algebra that is an asynchronous version of ...

Changes in a Service Oriented Enterprise: A Game Theory Approach

Service Oriented Enterprises (SOEs) are subject to constant change and variation. In this paper, the changes are considered from an economic perspective based on service culture notion. Once a change is implemented, the costs of some member services may increase, whereas the costs of some other services may reduce. We construct a game theoretic model trying to capture the possible conflicting i...

Musical Interface Design: An Experience-oriented Framework

This paper presents MINUET, a framework for musical interface design grounded in the experience of the player. MINUET aims to provide new perspectives on the design of musical interfaces, referred to as a general term that comprises digital musical instruments and interactive installations. The ultimate purpose is to reduce the complexity of the design space emphasizing the experience of the pl...

A Service-Oriented Approach to Implementing an Adaptive User Interface

Formalising Service-Oriented Design

Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) is an emerging paradigm for developing software systems that employ services. Presently there is already much research effort in the areas of service discovery and orchestration, business process modelling, and the semantic web. While these are all important aspects for moving towards the pervasive adoption of SOC, most existing work assumes the existence of bla...
