Foundational MDA Patterns for Service-Oriented Computing

As the foundation of EDI, B2C and B2B, distributed computing is a key enabler for today’s enterprises and will become even more important with the advent of cloud computing on the one hand and an ever more agile work organization on the other hand. Whilst the rapid evolution of distributed computing technologies in the last three decades has delivered a rich set of platforms and paradigms for b...

Designing for Service-Oriented Computing

This case describes major management and technology issues which arise when designing advanced service-oriented architectures in distributed networked environments used for e-learning. The organization at hand uses a mixed funding model and is preparing for a large expansion of its services and capacity. This case takes place after the initiation of a project and during the design phase where s...

Service-Level Agreements for Service-Oriented Computing

Service-oriented computing is dynamic. There may be many possible service instances available for binding, leading to uncertainty about where service requests will execute. We present a novel Markovian process calculus which allows the formal expression of uncertainty about binding as found in service-oriented computing. We show how to compute meaningful quantitative information about the quali...

Service Oriented Computing: Service Foundations

The foundations of Service-Oriented Computing are concerned with the precise definition of a service. This is not only about providing a verbal explanation of what a service is, what can be and what cannot be considered a service, but rather it is about identifying the appropriate service model. Defining what service properties, requirements, and behaviors are relevant and possible for any gene...
