Monitoring Service Compositions in MoDe4SLA - Design of Validation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In previous research we introduced the MoDe4SLA approach for monitoring service compositions. MoDe4SLA identifies complex dependencies between Service Level Agreements (SLAs) in a service composition. By explicating these dependencies, causes of SLA violations of a service might be explained by malfunctioning of the services it depends on. MoDe4SLA assists managers in identifying such causes. In this paper we discuss how to evaluate our approach concerning usefulness for the user as well as effectiveness for the business. Usefulness is evaluated by experts who are asked to manage simulated runs of service compositions using MoDe4SLA. Their opinion on the approach is an indicator for its usefulness. Effectiveness is evaluated by comparing runtime results of SLA management using MoDe4SLA with runtime results of unsupported management. Criteria for effectiveness are cost reduction and increase in customer satisfaction.

Empirical Validation of MoDe4SLA; Approach for Managing Service Compositions
For companies managing complex Web service compositions, challenges arise which go far beyond simple bilateral contract monitoring. For example, it is not only important to determine whether or not a component (i.e., Web service) in a composition is performing properly, but also to understand what the impact of its performance is on the overall service composition. To tackle this challenge, in ...
متن کاملRaters’ Perception and Expertise in Evaluating Second Language Compositions
The consideration of rater training is very important in construct validation of a writing test because it is through training that raters are adapted to the use of students’ writing ability instead of their own criteria for assessing compositions (Charney, 1984). However, although training has been discussed in the literature of writing assessment, there is little research regarding raters’ pe...
متن کاملA rigorous approach to engineering web service compositions
Despite the emergence of standards to define and compose Web Services to form more complex systems, as yet, there is little support for engineering systems composed from multiple services. As web technology has evolved, tools have been developed that support the design of both visual content and functional services for users. Web Services however, concentrate on the view of systems inter-operat...
متن کاملWeb Service Compositions: From XML Syntax to Service Models
This paper presents a rigorous approach to specifying, modelling, verifying and validating the behaviour of web service compositions with the goal of simplifying the task of designing coordinated distributed services and their interaction requirements. We address these issues through the use of rigorous software process analysis techniques, specifying semantics for web service composition stand...
متن کاملModel-based Verification of Web Service Compositions
In this paper we discuss a model-based approach to verifying web service compositions for web service implementations. The approach supports verification against specification models and assigns semantics to the behavior of implementation models so as to confirm expected results for both the designer and implementer. Specifications of the design are modeled in UML, in the form of Message Sequen...
