Dependability Evaluation of Web Service-Based Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
As Web service-based system integration recently became the mainstream approach to create composite services, the dependability of such systems becomes more and more crucial. Therefore, extensions of the common service composition techniques are urgently needed in order to cover dependability aspects and a core concept for the dependability estimation of the target composite service. Since Web services-based workflows fit into the class of systems composed of multiple phases, this paper attempts to apply methodologies and tools for dependability analysis of Multiple Phased Systems (MPS) to this emerging category of dependability critical systems. The paper shows how this dependability analysis constitutes a very useful support to the service provider in choosing the most appropriate service alternatives to build up its own com-

Dependability Analysis of Web Service-based Business Processes by Model Transformations
A typical composite Web service is built of basic Web services, both internal and external, over which the integrator does not have a complete control. The service-based integration of enterprise systems raises the need for the analysis of non-functional characteristics of a composite Web service. Such an analysis should cover dependability (for instance, the reliability of the main process, se...
متن کاملA Runtime Dependability Evaluation Framework for Fault Tolerant Web Services
Service-oriented systems are usually built on top of Web service components, which are distributed across the Internet, making dependability a big challenge. In this paper, we propose a runtime dependability evaluation framework for fault tolerant Web services to attack this crucial problem. We first propose a user-collaborative framework for collecting Web service QoS information from both the...
متن کاملImproving Dependability in Service Oriented Architectures using Ontologies and Fault Injection
Large distributed systems and computer grids are increasingly being used in science and in business, with Service Oriented Architectures combined with Web services the current favoured solutions to access these distributed, heterogeneous resources. However, service-based systems have a high reliance on a middleware which is continuously evolving. This requires novel methods of testing and evalu...
متن کاملMeasuring the Dependability of Web Services for Use in e-Science Experiments
This paper introduces a dependability assessment tool (WSsDAT) for Web Services monitoring and testing. It allows users to evaluate dependability of Web Services from the point of view of their clients by collecting metadata representing a number of dependability metrics. This Java-based tool can be deployed in diverse geographical locations to monitor and test the behaviour of a selected set o...
متن کاملAdaptive Information Analysis in Higher Education Institutes
Information integration plays an important role in academic environments since it provides a comprehensive view of education data and enables mangers to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of education processes. However, the problem in the traditional information integration is the lack of personalization due to weak information resource or unavailability of analysis functionality. In this ...
