Abstract

Service composition is one of the key objectives for adopting Service Oriented Architecture. Today, web services, however, are not always perfectly compatible and composition mismatches are common problems. Service mediation, generally classified into signature and protocol ones, thus becomes one key working area in SOA. While the former has received considerable attention, protocol mediation is still open and current approaches provide only partial solutions. In this paper, a pattern-based approach is proposed for developers to semi-automatically generate mediators and glue partially compatible services together. Based on the investigation on workflow patterns and message exchanging sequences in service interactions, several basic mediator patterns are developed and can be used to modularly construct advanced mediators that can resolve all possible protocol mismatches, especially such mismatches about complicated control logics. Moreover, the architecture for the service mediation system is designed and implemented to prove the feasibility of our approach.

A pattern-based approach to protocol mediation for web services composition

Context: With the increasing popularity of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), service composition is gaining momentum as the potential silver bullet for application integration. However, services are not always perfectly compatible and therefore ...
Service farming: an ad-hoc and QoS-aware web service composition approach
SAC '13: Proceedings of the 28th Annual ACM Symposium on Applied Computing

The missing point so far in the Web service composition is a proper support for composing services without a complete and predefined composition plan. As in some cases such as the crisis management, the composition plan can only be partially defined or ...
A Dynamic and Adaptable Service Composition Architecture in the Cloud Based on a Multi-Agent System

Nowadays, service composition is one of the major problems in the Cloud due to the exceptional growth in the number of services deployed by providers. Recently, atomic services have been found to be unable to deal with all client requirements. ...
