For a system of distributed processes, correctness can be ensured by (statically) checking whether their composition satisfies properties of interest. However, web services are dis...
Service-oriented architectures enable services to be dynamically selected and integrated at runtime, thus enabling system flexibility and adaptiveness—autonomic attributes that...
—In this paper we extend our previous work on soft probabilistic contracts for QoS management, from the particular case of “response time”, to general QoS parameters. Our stu...
Service-oriented architectures (SOA) and, in particular, Web Services designs are currently widely used for the development of open, large-scale interoperable systems. In those sys...
A service-oriented architecture enables composite applications that support business processes to be defined and built dynamically from loosely coupled and interoperable web servi...
