Elevating Interaction Requirements for Web Service Composition.
M. Hepner, Michael T. Gamble, Rose Gamble · 2006
Web services are increasingly utilized to create integrated applications from existing components. However, incompatible interaction expectations between Web service interfaces and/or non-Web service interfaces participating in the overall application can inhibit the integration. Frequently, these conflicts are resolved on a case by case basis. Advantages can be gained by understanding integration conflict resolution as formal interaction requirements. This approach enables evaluation of recurring integration conflicts during requirements analysis (rather than as a testing step), thus providing a more complete resolution that is abstracted from specific runtime interaction instances. 1.
