A platform to support decentralized and dynamically distributed P2P composite OWL-S service execution
Thorsten J. Möller, Heiko Schuldt · 2007
In a large variety of applications, it is increasingly important to provide application functionality in a modular way by means of (Web) services. At the same time, pre-defined applications are no longer suitable to cope with the high functional dynamics that can be found in novel e-business, e-health, and e-science applications. In contrast, dynamic application creation, i.e., applications that are assembled ad hoc by service composition and usually instantiated very few times, are more and more becoming prevalent. Form a systems point of view, large scale application environments like the Internet create scalability requirements towards distributed execution of composite (Web) services which go beyond the traditional non-distributed approach to manage composite services.
