Cross-layer self-adaptation of service-oriented architectures
Eli Gjørven, Romain Rouvoy, Frank Eliassen · 2008
Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) are built as compositions of inter-organizational services. These services are deployed and published by providers who are responsible for provisioning the services with sufficient resources. However, even though services are implemented by technologies providing a wide range of adaptation related features, such as configurable component models and communication infrastructures, state-of-the-art approaches to adaptive SOA systems do not provide principled solutions to exploit application layer adaptation mechanisms.
