Towards a methodology for lifelong validation of service compositions
Domenico Bianculli, Carlo Ghezzi · 2008
We argue that the dynamic nature of compositions in service-oriented architectures requires re-thinking the whole lifetime of an application, from requirements, to design and implementation, to deployment, to operation. In particular, the traditional boundary between design time and run time is blurring. Validation, which traditionally pertains to design time, must now extend to run time. This position paper digs into the requirements and outlines a research agenda, based on the experience gained in previous research projects, to engineer dependable service compositions.
