Towards recovering the broken SOA triangle

Service-oriented computing (SOC) receives a lot of attention from academia and industry as a means to develop flexible and dynamic software solutions. Facing the facts, service-oriented solutions are by far not as dynamic and adaptable as they claim to be. The initial idea of the SOA triangle to publish-find-bind-execute a service is often not implemented as envisioned due to a number of missing or wrongly-used concepts. In our ongoing VReSCO project, a service-oriented infrastructure is being developed which aims at solving a number of grand challenges currently evident in the SOC community. In this paper we present our initial work on providing a reasonable basis that addresses the issues of dynamic binding and invocation by leveraging a flexible solution based on notifications.
