Assessing complexity of service-oriented computing using learning classifier systems
Lei Liu, Stefan Thanheiser, Hartmut Schmeck · 2009
The design paradigm service-orientation combines several proven design elements - such as decentralization, and scalability - with design elements from recent technology evolution, in particular abstraction and loosely coupling. However, few work has been conducted to investigate the complexity associated with service-oriented systems. This work provides an overview on complexity in SOC, outlines the challenges in assessing complexity in SOC, and proposes an experiment-based approach to assess the impact of various inherent properties on the complexity of service-oriented systems.
