Event-driven service mediation mechanism for grid environments
Wanghu Chen · Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems · 2007
To facilitate the interoperations among autonomous,dynamic and semantically inconsistent services in grid environments,an event-driven service mediation mechanism was proposed to deal with dynamic service matching and interoperation.With the mechanism,business events were treated as the first-class entities,and the relationships among business events were introduced.Based on business events and their relationships,four service mediation primitives were presented to realize loosely-coupled interoperations and data exchanges among services.The core concepts,working principles and interoperation process of the mechanism were discussed by combining a supply chain scenario.Experiments showed that the mechanism could realize the interoperation among services while preserving their independence.
