Estimating Reliability of Service-Oriented Systems: A Rule Based Approach
Ashish Seth · SSRN Electronic Journal · 2014
In service-oriented architecture (SOA), the entire software system consists of an interacting group of autonomous services. In order to make such a system reliable, it should inhibit guarantee for basic service, data flow, composition of services, and the complete workflow. This paper discusses the important factor of SOA and their role in the entire SOA system reliability. We focus on the factors that have the strongest effect of SOA system reliability. Based on these factors, we used a fuzzy-based approach to estimate the SOA reliability. The proposed approach is implemented on a database obtained for SOA application, and the results obtained validate and confirm the effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy approach. Furthermore, one can make trade-off analyses between different parameters for reliability.
