Exploring the Challenges of Dynamic Integration of Heterogeneous Services
Makaziwe Makamba · 2016
The proliferation of service enterprise environment has increased the development of heterogeneous services across the world. In today's world, services are the key component of communication across the globe. Since Internet has stimulated the use of services, different services have been developed for different purposes. As the development of heterogeneous services is increasing the challenges of integrating these services are enormous. Traditionally, integration is achieved by using gateways which require considerable configuration effort. Many approaches and frameworks have been developed by different researchers to overcome these challenges, but up to date the challenges of integration heterogeneous services with minimal user-involvement still exist. In this paper we are exploring the challenges of heterogeneous services and what have been done by other researchers to overcome these challenge; with an aim of developing a mechanism that will alleviate these challenges. It is therefore outmost important to understand the challenges of heterogeneous service integration before developing a mechanism that could eliminate these challenges.
