Quality-driven Design and Management of Service-oriented Software Systems.
Tan Phan · 2008
Aligning SOA service and system properties with original business requirements during service design and operation is a major challenge that current research has not addressed in full. In this PhD work, we introduce the HOPE (High-level Objective-based Policy for Enterprises) framework that supports in a systematic manner the specification of quality-oriented policies at the business level and their refinement into policies at the system/service level. Our work is also aimed at defining an effective mechanism for businessoriented runtime monitoring of system operations and service interactions for quality conformance. Our further objective is to define adaptation mechanisms to overcome non-compliance. Our focus is on the security domain. Central to our approach is a service registry which acts as a facility for the management of policy lifecycle, to maintain the association of high-level business policies, quality objectives, and system level policies.
