On the Automated Synthesis of Enterprise Integration Patterns to Adapt Choreography-based Distributed Systems
The Future Internet is becoming a reality, providing a large-scale computing
environments where a virtually infinite number of available services can be
composed so to fit users' needs. Modern service-oriented applications will be
more and more often built by reusing and assembling distributed services. A key
enabler for this vision is then the ability to automatically compose and
dynamically coordinate software services. Service choreographies are an
emergent Service Engineering (SE) approach to compose together and coordinate
services in a distributed way. When mismatching third-party services are to be
composed, obtaining the distributed coordination and adaptation logic required
to suitably realize a choreography is a non-trivial and error prone task.
Automatic support is then needed. In this direction, this paper leverages
previous work on the automatic synthesis of choreography-based systems, and
describes our preliminary steps towards exploiting Enterprise Integration
Patterns to deal with a form of choreography adaptation.Comment: In Proceedings FOCLASA 2015, arXiv:1512.0694
Distributed Enforcement of Service Choreographies
Modern service-oriented systems are often built by reusing, and composing
together, existing services distributed over the Internet. Service choreography
is a possible form of service composition whose goal is to specify the
interactions among participant services from a global perspective. In this
paper, we formalize a method for the distributed and automated enforcement of
service choreographies, and prove its correctness with respect to the
realization of the specified choreography. The formalized method is implemented
as part of a model-based tool chain released to support the development of
choreography-based systems within the EU CHOReOS project. We illustrate our
method at work on a distributed social proximity network scenario.Comment: In Proceedings FOCLASA 2014, arXiv:1502.0315
Correctness of services and their composition
We study correctness of services and their composition and investigate how the design of correct service compositions can be systematically supported. We thereby focus on the communication protocol of the service and approach these questions using formal methods and make contributions to three scenarios of SOC.Wir studieren die Korrektheit von Services und Servicekompositionen und untersuchen, wie der Entwurf von korrekten Servicekompositionen systematisch unterstĂĽtzt werden kann. Wir legen dabei den Fokus auf das Kommunikationsprotokoll der Services. Mithilfe von formalen Methoden tragen wir zu drei Szenarien von SOC bei

A Requirements-Led Approach for Specifying QoS-Aware Service Choreographies: An Experience Report.
[Context and motivation] Choreographies are a form of service composition in which partner services interact in a global scenario without a single point of control. The absence of an explicitly specified orchestration requires changes to requirements practices to recognize the need to optimize software services choreography and monitoring for satisfaction with system requirements.
[Question/problem] We developed a requirements-led approach that aims to provide tools and processes to transform requirements expressed on service-based systems to QoS-aware choreography specifications.
[Principal ideas/results] The approach is used by domain experts to specify natural language requirements on a service-based system, and by choreography designers to adapt their models to satisfy requirements more effectively. Non-functional requirements are mapped to BPMN choreography diagrams as quality properties, using the Q4BPMN notation, that support analysis and monitoring facilities. [Contribution] We report the new integrated approach and provide lessons learned from applying it to a real-world example of dynamic taxi management
Automatic Choreography Repair
Choreography analysis is a crucial problem in concurrent and distributed system development. A choreography specifies the desired ordering of message exchanges among the components of a system. The realizability of a choreography amounts to determining the existence of components whose communication behavior conforms to the given choreography. Recently, the choreography realizability problem has been proved to be decidable. In this paper, we investigate the repairability of un- realizable choreographies, where the goal is to identify a set of changes to a given un-realizable choreography that will make it realizable. We present a technique for automatically repairing un-realizable choreographies and provide formal guarantees of correctness and termination. We show the viability of our technique by applying it successfully for several small but representative unrealizable choregraphies from the domain of Singulary OS contract and Web services

Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) for Market Analysis of FP7 CHOReOS Products
AbstractThe European 7th Framework FP7-ICT-2009-5 project CHOReOS No. 257178 (2010-2013) “Large Scale Choreographies for the Future Internet (IP)” is aimed to elaborate on new methods and tools related to Future Internet ultra-large-scale (ULS) solution development based on the use of choreographies. The purpose of this research is to identify exploitable CHOReOS products and approaches and business market trends that may exploit them. The aim is to collect and assess early market inputs, thereby ensuring that market needs are addressed properly by the CHOReOS project. The market acceptance assessment is done using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), but the credibility of results is assessed using Cronbach's Alpha, Split-Half Reliability and Spearman–Brown testing methods
Components Interoperability through Mediating Connector Patterns
A key objective for ubiquitous environments is to enable system
interoperability between system's components that are highly heterogeneous. In
particular, the challenge is to embed in the system architecture the necessary
support to cope with behavioral diversity in order to allow components to
coordinate and communicate. The continuously evolving environment further asks
for an automated and on-the-fly approach. In this paper we present the design
building blocks for the dynamic and on-the-fly interoperability between
heterogeneous components. Specifically, we describe an Architectural Pattern
called Mediating Connector, that is the key enabler for communication. In
addition, we present a set of Basic Mediator Patterns, that describe the basic
mismatches which can occur when components try to interact, and their
corresponding solutions.Comment: In Proceedings WCSI 2010, arXiv:1010.233
