Test and Analysis of Web ServicesProduct DescriptionThe service-oriented approach has become more and more popular, now allowing highly integrated and yet heterogeneous applications. Web services are the natural evolution of conventional middleware technologies to support Web-based and enterprise-level integration. The highly dynamic characteristics of service-oriented applications means their validation is a continuous process that often runs in parallel with execution. It is not possible to clearly distinguish between the predeployment validation of a system and its use, nor is it possible to guarantee that the checks passed at a certain time will be passed at a later time and in the actual execution environment as well. Baresi and Di Nitto have put together the first reference on all aspects of testing and validating service-oriented architectures, taking into account these inherent intricacies. The contributions by leading academic and industrial research groups are structured into four parts on: static analysis to acquire insight into how the system is supposed to work; testing techniques to sample its actual behavior; monitoring to probe its operational performance; and nonfunctional requirements like reliability and trust. This monograph is an initial source of knowledge for researchers in both academia and industry in the field of service-oriented architecture validation and verification approaches. They will find a comprehensive survey of state-of-the-art approaches as well as techniques and tools to improve the quality of service-oriented applications.

SOA und WebServicesProduct DescriptionService-orientierte Architektur (SOA) ist ein aktuelles Schlagwort, das nicht nur im Bereich der Softwaretechnik sondern auch im Unternehmens-Management auf sehr viel Interesse gestoßen ist. Bei der Wahl der Strategie zur Modernisierung von IT-Landschaften fällt die Entscheidung häufig zugunsten dieses neuartigen Architekturmodells.Der Kerngedanke von SOA besteht darin, IT-Funktionalitäten in einzelne, geschäftsorientierte Serviceblöcke aufzuspalten und damit komplexe Strukturen aufzulösen. Dem Leser werden einerseits die allgemeinen Grundlagen der Serviceorientierung vermittelt und andererseits die technologischen Konzepte und Standards zur praktischen Umsetzung Service-orientierter Architekturen unter Verwendung von WebServices vorgestellt. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf der Fragestellung, in wie weit WebServices zur Implementierung geeignet sind. Ergänzend wird die Orchestrierung von Services zu einem Prozess mittels der Prozessbeschreibungssprache WS-BPEL beschrieben und auf organisatorische Vorgehensmethoden im Rahmen der SOA-Governance eingegangen.

A Web Services-enabled marketplace architecture for negotiation process managementProduct DescriptionThis digital document is a journal article from Decision Support Systems, published by Elsevier in 2005. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.Description: As the eBusiness environment becomes more pervasive and dynamic, negotiations between companies are required more frequently than ever. Despite its potential value and the progress in research, the adoption of negotiation systems has been slow in practice. We believe one reason for this is insufficient consideration of process management aspects such as process design, description, and deployment. Business negotiations must be approached from the process management perspective since they take place in the context of corporate processes such as procurement or sales. In this paper, we study system support and automation of business-to-business (B2B) negotiations from the process management perspective. We propose a Web Services-enabled marketplace architecture for negotiation process management and refine it by adding pattern-based process composition. We validate the concept by implementing the proposed architecture using BPEL4WS and evaluating it from various perspectives.

Meta workflows as a control and coordination mechanism for exception handling in workflow systemsProduct DescriptionThis digital document is a journal article from Decision Support Systems, published by Elsevier in 2005. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.Description: A higher level control and coordination mechanism is required for exception handling in workflow systems. This paper describes such a framework based on events, states, and a new kind of process called a meta workflow. Meta workflows have five kinds of meta activities and facilitate control over base workflows. We describe the framework and illustrate it with examples to show its features. The paper gives an architecture for incorporating it into existing workflows and also provides a formal semantics of execution. This framework can be used in Web services, supply chains, and inter-organizational applications where coordination requirements are complex, and flexible and adaptable workflows are needed. It is also useful for handling not just failure recovery but also various kinds of special situations, which arise frequently in web-based applications.

An Analysis of the Current Development Stage of the eXtensible Markup Language and its Usage for Database SystemsProduct DescriptionMA-Thesis / Master, die am 29.08.2002 erfolgreich an einer Universität in Großbritannien eingereicht wurde. Abstract: The eXtensible Markup Language (XML) is receiving a great deal of attention from computing and Internet communities. This is mainly because of its ability to reduce obstacles in sharing data among diverse applications and databases by providing a common format for expressing data structure and content. The scope of this project is to investigate the current stage of XML and its usage for database systems. In order to understand the XML database technology a general introduction to both database systems and XML is provided to the reader in chapter two and three. Chapter four and five deal with the methodology and findings of this project. These chapters rely on articles, case studies and surveys which are examined and evaluated. Finally, a conclusion and review chapter is included. The analysis of the current adoption of XML among software developers revealed that in Spring 2001 more than one third of international developers already used XML. In 2001 they spent about 5.4% of their development time using XML. For 2002 it is predicted that they will spend an average of 9% of their development time using XML. Concerning XML databases there are currently two major XML related database types available. These are native XML and XML enabled relational databases. Native XML databases are constructed to use the recommended XML standards to the most possible extent. Thereby, the XML document is the fundamental unit of storage. XML enabled relational databases are relational databases equipped with an additional layer to map XML content in to the relational tables. XML documents are only used as a means of transport between the database systems. Native XML databases are better suited for dealing with document structured content whilst XML enabled relational databases are more appropriate to handle data structured content such as numbers and piece… Buy from Amazon An Analysis of the Current Development Stage of the eXtensible Markup Language and its Usage for Database Systems Share and Enjoy: Read More →
