Ontology based algorithm modeling: obtaining adaptation for SOA environment

ABSTRACT

Our work addresses the issue of software adaptation in Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) environments. We aim to support a wide range of adaptations using a new formulation of Web Service (WS) model based on client driven service adaptation via ontological description of algorithms. We describe how this approach can be applied to a SOA scenario involving heterogeneous systems, and report on experimental work that demonstrates how services can be transformed in practice, using a framework approach.
