Architecture of Web services Sample Clauses

Architecture of Web services. A great advantage of SOC is its support for service composition which encompasses the functionality for the consolidation of multiple services into a single new value-added service. Such a service is referred to as a composite service while its constituent services are called component services. The resulting composite services can be used as a component service in further service compositions or be utilised as applications/solutions by service consumers [83]. Service composition provides a number of benefits: • Service composition allows service providers to minimise the amount of coding work for building new applications; • Service composition reduces the cost and risks for building new application on top of the existing reusable Web services; and • Service composition reduces the complexity of building new applications by separating application development and implementation. In the SOC environment, services are delivered as merchandises from service providers to consumers and hence expose both functional properties (i.e. what they do) and non-functional properties (i.e. the way they are provided). There are many various non-functional properties of services, including all properties that are not directly related to the provided functions. QoS is a most important subset of non-functional properties. QoS is traditionally used to refer specifically to network performance and reliability characteristics. In the context of SOC, QoS refers to a wider variety of service properties. QoS plays an important role in all service-related tasks, especially in service selection. Imagine a scenario in which multiple services (provided by different service providers) provide the same functionality that can fulfil a service consumer’s request, the ability of the service consumer to differentiate between the services as well as the service providers depends on the quality of the services that they can provide. Service consumers’ QoS requirements for requested services usually vary from one to another. For example, a service consumer with a sufficient budget may want a service delivered rapidly regardless of price while another service consumer with limit budget may want the service delivered at a low price by sacrificing the delivery time. How to guarantee QoS in order to meet service consumers’ requirements at different stages of the service provision is a very important problem. In a service composition scenario, component services are composed to create a composite se...
