The introduction of self-adaptation and self-management techniques in a service-oriented system can allow to meet in a changing environment the levels of service formally defined with the system users in a Service Level Agreement (SLA). However, a self-adaptive SOA system has to be carefully designed in order not to compromise the system scalability and availability. In this paper we present the design and performance evaluation of a brokering service that supports at runtime the self-adaptation of composite services offered to several concurrent users with different service levels. To evaluate the performance of the brokering service, we have carried out an extensive set of experiments on different implementations of the system architecture using workload generators that are based on open and closed system models. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the brokering service design in achieving scalability and high availability.

Abstract
The introduction of self-adaptation and self-management techniques in a service-oriented system can allow to meet in a changing environment the levels of service formally defined with the system users in a Service Level Agreement (SLA). However, a self-adaptive SOA system has to be carefully designed in order not to compromise the system scalability and availability. In this paper we present the design and performance evaluation of a brokering service that supports at runtime the self-adaptation of composite services offered to several concurrent users with different service levels. To evaluate the performance of the brokering service, we have carried out an extensive set of experiments on different implementations of the system architecture using workload generators that are based on open and closed system models. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the brokering service design in achieving scalability and high availability.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
