Abstract:
While tools for service-oriented architectures promise a seamless combination of stateless basic services to new applications, reality looks different. Real-world services are wrapping stateful behavior using application-specific concepts, the monitoring is only available through vendor-specific interfaces, and service installations are bound to particular execution hosts. We present the ASG Services Infrastructure (SI) architecture as our practical solution to these real-world service integration issues. Our framework is based on established Web service standards and supports the dynamic hosting and monitoring of heterogeneous and stateful service implementations.
