Improving Dependability of Service Oriented Architectures for Pervasive Computing

Overview Service Oriented Programming - which combines Distributed Object Computing, Component Based and web-based concepts - has recently emerged as a promising approach to develop dynamic and heterogeneous service provision environments. Such systems are referenced in literature as Service Oriented Architectures. Classic strategies to address dependability in Distributed Object Computing middleware may not be straightforwardly applied to Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) for pervasive computing, since they operate in quite different contexts compared to traditional DOC middleware. This paper sheds some light on dependability issues of SOAs. In particular, the paper identifies dependability requirements of such systems during their lifecycle showing how these requirements may change depending on the time phase (discovery, lookup, setup, delivery).
