The increased use of electronic service has invented a new term Service-Oriented Architecture. In atypical distributed environment consisting of many independent devices and services, it is practically required to apply a framework of dynamically combining service. The goal in developing such a framework is to add variety of functional operations as well as interaction among services, share data of software modules, and force devices and services working together in a coordinated fashion. This paper proposes a dynamic service combination framework coupled with a Service Broker for Jini, and explains how to achieve the behavior coordination of services. The major contributions of this paper are: first, the concept of combined service is abstracted into a number of cooperative services; second, it provides a programming framework that allows us not only to combine services dynamically but also to generate the combined service automatically.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
