An SOA-compliant DEVS (SOAD) simulation framework is proposed for modeling service-oriented computing systems. A set of novel abstract component models that conform to the SOA principles and are grounded in the DEVS formalism is developed. The approach supports construction of hierarchical composition of service models with feedback relationships. A SOAD Simulator (SOADS) is designed and implemented. An exemplar model of a basic serviceoriented computing system is described. A representative experiment capturing throughput and timeliness QoS attributes for the exemplar model is devised, simulated, and described. The paper concludes with the concept of community-based development of the SOAD framework and tools.
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.
