DAMASCo: A Framework for the Automatic Composition of Component-Based and Service-Oriented Architectures

A context-aware framework for dynamic composition of process fragments in the internet of services

“…Other approaches like [31,[34][35][36][37][38], have introduced the management of semantic knowledge in their models to drive the services' composition and interoperation but, despite this, they do not allow processes to be specialized at runtime, through dynamic service composition. Cubo and Pimentel [25], Mrissa et al [26], Greenwood [27] allow for very efficient management of service compositions at runtime, while [16,32] supports composition evolution through adaptation to possible changes in the discovered services. The adaptation strategies applied in these approaches in some cases are defined at design-time or are strongly related to a prescribed coordination model (i.e., BPMN2 model in [32] does not open to runtime and context-aware refinements).…”

“…Moreover, the adaptation and application logics are mixed making the model not very flexible. In [25] the authors present DAMASCo, a framework managing the discovery, composition, adaptation and monitoring of services in a context-aware fashion by taking into account semantic information rather than only the syntactic one.…”

“…The authors present a context-based mediation approach that allows services both to share a common meaning of exchanged data and to automatically resolve conflicts related to the semantic of the data, by using context-based annotations which offer an optimized handling of the data flow. It would be interesting to use the approaches [25,26] in the management of the composition of fragments coming from the different entities and the definition of the data flow between them. In [27] the concepts of goals and plans are introduced in the business processes modeling with the purpose of extending the standard BPMN to make the BPM more flexible and responsive to change.…”

Domain Objects for Dynamic and Incremental Service Composition

“…Moreover, the adaptation and application logics are mixed making the model not so flexible. In [7] the authors present DAMASCo, a framework managing the discover, composition, adaptation and monitor of services in a context-aware fashion by taking into account semantic information rather than only the syntactic one. Since they address the problem of making the reuse of software entities more agile and easy to model, they focus especially on the adaptation of pre-existing software entities that are used during the developing of SBA.…”
