“…Hence, one important area of future work involves a service decomposition method to help developers identify necessary service elements, critical services and group redundant or crosscutting concerns. Fortunately, we have a generic software system decomposition method named Function-Class Decomposition with Aspects (FCD-A) [4]. For example, availability and reliability are critical concerns during the development of the service-oriented system to deliver fault-resilient ubiquitous services.…”

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) promises an elegant model that can easily handle dynamic and heterogeneous environments such as pervasive computing systems. However, in reality, frequent failures of resource-poor and low-cost sensors greatly diminish the guarantees on reliability and availability offered and expected by SOA. To provide a framework for building fault-resilient service-oriented pervasive computing system, we present a solution that includes a virtual sensor framework and a high performance service composition solution based on: (1) WS-Pro, a probe-based performance-driven service composition architecture, and (2) an abstract service composition template (ASCT) approach. The concept of virtual sensor enhances the availability of services, while the service composition solution ensures the system can efficiently adapt to changes and failures in the environment. This approach also includes a novel probebased monitoring technique to actively collect performance data, and the use of an extended Petri net model, FPQSPN, to model performance of service composition.

The quality of execution tracing impacts the time to a great extent to locate errors in software components; moreover, execution tracing is the most suitable tool, in the majority of the cases, for doing postmortem analysis of failures in the field. Nevertheless, software product quality models do not adequately consider execution tracing quality at present neither do they define the quality properties of this important entity in an acceptable manner. Defining these quality properties would be the first step towards creating a quality model for execution tracing. The current research fills this gap by identifying and defining the variables, i.e., the quality properties, on the basis of which the quality of execution tracing can be judged. The present study analyses the experiences of software professionals in focus groups at multinational companies, and also scrutinises the literature to elicit the mentioned quality properties. Moreover, the present study also contributes to knowledge with the combination of methods while computing the saturation point for determining the number of the necessary focus groups. Furthermore, to pay special attention to validity, in addition to the the indicators of qualitative research: credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability, the authors also considered content, construct, internal and external validity.

“…To capture and organize various concerns appearing during the system decomposition, an extended FCD method called Function-Class decomposition with Aspects (FCD-A) [72] introduces the integrated concept of aspects and an additional decomposition view. FCD-A partitions a software system iteratively and progressively in two system-wide views: the function-class view and the aspect view.…”
