“…In-deed, our method exploits well-know adaptation patterns (e.g., [18,5]) to adapt TOSCA templates. The novelty of TOSCA-MART is rather that, in contrast with traditional adaptation approaches (e.g., [11,21]), no additional code must be developed to reuse existing cloud-based services. We exploit the possibilities provided by TOSCA of mapping exposed features onto internal ones, and of entirely delegating the management of such mappings to TOSCA containers [24].…”

To fully appreciate cloud computing powers, design and development of cloud applications should be eased and supported. The OASIS TOSCA standard enables developers to design and develop cloud applications by specifying their topologies as orchestrations of typed nodes and relationships. However, building such application topologies often results in reinventing the wheel multiple times when similar solutions are manually created for different applications by different developers having the same requirements. Thus, the reusability of existing TOSCA solutions is crucial to ease and support design and development processes. In this paper, we tackle this issue. We introduce TOSCA-MART, a method that enables deriving valid implementations for custom components from a repository of complete and validated cloud applications. The method enables developers to specify individual components in their application topologies, and illustrates how to match, adapt, and reuse existing (fragments of) applications to implement these components while fulfilling all their compliance requirements. We also characterize and validate TOSCA-MART by means of a prototypical implementation based on an open source toolchain and a case study.

“…This framework consists of i) a taxonomy of the different possible types of mismatch between external specification and service implementation, ii) a repository of aspectbased patterns to automate the task of handling mismatches, and iii) a tool to support template instantiation and their execution together with the service implementation. After that, they [13]characterized the problem of Web services adaptation focusing on business interfaces and protocols adapters. They introduced mismatch patterns completely to capture these recurring differences and to provide solutions to resolve them.…”

The security policies of an application can change at runtime for some reasons such as the changes on the user preferences, the performance reasons or the negotiation of security levels between the interacting parties. If these security policies are embedded in the services, their modifications require to modify the services, stop and deploy new version. Aspect oriented paradigm provides the possibility to define separated components that is named aspect. In this paper, in order to fulfill security requirements, we will classify required changes of services and for each classifications, how aspects injection will be described. Finally, we will present a pattern for each aspect of each classification.

“…The common approach across this work has been to use adapters, which are components that can be plugged between the mismatched components to convert the data inputs and outputs as necessary. Kongdenfha et al [22] and Bowers and Ludascher [4] used adapters to convert among formats and internal structures of services' data. Several end-user composition environments today also use adapters for data mismatch resolution.…”

Abstract. Many domains such as scientific computing and neuroscience require end users to compose heterogeneous computational entities to automate their professional tasks. However, an issue that frequently hampers such composition is data-mismatches between computational entities. Although, many composition frameworks today provide support for data mismatch resolution through specialpurpose data converters, end users still have to put significant effort in dealing with data mismatches, e.g., identifying the available converters and determining which of them meet their QoS expectations. In this paper we present an approach that eliminates this effort by automating the detection and resolution of data mismatches. Specifically, it uses architectural abstractions to automatically detect different types of data mismatches, model-generation techniques to fix those mismatches, and utility theory to decide the best fix based on QoS constraints. We illustrate our approach in the neuroscience domain where data-mismatches can be fixed in an efficient manner on the order of few seconds.
