In the change management context, handling web service evolution is a challenging issue that aims to adapt deployed business processes to the perpetual changes occurring in enterprises environments. While existing approaches deal with the problem by focusing only on migratable instances, in this approach the authors propose a paradigm shift based on reconfigurable objects nets (RONs) to allow running service instances continuing their execution according to the evolved protocol specifications. In this approach, service protocols are modelled as petri nets, and changes are perceived as transformation rules. Further, reachability graphs are deployed for calculating migratable services instances after evolution. The conceived framework allows migrating active instances from the old protocol version to the evolved one. Web service protocol compatibility and replaceability aspects are addressed to distinguish migratable services instances from non-migratable ones. The authors illustrate their contribution and highlight advantages of using RONs through a real-world scenario related to the visa application service.

“…Existing work on service evolution, see for instance [18], [2], [17], [1], does not consider Web services as black-boxes, yet they allow access and changes their implementation details. In [17], [1], the authors differentiate between two kinds of changes: shallow changes where the effect of the changes is localized to a service or is strictly restricted to the clients of that service; and deep changes which extend beyond the clients of a service possibly to the clients of these service clients such as outsourcers or suppliers.…”

“…The work presented in [18] focuses on the management of dynamic evolution -i.e., it deals with the effect of the service changes which occur when a system is running an old service version. More recently, [2] studied static evolution. This work proposes changing the client which can be a service.…”

“…However, adaptor generation is an intricate process, and in some cases it is impossible to resolve interface incompatibility using such techniques, e.g., parameter type conversion is not supported. The second class of existing approaches [18], [2], [17], [1] allows the designer to change service interfaces in order to ensure the system compatibility. These works do not consider service as black-boxes, and their techniques used to modify service interfaces consist of two steps: (i) They first detect changes by calculating all differences between the upgraded and old service version; (ii) Then, they propagate all these changes into the upgraded version -i.e., adding and deleting some parts of the service interface.…”

Abstract-In service-based systems, service evolution might raise critical communication issues since the client cannot be aware of the changes that have occurred on the black-box services side. In this paper, we propose an automated process to adapt the client to the changes that have occurred. Our approach relies on a compatibility measuring method, and changes the client interface to ensure the system compatibility. This solution is fully automated inside a prototype tool we have implemented.
