“…The EUCalipTool Composer includes a web-based authoring tool that proposes a Domain Specific Modeling Language (DSML) to facilitate the modeling of microservice composition. It is based on a previous work that focuses on helping end-users to compose services by using a visual interface from a mobile device (Valderas et al, 2017).…”

In order to provide complex and elaborated functionalities, Microservices may cooperate with each other either by following a centralized (orchestration) or decentralized (choreography) approach. It seems that the decentralized nature of microservices makes the choreography approach more appropriate to achieve such cooperation, where lighter solutions based on events and message queues are used. However, orchestration through the usage of a process model makes it is easier to analyze the flow of the composition when modifications are required. In order to benefit from the goodness of these two approaches, this paper presents a hybrid solution based on the choreography of business process pieces, that are obtained from a previously defined description of the complete microservice composition. To support this solution, the EUCalipTool platform is presented.

Towards the composition of services by end-users. A mobile-based solutionAbstract. Nowadays, we live surrounded by heterogeneous and distributed services that are available to people anytime and anywhere. Even though these services can be used individually, it is through their synchronised and combined usage that end-users are provided with added value. However, existing solutions to service composition are not targeted at ordinary end-users. In fact, these solutions require technical knowledge to deal with the technological heterogeneity in which these services are offered to the market. To this end, we present a tool-supported platform that is aided by: (1) EUCalipTool, an enduser mobile tool that implements a Domain Specific Visual Language, which has been specifically designed to compose services on mobile devices; (2) a Faceted Service Registry, which plays the role of gateway between service implementations and end-users, hiding technological issues from the latter when including services in a composition; and (3) a Generation Module, which transforms end-user descriptions into BPMN specification that are interpreted by an execution infrastructure developed for that purpose.

A social network for supporting end users in the composition of services: definition and proof of concept

Nowadays, end users are surrounded by plenty of services that are somehow supporting their daily routines and activities. Involving end users into the process of service creation can allow end users to benefit from a cheaper, faster, and better service provisioning. Even though we can already find tools that face this challenge, they consider end users as isolate individuals. In this paper, we investigate how social networks can be used to improve the composition of services by end users. To do so, we propose a graph-based definition of a social structure, and analyse how social connections can be exploited to both facilitate end users to discover services through browsing these connections, and recommend services to end users during the composition activity. As proof of concept, we implement and evaluate the proposed social network in the context of EUCalipTool, a mobile end-user environment for composing services.
