AOP for Dynamic Configuration and Management of Web Services

Towards an ontology-based approach for specifying and securing Web services

“…Verheecke et al argue that another limitation encountered in the field of Web services is that Web services can only be selected based on the functionality they offer [25]. WSDL-based Web services documentation does not support the explicit specification of the non-functional requirements such as constraintbased on QoS, access rights, and management statements.…”

“…While these concepts are independently studied (except for Web services composition and ontology), our research aims at their combination. In what follows, some of the initiatives that have backed our thoughts are discussed [7,21,23,25,27,30]. …”

Semantic based aspect-oriented programming for context-aware Web service composition

“…WSML [38] realises the dynamic service selection and the integration of Web services through WSML, with a management layer placed in between the application and the Web services. The main motivation of WSML is to provide management support to achieve high modularity, whereas our main motivation is to deal with context by semantic context weaver to achieve context-aware Web service composition.…”

Model-Driven Service Level Management

“…The most well-known approaches on SLAs are related with SOA (Web Service Level Agreement (WSLA) [4], the Web Services Agreement Specification (WSAgreement) specification [5], Web Services Offering Language (WSOL) [6], the Web Service Management Layer (WSML) [7] and the Web Service Modeling Ontology (WSMO) [8], Rule-Based Service Level Agreements (RBSLA) [9] and the SLAng [10]). These approaches only address computational processes and are not able to deal with processes where humans are involved such the ones covered of ITSM.…”
