“…In some cases, they are adapted especially focusing on the improvement of semantics, composition and performance issues. Furthermore, new discovery models related to web envi-ronments (such as (Crasso et al 2014) or (Verma & Srivastava 2018)), or to the IoT/WoT and CPS (e.g., (Georgakopoulos et al 2015) or (Ben-Sassi et al 2018)) have been proposed.…”

“…In the domain of Smart Cities, there are solutions or perspectives for enabling discovery mechanisms. For example, the approach presented in (Ben-Sassi et al 2018) proposes an open and extensible platform for the creation and holistic interconnection of geolocated smart city services and devices from different sectors and stakeholders. The main goal of this plat-form is to overcome the fragmented and isolated IoT solutions toward a more integrated smart city ecosystem, by using service discovery and composition.…”

Software Engineering principles and practices promote the reuse of existing elements to maximize the performance of development and maintenance processes. The core concepts of reusability are aligned with the FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) principles. From our perspective, FAIR principles are not only related to data in a software system, because there are other resources and parts of a system that are related to data indirectly or require data schemas and models for their description and management. Examples of these resources are services, business logic processes, contracts, security policies, architectures, components, deployment resources, execution rules, or interaction alternatives, among other possible examples. Actually, any resource in a system may need to be discovered either internally by a subprocess, or externally by any client that might be interested in finding, accessing, interoperating, or reusing it. This paper addresses a systematic literature review to analyze the current principles, paradigms, and technologies that can be applied to enable discovering and reusing mechanisms in modern software systems, and how traditional and outdated approaches have been adapted to support present issues. From this analysis, we outlined the challenges and open research lines that can be addressed to achieve a suitable reuse strategy.

“…Composition of services and invocation of composite services have been widely studied in the past, mainly considering Web services in stable Internet legacy networks [9,10]. They also have been considered in networks composed of resource-constrained devices in the Internet of Things context [11][12][13][14], as well as in more challenged networks, such as in dynamic pervasive environments formed by mobile ad hoc networks [15][16][17]. Most of solutions proposed for these kinds of networks do not tolerate the connectivity disruptions that can unpredictably occur between devices, and that can introduce additional delays and failures in the invocation processes.…”

Multi-Strategy Dynamic Service Composition in Opportunistic Networks

Distributed computing pervasiveness is nowadays undeniable, and will continue to grow as the usage of device-to-device communications and the number of connected things populating our daily environment increase. Due to the connectivity disruptions induced by the mobility of devices communicating through short-range wireless interfaces and by the sleep phases of devices, it is often difficult to exploit the resources offered by the connected things forming these pervasive environments through the services they provide, and even harder to compose these services together so as to provide users with more useful and sophisticated services. This paper presents a service composition system adapted to opportunistic networks. This composition system relies on a service provision platform that exploits opportunistic networking and computing techniques to cope with connectivity disruptions. Service composition is performed dynamically, according to users’ interests. A multi-strategy scheme is used for the invocation of composite services, and a recovery mechanism is possible through partial invocation. This paper also presents the evaluation of the proposed composition system on two different scenarios: one involving people roaming in an open area, and another one involving spectators of a running event.
