The ACID transaction model has played a cornerstone role in service composition to guarantee that composite services (CSs) have transactional support and consistent outcomes even in presence of failures. However, the classical ACID properties are too restrictive for independent and multi-proprietors services running on distributed environments, such clouds. Transactional properties allow a relaxed atomicity and isolation, providing an "all-or-(almost)nothing" model.In previous works, we proposed a model to relax atomicity, called fuzzy atomicity, according user requirements (acceptable fuzzy atomicity). In this article, we extend that model and propose an approach to measure the fuzzy atomicity. Our model allows to self-adapt the CS execution, taking into account the state of the CS execution and user preferences (ie, the acceptable fuzzy atomicity expressed in the user requirements). This fuzzy atomicity measure is applied in a self-adaptive CS execution model based on the transactional properties (pivot, compensatable, and retriable) of its component services and on a checkpointing mechanism. It is suitable to cloud computing, which offers cloud services on demand and in which CS execution should preserve the self-organizing and self-adaptivity properties of such environment, specially in the presence of failures. We show how it is possible to relax the retriable property in CSs execution, based on our fuzzy atomicity model. Additionally, in this work, we present a comparative analysis of the most recent works in the context of ACID properties relaxation for CS. KEYWORDScloud computing services, fault tolerance, relaxed atomicity, self-adaptive execution, service composition INTRODUCTIONCloud is the most flexible and affordable on-demand platform for deploying custom applications in the form of services that are commonly called cloud services. The constantly increasing number of such services for accessing data on the cloud arises new challenges for enabling their integration and collaboration while guarantying self-organization and self-adaptivity properties, specially to manage failures. 1 Cloud services composition is a way to reach this collaboration and integration, since it consists in combining and coordinating several services allowing more complex service functionality that can respond more complex user queries. 2,3 Meanwhile, transactional support is a way to guarantee reliable composite service (CS), by considering the classical ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability) transactional properties or a variation of them. [4][5][6][7] Traditional ACID transaction model provides an "all-or-nothing" execution approach to support service failures generally based on transactional properties, compensation, rollback, and replication. However, for some applications, the classical "all-or-nothing" model is too restrictive for independent and multi-proprietors services running on distributed environments, such as cloud platforms. In this sense, advanced transactional models have been adapted to rel...

“…Transaction processing is one of the essential features of such an enterprise application, since they perform computationally intensive work [15] [19].

“…For the transaction processing to happen efficiently and effectively, considerable amounts of resources are required to complete execution in a reasonable timeframe [14]. Each time a transaction is initiated it creates the demand for a resource [19] and there are instances where two or more workloads can place a demand for the resources at the same time. We deduce that for the extended time such a workload is running it will be assigned available resources and will consume the resources until its execution is complete which could lead to other applications being denied or put on hold (waiting) since the resource is committed elsewhere.…”

Computational resources have such a significant influence on the operation of any software application, it is therefore important to understand how these applications utilize these resources. Modern resource-intensive enterprise and scientific applications are creating a growing demand for high performance computing infrastructures. They constantly interact with and rely heavily on complex resources. However, they often operate in resource-limited environments yet they often handle massive data, both in size and complexity. Software application services, processes or transactions compete for the much required but scarce resources. This creates the need to improve the existing resource allocation and management issue in such operational environments, as well as propose new ones, if necessary. Software developers try to analyze application operation environment using diverse analysis and design methods. Our aim therefore, is to design a tool that is able to work with a hybrid of adaptive and prediction-based resource management and allocation models while applying the priority based job scheduling algorithm to try and solve the application resource management challenges currently being faced in such environments, even if, partially.

REST, a communication protocol is used for communicating via APIs. It is widely used today for intercommunication among the services and the users. However, it does have the constraint of constructing servers to be stateless. Stateless servers are restricted from storing any information about the clients. Hence profiling such resources becomes a serious issue, as session is not retained. AOP enables implementing cross cutting concerns to be applied to applications without disturbing their business logic. This paper aims to overcome this challenge of resources profiling using REST and AOP concepts. It presents a plug and play approach for profiling REST resources using Aspect Oriented Programming.
