The impact of RESTful semantics on reducing the logging overhead in SOA

Abstract

Nowadays, one of the major paradigms of distributed processing is service-oriented computing. Although SOAbased applications have many advantages, they are also highly error-prone. To improve the availability and reliability of SOAbased systems and applications, a Reliable Service Environment RESERVE, providing an external support of web services recovery has been proposed. In this paper we focus on RESTful web services, based on Representational State Transfer (REST) paradigm, and propose the enhancement of RESERVE service that allows to decrease the overhead introduced by RESERVE due to taking advantage of REST characteristics.
