“…Famous vendors (e.g. Google, Amazon) make available their resources as services via using the Web-service technology 1 . However, software built on top of these services, using the Service-oriented Architecture (SoA) style, should not be developed with respect to APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) of specific service providers, since it may be locked in outdated software functionality and/or data schemas.…”

To avoid the lock-in problem in service-oriented software, decoupling mechanisms have been proposed that identify service and schema high-level mappings for developing service-translation scripts. However, based on the fundamental data-translation process, the most important step is to produce low-level mappings that satisfy schema constraints. The problem is that the production of such mappings may not be feasible if service schemas are highly heterogeneous. Thus, we propose a proactive approach that firstly identifies similar services, which satisfy schema constraints, and then, provides them to decoupling mechanisms. In particular, given schema constraints, our approach follows a composite workflow for estimating service-translation cost, which reflects an upperbound of the ensured schema constraints. We evaluate the effectiveness of our approach against a state-of-the-art service similarity approach and the results show that high service similarity does not necessarily imply low service-translation cost, the bidirectional nature of service similarity can be misleading, ensured schema constraints improve service similarity, our estimated translation cost is very close to the corresponding actual cost, and service retrieval and clustering mechanisms are effective when they use our approach.

Service-oriented software, built using concrete services, tends to change with difficulty, as analogously happens in the objectoriented software when it uses concretions. Towards achieving dynamic decoupling, adapter-and abstraction-based approaches have been proposed, which aim at developing a single service-client for alternative services, i.e. services that offer the same or similar functionality, usually through syntactically similar interfaces. However, the aforementioned approaches do not propose fully dynamic-decoupling solutions, i.e. service invocations are not adapted in a completely seamless and dynamic way. Technically, the existing approaches realize the invocation of alternative services by using delegation, which implements complex service-translation scripts, (re-)configured at compile time. To go beyond the state-of-the-art, we propose the Service Façade pattern that leverages the case of syntactically similar interfaces, offering a unified service interface, based on which service invocations are seamlessly bound and adapted at runtime (late binding and dynamic adaptation, respectively). Technically, our pattern replaces delegation with service polymorphism, without needing the development of service-translation scripts. Moreover, the pattern structure, along with its client, are closed to modifications when new alternative services are incorporated.

With the rapid development of information technology, such as web service, cloud computing, manufacturing technology, manufacturing grid, Internet of things, and other networked manufacturing modes, cloud manufacturing (CMfg) is proposed and developed successfully . The main purpose of CMfg is to provide user with on‐demand, always‐ready, high‐quality and low‐consumption service, which is available for product design, manufacturing, testing, simulation and maintenance, and other manufacturing lifecycle process.…”

Cloud manufacturing (CMfg) has become a brand‐new service‐oriented networked manufacturing. The key technology that achieves this manufacture mode is to aggregate all kinds of potential CMfg services to create value‐added composite CMfg services, so as to satisfy various manufacturing requirements. As massive CMfg services with the same manufacturing functionalities and different quality of service (QoS) are emerging on the Internet, CMfg services dynamic composition becomes more and more complex. One challenge of this technology is how to efficiently solve the problem of multipath CMfg services dynamic composition. Another challenge is how to conquer the overconstrained problem occurred in the process of CMfg services dynamic composition. To tackle these two issues, this paper proposes an approach for multipath CMfg services dynamic composition based on improved QoS constraint hierarchies (CHs) model. First, a QoS constraints description model with new evaluation function is propounded based on the CHs theory to conquer the overconstrained problem; second, improved max–min ant system (MMAS) is put forward by introducing improved transfer rule, new global pheromone updating rule and mutation mechanism into MMAS, and then an optimization algorithm named culture genetic MMAS is constructed for multipath CMfg services dynamic composition. Finally, experimental results and performance comparison prove that the proposed method is both effective and efficient.
