“…We assume that service property conflicts may be detected by some suitable method for example Xu et al (2010); therefore we focus on determining a conflict resolution strategy based on the execution model M for meeting the user's requirements. The resolution scheme consists of two elements: a roll-back strategy that identifies part of the current execution plane that needs to undertake compensation operation; and a strategy for selecting an alternative execution plane that can complete the service for meeting user requirements.…”

“…Zhang et al (2007b) presented an immune-inspired on-line detection system for WSFI problem. Xu et al (2011Xu et al ( , 2010 adopt the method of situation calculus to achieve a dynamic detection of feature interaction, while Chen et al (2010) proposed a multi-solutions service conflict resolver based on a Markov decision model. They also presented a case study to analyse, but it does not make use of actual combination services to conduct experimental runtime validation.…”

“…A solution to this problem comprises two aspects: run-time conflict detection of service properties and run-time resolution of service property conflicts. In our previous work we developed a run-time conflict detection technique based on the situation calculus Xu et al (2010) and proposed the STRIPS method for detecting service property conflicts Xu et al (2011). Therefore, in this paper we focus our study on run-time resolution of service property conflicts and propose a novel online approach to conflict resolution based on bi-objective optimization.…”

With rapid development of Web service technologies, service composition has become a common approach to realizing complex business processes. Due to the large number of services developed and deployed independently by various providers, undesirable interactions between properties of different service components may occur when they are composed into a composite service. Such service property conflicts become a serious obstacle for service composition to meet users' requirements. Although traditional feature interaction techniques may prevent some property conflicts in service design stage, many conflicts occur during execution based on certain run-time data; therefore must be resolved online. In this paper, we propose a scheme to address the problem of run-time resolution of service property conflicts. We first formulate the conflict resolution problem with a bi-objective optimization model based on user's revenue, which represents the QoS and success rate of a service. Then we solve the bi-objective optimization model to obtain a set of Pareto solutions and rank the solutions to identify the optimal one, which gives the best roll back strategy and alternative service plan for resolving a service property conflict. We also implement the proposed scheme in a prototype of online shopping application and evaluate performance of the scheme through experiments. The obtained experimental results indicate that our scheme is effective and efficient in resolving service property conflicts at runtime.

-Service-Oriented Computing achieves its full potential when services interoperate. Current service-oriented computing research is concerned with the low level interoperation among services, such as service discovery, service composition etc. However, a high level research issue in form of the feature interaction problem is challenging the interoperation of services. Traditional feature interaction methods are focused on the service design phase using formal methods or pragmatic software engineering analysis. Autonomy and distribution of service development and deployment create needs for runtime detection and resolution of feature interactions in SOC. This paper investigates the detection of feature interactions in web services at runtime and proposes ESTRIPs, an extended STRIPS operation to ensure conflict-free services are identified to populate business processes, using a combination of OWL-S, SWRL and runtime data extracted from SOAP messages. First, we define the feature interaction problem in business process during their execution and then introduce the ESTRIPS method. The implementation of a prototype is illustrated and a real world scenario shows the plausibility of our method for detecting feature interactions in business processes.

Abstract-Web services are developed independently and deployed in a distributed environment, new service can be obtained by composing existing ones. The rapid introduction of new services also results in undesirable interactions between services. These conflicts are not mismatches of interfaces, but are usually based on the data in the executing instance and therefore runtime management of conflicts in Web services should be considered. We study the problem from the perspective of user's revenue, and propose an online approach to resolve conflicts is proposed 1 .
