The service-oriented architecture (SOA) can greatly improve the collaboration of devices in a
distributed environment. With this architecture, human can be liberated from the …

The number of the services and service oriented systems is continuously increasing. Many
applications depend on them. Therefore, the quality attributes of the employed services are …

Failures during Web service execution may depend on a wide variety of causes. In this
paper we illustrate how, upon faults of a Web application, the faults can be handled by …

The chronicles paradigm has been used to determine fault in dynamic systems, allow
modeling the temporal relationships between observable events to describe the patterns of …

Reliability is one of the key challenges of pervasive systems. Numerous message-oriented
architectures and service discovery protocols have been proposed to support service …

Microservice architecture is the latest trend in the design and development of software
systems based on modularization. In a microservice-based system, each microservice acts …

Fault tolerance is an important capability for SOA-based applications, since it ensures the
dynamic composition of services and improves the dependability of SOA-based …

Modern large-scale service systems are usually deployed with redundant components to
ensure high dependability in distributed and volatile environments. Fault Injection Testing …

Service based systems are intrinsically dynamic as the services deployed by them can be
replaced at runtime. When this happens, the Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that regulate …

Due to the loosely coupled and highly dynamic nature of service-oriented systems, the
actual configuration of such system only fully materializes at runtime, rendering many of the …
