Performance and Dependability in Service Computing: Concepts, Techniques and Research Directions (Premier Reference Source) 1. utgave

When deployed as infrastructure components of real-time business processes, service computing applications we rely on for our daily activities elicit the proper addressing of performance and dependability issues. While recent developments in service-oriented architectures have come a long way in many aspects, ranging from semantics and ontologies to frameworks and design processes, performance and dependability remains a research demanding field.

Performance and Dependability in Service Computing: Concepts, Techniques and Research Directions highlights current technological trends and related research issues in dedicated chapters without restricting their scope. This book focuses on performance and dependability issues associated with service computing and these two complementary aspects, which include concerns of quality of service (QoS), real-time constraints, security, reliability and other important requirements when it comes to integrating services into real-world business processes and critical applications.
