Research Content & Progress:
Aiming at the challenge of effective and flexible service composition and coordination for resource sharing and business integration in the Internet environment, this project will conduct researches towards a systematic method of Service-Oriented Computation, featuring independent service development, flexible service composition and coordination, dynamic system evolution, and trusted system operation. Based on the investigators’ previous work on software agents, software services and software coordination, the efforts will be focused on an open software service model and its corresponding coordination mechanism that support effective service discovery, structured composition of loosely coupled services, dependable business integration and automatic system evolution. Expected progresses include multi-dimensional service decoupling, service context modeling, probing and fusion, automatic service discovery and composition, autonomic system reconfiguration, service-oriented transaction processing, and trust-based dependability controlling, etc.
