Abstract:
The internet is evolving from a global information network to an environment that offers services for all areas of life and business, such as virtual insurance, online banking, or entertainment. Such services are created frequently during runtime by service providers according to specific user needs and they operate in a network and service environment that provides unified access to virtualized resources. Since the number of available services increases rapidly, it is hard for a client to find appropriate services and to compose them to useful systems. Additionally, clients may use the services in changing situations and the set of appropriate services and their binding should change accordingly to meet the users’ needs in every situation. In this article, we present an approach which enables the automatic context-aware binding of services during runtime to so called dynamic adaptive systems. For this purpose, we introduce an approach for checking semantical compatibility of services followed by an integrated approach for usageaware service binding. Finally, we present our infrastructure DAiSI which provides an integrated implementation of both aspects. DAiSI has been applied to an application prototype which is also presented in this article and which validates the applicability of the presented solutions.
