Abstract:
We propose an activity service as a component in cloud computing with the particular novelty that we base this service on the well-defined and proven semantics of Active Database Management Systems (Active DBMS). In addition, we utilize well-known principles of service oriented architectures. Furthermore we aim to provide an integration with a cloud service mediation component to automatically react to changes occurring in the cloud environment and in this way to implement agility and self management of cloud applications. As contribution of this paper we provide the high-level design of this activity service. This includes architecture, core interfaces and a semantically well-defined rule and execution model, based on extended Active DBMS semantics.
