Abstract:
While client/server integrations may be loosely coupled so that the evolution of the service endpoints occurs with minimal impact on backward compatibility, installing and configuring application upgrades to take advantage of new application functionality is still painful for customers and involves manual work by administrators. Coordinating changes in version between client and server has traditionally been done using either a central registry or through manual configuration, both of which can be error prone. The authors propose that clients and servers be aware of the versions they consume and provide and that they coordinate between themselves to adapt dynamically to new versions.
