Abstract:
The service oriented approach is a paradigm allowing the introduction of dynamicity in developments. If there are many advantages with this approach, there are also some new problems associated to service disappearance. The particular case of service substitution is often studied and many propositions exist. However, proposed solutions are mainly server-side and often in the context of web-services. In this paper, we propose a client side API-based approach to allow service substitution without any restart of the client and without any assumption on external services. Our proposition is based on a transactional approach, defined to automatically and dynamically substitute services, by preserving the current run and collected data.
