Distributed software systems are characterized by increasing autonomy. They often have the capability to sense the environment and react to it, discover the presence of other systems and take advantage of their services, adapt and re-configure themselves in accordance with the internal as well as the global state. Testing this kind of systems is challenging, and systematic and automated approaches...
The UNICORE grid system provides a seamless, secure and intuitive access to distributed grid resources. In recent years, UNICORE 5 is used as a well-tested grid middleware system in production grids (e.g. DEISA, D-Grid) and at many supercomputer centers world-wide. Beyond this production usage, UNICORE serves as a solid basis in many European and International research projects and business scenarios...
The increasing ubiquity of mobile embedded systems has been matched by the evolution of a variety of wireless network standards and technologies. The major constraints of wireless embedded systems are limitations of communication bandwidth, processing capabilities, and battery power. Remote wireless embedded systems often act as sensors, which provide data to a certain community. The exchange of data...
This is an introduction to the proceedings of the MWS 2007 workshop held at EDOC 2007. It first explains the motivation for and background of the workshop. Then, it contains a short description of the keynote, each long and short peer-reviewed paper, and the discussion session "impact of various execution environments on middleware for web services". After the closing statements, MWS 2007...
We developed a quality of service (QoS) management system to support service level management (SLM) for global enterprise services. The QoS management system is integrated with one of our enterprise services in a preproduction system, an identical system as the production system but in a test environment. Lab experiments showed that our integrated solution helps global enterprise services to better...
In this paper we discuss the use cases for monitoring of Web services for compliance with policies and service level agreements. In particular, the quality of service associated with Web service interactions and its monitoring rely on the proper use by both parties of related Web service protocols. This monitoring is best served by an event-centric model and an extensible scripting language, such...
