Towards Composition Management for Component-based Peer-to-Peer Architectures

AbstractRecent peer-to-peer architectures do not fulfill the idea of a service-oriented architecture to allow the flexible composition of services towards concrete applications. This can be justified by the absence of flexible notations for the composition of services that incorporate the dynamic nature exposed by peer-to-peer architectures. In this work, the peer-to-peer architecture DeEvolve is presented that provides novel ways for the composition of services including the handling of exceptions such as the failure of peers. The intention of this approach is to facilitate even less-skilled end-users to compose and to maintain service-oriented applications
