developing rule enhanced dynamic virtual enterprise integration frameworks
Computer and Information Technology, 2008Co-Authors: Gang Chen, Jing Bing Zhang, Zhonghua Yang, David ChenAbstract:This paper considers a Service-oriented architecture for enterprise integration and collaboration using semantic Web Service technologies. A hierarchically-structured software system has been designed and developed in order to address the challenge of dynamic Service composition. In comparison with existing Service composers, the description of each Web Service in our system is enhanced with domain-specific semantics and the essential business logic behind the Service Interface is further described and processed via the business rules technology. A PC manufacturing prototyping system is explored in this paper to demonstrate the practicality of our Service composition system.

dynamic virtual enterprise integration via business rule enhanced semantic Service composition framework
Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications, 2008Co-Authors: Gang Chen, Jing Bing Zhang, Zhonghua Yang, David ChenAbstract:Effective collaboration is crucial to the success of collaborative virtual enterprise (CVE), an emerging business paradigm driven by the increasing trend of globalization. In this paper, we adopt a Service-oriented architecture for enterprise integration and collaboration based on Web Service standards. In order to tackle the technical challenge associated with the dynamic formation of business workflows, a Service composition framework is presented and analyzed in this paper. Comparing with existing composition systems, our framework enjoys two major improvements: (1) the description of each Web Service is enhanced with rule-based modeling of the essential business logic behind the Service Interface; and (2) the divide-and-conquer strategy is explored in our framework to handle complex Service composition tasks through a hierarchical composition architecture. A PC manufacturing prototyping system further presents a concrete demonstration of our framework in practical applications.

an Interface theory for Service oriented design
Theoretical Computer Science, 2013Co-Authors: Jose Luiz Fiadeiro, Antonia LopesAbstract:We put forward an Interface and component algebra through which we characterise fundamental structures that support Service-oriented design independently of the specific formalisms that may be adopted to provide models for languages or analysis tools. We view Services as an Interface mechanism that can be superposed over a component infrastructure, what is sometimes referred to as a 'Service overlay'. The component algebra consists of networks of processes that interact asynchronously through communication channels. A Service Interface offers properties to potential clients and requires properties of external Services that, at run time, may need to be discovered and bound to the orchestration of the Service. We define what it means for an asynchronous relational net to orchestrate a Service Interface and prove a number of compositionality results that relate the operations of both algebras. One of the major results of the paper is the characterisation of a sub-class of asynchronous relational nets over which we can guarantee that, when binding, through their Interfaces, a client and a supplier Service, the composition of the orchestrations of the two Services is consistent, i.e., both Services can work together as interconnected.

an Interface theory for Service oriented design
Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering, 2011Co-Authors: Jose Luiz Fiadeiro, Antonia LopesAbstract:We revisit the notions of Interface and component algebra proposed by de Alfaro and Henzinger in [7] for component-based design and put forward elements of a corresponding Interface theory for Service-oriented design.We view Services as a layer that can be added over a component infrastructure and propose a notion of Service Interface for a component algebra that is an asynchronous version of relational nets adapted to SCA (the Service Component Architecture developed by the Open Service-Oriented Architecture collaboration).
