Design of an Autonomic Services Oriented Architecture

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a paradigm for
organizing and utilizing distributed services as the basic
construct to produce the desired results for service consumers.
Large and complex computational units can be composed out of
the available services. As the complexity and dynamism of the
current global network systems grow significantly, the service
architecture will also need to grow. It should be capable of
autonomously changing its structure and functionality to meet
dynamic changes in the requirements and environment with little
human intervention. It needs to dynamically (re)organize the
interactions between the services due to unpredictable events,
such as crashes or network problems, which could cause services
unavailability. In this paper, we elaborate the design of an
autonomic SOA and implementation model of the autonomic
SOA in computational engineering framework as a case study.
