Nature-Inspired Self Organizing Service Oriented Architecture : A Proposal

Implementation of Service-Oriented
Computing (SOC) and Service-Oriented Architecture
(SOA) brings about challenges which include service
discovery, service interaction, service composition,
robustness, Quality of Service, security, etc. These
challenges are mainly due to the dynamic nature of SOA.
SOA may often to dynamically organizing and reorganizing
its topologies of interactions between the
services. The dynamic characteristic of SOA is quite
similar with the characteristic of self-organizing system,
in the way that they are able to organize elements
(services in the case of SOA) in order to change their
functions or create new functions on higher levels
(emergence). Therefore, we believe that the dynamic
nature of SOA can benefit from the use of selforganization
primitives found in nature. We propose to
investigate how we can adapt self-organizing systems
and mechanisms found in nature used to ensure robust
SOA. This will be achieved by mapping biological /
nature-inspired self-organizing algorithms and models
into service-oriented architecture.
