This paper introduces the multiagent protocols (MAP) Web service choreography language
and demonstrates how service choreographies can be specified, verified, and enacted with …

As the number of services and the size of data involved in workflows increases, centralised
orchestration techniques are reaching the limits of scalability. In the classic orchestration …

In this paper, we consider the problem of data sharing in scientific workflows running on the
cloud. We present the design and evaluation of a peer-to-peer approach to help solve this …

Horizontal and vertical scalability have been widely studied in the context of computational
resources. However, with the exponential growth in the number of connected objects …

Composing services into service-based systems requires the design of coordination logic,
which describes all service interactions realizing the composition. Coordination can be …

In scientific collaboration platforms such as caGrid, workflow-as-a-service is a useful concept
for various reasons, such as easy reuse of workflows, access to remote resources, security …

Despite recent advances in many real-time and workflow management systems (WFMS),
event-handling is still a manual or semi-automated task. The integration of automated event …

A rich cloud ecosystem is unfolding with clouds emerging to provide platforms and services
of many shapes and sizes. We speculate that future network applications may wish to utilize …

As computer systems grow in size and complexity, their integration, while a necessity,
becomes more difficult. Service oriented architectures and middleware systems in general …

When orchestrating highly distributed and data-intensive Web service workflows the
geographical placement of the orchestration engine can greatly affect the overall …
