IPA Lentedagen on Service-oriented Computing

Conference center Kapellerput, Heeze,
April 3-5, 2007

The IPA Lentedagen are an annual multi-day event, dedicated to a specific theme of current interest to the research community of IPA. This year's Lentedagen are dedicated to Service-oriented Computing.

Service-oriented Computing

Service-oriented Computing (SoC) is an emerging paradigm for distributed computing that has evolved from object-orientation and component-based software engineering. In service-oriented computing, applications are constructed from autonomous computational elements that offer a "service" over a network (usually internet). The promise of rapid development of distributed applications in heterogeneous environments (across organisations and platforms) has led industry to embrace the paradigm, and major providers of middleware have committed themselves to fulfilling this promise.

In the area of software engineering, a leading theme in IPA research is compositionality: obtaining larger systems from smaller ones by means of well-understood composition rules. It is from this perspective that the Lentedagen will address service-oriented computing, looking at the research issues involved in constructing predictable and dependable applications out of services. Many issues that are familiar from reseach into previous paradigms for distributed computing reappear, but in a new guise since in developing applications one has no knowledge of (or access to) the internal structure of the services used, and no control over the way in which they are provided. In addition there are new questions, because of the emphasis on dynamic (even run-time) composition of services into applications and the (autonomous) adaptation of applications to changes in requirements or context.

The Lentedagen aim to provide an overview of research on service-oriented computing in and around IPA, and connect this to developments in industry. The program for the Lentedagen is composed by Farhad Arbab (CWI/UL), Wil van der Aalst (TU/e) and Mike Papazoglou (UvT). All speakers and talks are now confirmed, this webpage will be updated with titles and abstacts as they become available.
