Abstract:
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) provides a distributed system framework where individual reusable functionality is packaged as a collection of interoperable services. SOA systems require an infrastructure which allows different applications to exchange data with one another as business processes of loosely-coupled, platform-independent services. Using SOA, system builders can focus more on the high level QoS and accountability, rather than the low level connection and delivery.
In this talk, we review the distributed computing models of SOA.  We present our work on service accountability which can be used to make services more manageable and trustworthy in supporting distributed computing models.
