  • Abstract: This paper discusses a goal-based approach for the engineering of capacity-driven Web services. In this approach, goals are established to first, define the roles that these Web services will play in implementing business applications, second, frame the requirements that will be put on these Web services, and third, identify the processes in terms of business logics that these Web services will carry out. Because of the nature of capacity-driven Web services compared with regular (i.e. mono-capacity) Web services, their engineering in terms of design, development, and deployment takes place in a different way. A Web service that is empowered with several capacities, which are basically separate groups of operations to execute, has to choose one capacity for triggering at run-time. To this end, the Web service takes into account different types of requirements like data and privacy that are put on each capacity that empowers this Web service.

Abstract: Abstract: This paper discusses a goal-based approach for the engineering of capacity-driven Web services. In this approach, goals are established to first, define the roles that these Web services will play in implementing business applications, second, frame the requirements that will be put on these Web services, and third, identify the processes in terms of business logics that these Web services will carry out. Because of the nature of capacity-driven Web services compared with regular (i.e. mono-capacity) Web services, their engineering in terms of design, development, and deployment takes place in a different way. A Web service that is empowered with several capacities, which are basically separate groups of operations to execute, has to choose one capacity for triggering at run-time. To this end, the Web service takes into account different types of requirements like data and privacy that are put on each capacity that empowers this Web service.

    • These requirements make Web services sensible to context.

    • Additional requirements can be added such as security. This requirement is about the protection measures that are put in place such as encryption protocol and length of private keys.

    • In Figure 2, Restrict/[Cap] means that requirements are here to restrict the capacity that a Web service can select. And, Call(min,max) means the minimum and maximum times that a capacity can be called by another capacity; for example, Call(0,0) means that a capacity is never called by any other capacity; this applies to public capacities, only. Contrarily, private capacities could be either called or never called Call(0,n).

    • State skipping could be used to implement state deletion if needed.

    • In Figure 5, Restrict/[Comp] means that requirements are here to restrict the composition scenarios in which a Web service could take part.
