Chemical Programming for Adaptation in Service-Based Applications

Service-Based Applications (SBAs) life-cycle, i.e. their design, development, maintenance and deployment, presents several challenging problems concerning their management in open and heterogeneous environments they operate in. The possibility to adopt nature-inspired methodologies to support adaptation, at the service infrastructure level, when selecting services that compose an SBA is presented in this contribution according to the research path followed in the S-Cube project, reporting the obtained results. © 2012 IEEE.
