Composite Design Pattern for Feature Oriented Service Injection and Composition of Web Services for Distributed Computing Systems with Service Oriented Architecture
This work addresses service composition challenges in distributed computing with SOA, but it appears incremental as it combines existing patterns and technologies without demonstrating broad impact.
The paper tackles the problem of service invocation and composition in self-adaptive distributed systems by amalgamating Visitor and Case-Based Reasoning design patterns with Feature-Oriented Programming and JWS technologies, resulting in a proposed composite design pattern for more flexible and synergistic software architectures.
With the advent of newly introduced programming models like Feature-Oriented Programming (FOP), we feel that it will be more flexible to include the new service invocation function into the service providing server as a Feature Module for the self-adaptive distributed systems. A composite design patterns shows a synergy that makes the composition more than just the sum of its parts which leads to ready-made software architectures. In this paper we describe the amalgamation of Visitor and Case-Based Reasoning Design Patterns to the development of the Service Invocation and Web Services Composition through SOA with the help of JWS technologies and FOP. As far as we know, there are no studies on composition of design patterns for self adaptive distributed computing domain. We have provided with the sample code developed for the application and simple UML class diagram is used to describe the architecture.
