Towards an Autonomic Service Oriented Architecture in Computational Engineering Framework

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) technology enables
composition of large and complex computational units
out of the available atomic services. Implementation of
SOA brings about challenges which include service
discovery, service interaction, service composition,
robustness, quality of service, security, etc. These
challenges are mainly due to the dynamic nature of SOA.
SOA may often need to dynamically organizing and reorganizing
its topologies of interactions between the
services due to unpredictable events, such as crashes or
network problems, which will cause services
unavailability. The complexity and dynamism of the
current global network system require architecture that
capable of autonomously changing its structure and
functionality to meet dynamic changes in the
requirements and environment with little human
intervention. In this paper, we elaborate the idea of
adapting the autonomic computing paradigm into SOA in
order to meet those challenges, and we present a case
study of the idea in computational engineering
