CD-JRA-1.1.6 SBA engineering principles comprehensively exploiting HCI and Contextual Knowledge

In this deliverable, we present the research that has been performed in the last year around the S-Cube life-cycle and some related service engineering aspects. Some of the presented contributions validate and extend the S-Cube life-cycle and integrate it with new knowledge about user tasks, inherited from the HCI literature, and context. A special attention is also posed to the problem of service evolution. The various facets of this evolution are considered and a formal framework that allows a definition of service compatibility is provided. A formal framework is also used as the basis for an approach that supports the design and runtime self-adaptation of SBAs. As one of the main goals of industry is to reuse their assets in order not to lose their investments, an important issue for the practical adoption of SBAs is to understand how migration from traditional to SBA systems can be achieved. In this deliverable we present a first step toward a systematization of this field.
