Self-Adaptation of Service Bindings Based on Formal Concept Analysis

Service-oriented computing has been successfully adopted by the industry. This raises however new challenges, especially with respect to service selection and ranking in dynamic environments. Current solutions for service selection and ranking lack flexibility to handle dynamic environments. This paper proposes to integrate algorithms based on the Formal Concept Analysis theory to extend service-oriented component models. This solution improves the self-adaptation of service-oriented component models. The resulting framework externalizes service selection and ranking. Results are integrated in the Apache Felix iPOJO component model.
