Abstract Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) enable the reuse and substitution of
software services to develop highly flexible software systems. To benefit from the growing …

In the future vision of software engineering, services from world-wide markets are composed
automated in order to build custom-made systems. Supporting such scenarios requires an …

The vision of automatic service composition is to automatically combine single services to a
software solution that satisfies certain requirements. Comprehensive service specifications …

In the Semantic (Web) Services area, services are considered black boxes with a semantic
description of their interfaces as to allow for precise service selection and configuration. The …

Upcoming interlinked embedded systems will be confronted with unexpectedly changing
environments, which makes online adaptation without manual interference necessary. There …

There are a huge number of scientific papers and reports intended for practitioners, not
forgetting whole books and websites, presenting modelling methods in the field of software …

In software markets of the future, customer-specific software will be developed on demand
based on distributed software and hardware services. Based on a customer-specific request …

This paper is concerned with the discrete combinatorial optimization problem. A novel set-
based differential evolution (SBDE) algorithm for traveling salesman problem (TSP) is …

The true essence of service-oriented computing is the realization of software development
based on services that are composed to service-oriented architectures (SOA). In recent …

For upcoming Cyber Physical Systems with a high need of adaptation to changing
environments an appropriate programming approach is needed. In this paper we argue that …
