Choreographing services over mobile devices

Abstract

Owing to the proliferation of web services, service oriented architecture (SOA) is widely acknowledged as an ideal paradigm for both enterprise applications and compute intensive scientific processes. In todays world, the present scenario of conducting business has found a new inclination towards the Mobile Device. Mobile devices, however, are constrained by battery power, processing capability, availability and network outages. Achieving service composition in such dynamic environment is challenging. In this paper, we propose a technique inspired by Electromagnetism in Physics to enact service choreography over mobile devices. The focus of the work is to minimize the waiting time and to balance load between services of a similar kind, thereby preserving battery power. The technique is validated through a real prototype. We prove the model minimized battery consumption and achieved a reduction in the waiting time. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014.
