Synthesizing Cost-Minimal Partners for Services
[chapter]
2013
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We synthesize a cost-minimal partner for a given service based on additional behaviorial constraints. ...
Beside an adapter, a partner could be a configurator or serve as an ingredient in solutions for discovery and substitution. ...
We synthesize a cost-minimal partner for a given service N in two steps: First, we compute the minimal cost bound of N , second, we synthesize a partner for N based thereon. ...
