Abstract

Web Services (WSs) correspond to conceptualentities with well defined interfaces published bydifferent organizations. For example, with businesses,a WS might correspond to a business process to beinvoked by other WSs and Internet applications. Toincrease availability of a WS, an organization mightreplicate it across different nodes. This study focuseson data intensive applications that (a) expose aconceptual entity as a Web Service (WS) and (b)disperse copies of their WSs across the nodes of adistributed environment to enhance both performanceand availability. We describe the design andimplementation of a Dependable Web services (DeW)framework to realize physical-location-independence.Physical-location-independence means a plan willexecute as long as a copy of its referenced WSs isavailable. This concept enables the client proxy objectsto continue operation in the presence of both failuresand WS migrations that balance system load.
