Handbook of Research on Service-Oriented Systems and Non-Functional Properties: Future Directions Stephan Reiff-Marganiec Editor

Services and service oriented computing have emerged and matured over the last decade, bringing with them a number of available services that are selected by users and developers and composed into larger applications. The Handbook of Research on Service-Oriented Systems and Non-Functional Properties: Future Directions unites different approaches and methods used to describe, map, and use non-functional properties and service level agreements. This handbook, which will be useful for both industry and academia, provides an overview of existing research and also sets clear directions for future work.
