Title
Diversity in SOA as a Pattern: Business Effects and Potentials
Description
- Diversity is about aggregating multiple outputs of functionally-equivalent services.
- This yields better and more reliable results.
- Other examples include: virus scanning, weather forecasting, profitability projection, trend estimation, web search, content filtering .. etc.
- Why now?
- Alternatives are being created by competing companies
- In a SOA, parallel execution is already implemented
- Categorization and aggregation are facilitated by Semantics, and aggregation can be weighted based on individual preferences
- Diversity is guaranteed by open innovation
- A theoretical study of effects and potential ending with a service design pattern and a small prototype is needed
