| Abstract |
Service-oriented peer-to-peer architectures aim at supporting application
scenarios of dispersed collaborating groups in which the participating users
are capable of providing and consuming local resources in terms of peer services.
From a conceptual perspective, service-oriented peer-to-peer architectures
adopt relevant concepts of two well-established state-of-the-art software architectural
styles, namely service-oriented architectures (also known as SOA) and peer-to-peer
architectures (P2P). One major argumentation of this thesis is that the adoption
of end-user adaptability (or tailorability) concepts is of major importance
for the successful deployment of service-oriented peer-to-peer architectures
that support user collaboration. Since tailorability concepts have so far not
been analyzed for both peer-to-peer and service-oriented architectures, no
relevant models exist that could serve as a tailorability model for service-oriented
peer-to-peer architectures. more... |
