Collaboration Policy Generation in Dynamic Collaborative SOA

Governance by policies is an important feature in service-oriented architecture (SOA). This paper introduces a collaboration policy generation technique to govern dynamic collaboration in SOA systems. Dynamic collaboration allows two parties not knowing each other establish their collaboration protocol at runtime. Traditional SOA allows parties to collaborate but with a known collaboration protocol before execution. In dynamic collaboration, as collaboration protocols will be negotiated and determined at runtime, policies need to be generated at runtime to manage the interaction. This paper presents the concepts, architecture, and illustrative examples that demonstrate the dynamic collaboration policy generation technique
