'A View-Based Approach to Quality of Service Modelling in Service-Oriented Enterprise Systems by Audrone Lupeikiene, Jolanta Miliauskaite and Albertas Caplinskas, LT
This document proposes a view-based framework to model quality of service (QoS) in service-oriented enterprise systems. It notes that current QoS modeling is too technology-focused and ignores other perspectives like business needs. The research aims to balance viewpoints by constructing multiple views of QoS, modeling each as interacting goals, and using techniques like i* modeling to balance conflicts across views. This holistic approach would provide a more comprehensive QoS model for controlled enterprise systems compared to open internet-based service-oriented architectures.

Service Oriented Architecture.
SOA is a style of architecting applications in such a way that they are composed of discrete software agents that have simple, well defined interfaces and are orchestrated through a loose coupling to perform a required function.
METRIC-BASED FRAMEWORK FOR TESTING & EVALUATION OF SERVICE-ORIENTED SYSTEMijseajournal
The increase in the significance of service orientation in system development is accelerating with an increase in demand for qualitative and cost-effective systems. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is one of the established structural designs used for developing and implementing flexible, reusable, rapid and low-cost service-oriented systems. The established testing and evaluation methods don’t work well for systems that are made-up of services (service-oriented system). As a result, several testing and evaluation metrics for service-oriented systems were proposed. However, these metrics were created based on preceding software development approaches that offer insufficient focus to service-oriented systems thereby lacking the efficiency to evaluate these systems. Furthermore, Lack of access to source code also frustrates classical mutation-testing approaches, which require seeding the code with errors. This paper discusses different testing and evaluation metrics available for SOS and proposed a theory-grounded framework for testing and evaluation of service-oriented systems with the aim of decreasing cost and increasing the quality of the SOS. Then, the proposed framework is validated theoretically to check its usability and applicability for testing and evaluation of SOS. The results show that the proposed framework is able to decrease cost and increasing the quality of the SOS.
Contemporary research challenges and applications of service oriented archite...Dr. Shahanawaj Ahamad
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is distributed architectural framework that provides service-based
solutions for improving the effectiveness of enterprise’s IT infrastructure. In this framework, technical and
business processes are implemented as services. A service is an independent software application that has been
designed to perform a specific function with emphasis on loose coupling between interacting services and their
components. SOA permits developers to utilize many of the resources from existing services to form the
distributed applications. This study has investigated to highlight the emerging issues of SOA such as service
structures advancement, requirements of evolution for current age applications like mobile-cloud, medical and
mechanism for interoperable operations. The paper also uncovers the practical application domains of SOA. It
has identified research attentions in these domains with detection of issues to carry further research to
overcome constraints in current scenarios.
MULTIVIEW SOA : EXTENDING SOA USING A PRIVATE CLOUD COMPUTING AS SAAS AND DAASijseajournal
This work is based on two major areas, the Multiview Service Oriented Architecture and the combination between the computing cloud and MV-SOA. Thus, it is suggested to extend firstly the service oriented architecture (SOA) into an architecture called MV-SOA by adding two components, the Multiview service generator, whose role is to transform the classic service into Multiview service, and the data base, this component seeks to stock all of consumer service information. It is also suggested to combine the computing cloud and Multiview Service Oriented Architecture MVSOA. To reach such combination, the
MVSOA architecture was taken and we added to the client-side a private cloud in SaaS and DaaS.
BUSINESS SILOS INTEGRATION USING SERVICE ORIENTED ARCHITECTUREIJCSEA Journal
Agile integration satisfies the business agility and provides solutions for maintaining business changes and ensures that the enterprise survives in the current competition. Any business should be robust enough to respond to end user request. Existing traditional enterprise applications are in-capable of integrating with
different business silos lacks to improve the business agility. To address this issue, this paper is about the agile integration of different business silos using “Service Oriented Architecture” and its core technologyenables the business enterprise systems flexible, loosely coupled and improves agility. Enterprise business
systems have to adopt Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) as it promises to help them respond more rapidly to changing business requirements by composing new solutions from existing business services. Here the definition of SOA, its layers and the core technologies have been discussed.

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) removed the gap between software and business. Today, there is a business transformation among enterprises and they adopt a service based information technology (IT) model. So, testing is necessary for SOA based applications. This paper investigates different type of approaches and techniques that address the testing problems of SOA based services. Here we also investigate the differences between SOA and web services and traditional testing and SOA testing. Various testing levels are also discussed in detail. This paper also expresses various testing perspectives, challenges of SOA testing and review the many testing approaches and identify the problems that improve the testability of SOA based services.

In user-centered design and marketing, personas are fictional characters created to represent the different user types that might use a site, brand, or product in a similar way.[1] Marketers may use personas together with market segmentation, where the qualitative personas are constructed to be representative of specific segments. The term persona is used widely in online and technology applications as well as in advertising, where other terms such as pen portraits may also be used.
Personas are useful in considering the goals, desires, and limitations of brand buyers and users in order to help to guide decisions about a service, product or interaction space such as features, interactions, and visual design of a website. Personas may also be used as part of a user-centered design process for designing software and are also considered a part of interaction design (IxD), having been used in industrial design and more recently for online marketing purposes.
A user persona is a representation of the goals and behavior of a hypothesized group of users. In most cases, personas are synthesized from data collected from interviews with users. They are captured in 1–2 page descriptions that include behavior patterns, goals, skills, attitudes, and environment, with a few fictional personal details to make the persona a realistic character. For each product, more than one persona is usually created, but one persona should always be the primary focus for the design.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

SOA
SoEA
Open Internet-wide system. Developed in a
bottom-up manner.
Relatively closed enterprise-wide system
controlled on an enterprise-wide level.
Developed in a top-down manner.
Enterprise service inventory.
Deals with any business services. No ability
either to define global data types or
normalize business services (i.e., to avoid
similar or duplicate bodies of service logic).
Deals with normalized* enterprise business
services (EBS) aligned with the enterprise
business functions and working with global
data types.
Is not purported either to support a
particular business strategy or to implement
predefined business processes.
Is a set of interacting EBSs coordinated
by an enterprise business process. Supports
enterprise’s business strategy and
objectives.
No ability to guide what services are built
how they are built and deployed. No control
over changes of services.
Designed, developed and deployed in
compliance with an enterprise-wide
standards. All changes are under control.
* Normalisation means that each EBS should be designed with the intent to avoid functional overlaps and to reduce the redundancies
in EBSs.

•
•
•
In SOA, includes most of non-functional properties and even characteristics that are
hardly related to quality such as service requestor’s satisfaction or service cost.
Still remains ill-defined and frequently misused concept, but is an important issue
because SOA usefulness depends not only on the results of the executed services, but
also on the properties related to their execution.
In different contexts, refers to different things (software component, web service,
middleware, network, etc.).
In service engineering literature usually emphasizes the technology-oriented issues;
in service science literature mostly emphasizes the quality perceived by users.

13. QoS Problem
• At present, the technology-oriented attitude (a developer’s
point of view) prevails when considering QoS of SOA
services. Other points of view are mostly ignored.
• It is difficult to solve the QoS problem for an open Internetwide SOA system.
• It is possible to solve this problem for SoES in which all
perspectives, at least partly, are under control of an enterprise.
Proposed approach
• To adapt the view reconciliation methodology.
• Motivation: QoS properties to some extent are akin to
software quality requirements.
BSC 2013, Rīga
14. Proposed Solution
• View construction: For each point of view to integrate
perspectives.
• Modeling approach: To represent each view as a set of
interacting each with others (in conflict or in synergy)
weighted quality goals (qualities).
• View balancing: To use weights and kinds of interactions, to
balance different views,
– i.e. to find such the configuration of qualities that the level of
achievement of each quality would be as much as possible acceptable
to each point of view under consideration.
– to adapt i* techniques in combination with an interactive conflict
resolution procedure to balance different views.
BSC 2013, Rīga
15. Conclusions
• At present, QoS modeling techniques are too much technologyoriented.
• It is necessary to balance technology-oriented viewpoint and
the other viewpoints.
• View reconciliation methodology should be adapted to model QoS.
• i* star methodology (in combination with interactive conflict

The monolithic IT systems, namely a Customer Relationship Management system (CRM) and an Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP), are characterized by integrated GUIs, huge functionality and no communication with other systems.
CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is a business strategy aiming to organize and handle the business actions connected to customer relationship through the entire lifecycle of partnership with customers. CRM requires a customer centered business philosophy and a culture supporting effective marketing, sales, and service processes. CRM facilitates processes of managing customers and their orders from opportunity tracking to quotations & order placement, to sales force management, in the interest of improving customer relationship, driving revenue and enhancing service quality.
SCM (Supply Chain Management) is a set of software solutions, internal business practices, and tightly managed trading partner relationships that allow an enterprise to serve its customers more efficiently by better organizing and coordinating internal and partner activities. A key benefit of SCM systems is a capability for providing accurate real-time cost monitoring and planning data. The idea of SCM is to integrate forecasting, planning, and execution capabilities with complete supply chain wide visibility across the supply chain.
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) dates back to Material Require Planning systems (MRP) the first systems to use a computer for planning the material and capacity. As the computer resource continued to add more power, the idea came to integrate the material and capacity resource plan with the financial resources of the organization.

A service inventory is an independently standardized and governed collection of complementary services within a boundary that represents an enterprise or a meaningful segment of an enterprise.
Die Closed world assumption (deutsch: Annahme zur Weltabgeschlossenheit) bei der Modellierung von Sachverhalten (Wissensrepräsentation) sagt aus, dass alles, was nicht explizit als wahr bewiesen werden kann, als falsch bezeichnet wird: Alles, was also nicht modelliert ist, existiert im Modell auch nicht und ist nicht beweisbar, also falsch, das heißt nicht ableitbar. In der Prädikatenlogik gilt diese Annahme nicht.
