Description: |
Web services, as programmatically accessible components over the Web, have gain a wide adoption in the implementation and integration of application in companies. Currently, one hot research issue is to include as a part of service descriptions not only the declaration of its operations, but also description of its behaviour. This latter description is called service protocols. We have a developed an approach that discovers service protocols from information in service execution logs (that contains information exchanged between services). Due to success of this project, it has been requested to be integrated in the ProM (http://prom.sourceforge.net/) toolset, which is a framework for approaches for behavioral model discovery from logs. We need an enthusiastic and diligent student who is eager to explore this exciting new area, and is interested in GUI development and involvement in a world-class research and development project. You will be working in a friendly team of researchers comprising of a professor and senior researchers. Would you need more information, do not hesitate to contact Prof. Boualem Benatallah (boualem@cse) or Hamid Motahari (hamidm@cse). No prior knowledge of Web services is required but familiarity with Eclipse platform is an advantage. |
