Semantic Interoperability Measure: Template-Based Assurance of Semantic Interoperability in Software Composition (TBASSCO)

Abstract

SIM-TBASSCO (semantic Interoperability Measures: Template-Based Assurance of Semantic Interoperability in Software Composition) addresses a longstanding software engineering goal of assembling software from components. Conventional approaches support composition up to a point, but cannot handle qualitative considerations in composition, such as implementation effort, performance, resource requirements, or reliability. SIM-TBASSCO helps software developers engage in guided, efficient searches and evaluations of the set of alternative system implementation that can be built with the components available to them. It will let developers evaluate components' functional and data equivalence compatibility and find pertinent data conversion mappings. During runtime SIM-TBASSCO helps system administrators monitor and gauge the health of system and enables them to perform dynamic reconfigurations to overcome bottlenecks/faults while preserving design time constraints.
