Towards robustness and self-organization of ESB-based solutions using service life-cycle management. In 40th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, IECON. Sheraton Hotel DallasDallas, United States. p.4916-4921http://hdl.handle.net/10198/13856Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is a middleware infra-structure that provides a way to integrate loosely-coupled heterogeneous software applications based on the services principles. The life-cycle management of services in such environments is a critical issue for the component’s reuse, maintenance and operation. This paper introduces a service life-cycle management module that extends the traditional functionalities with advanced monitoring and data analytics to contribute for the robustness, reliability and self-organization of networks of clusters based on ESB platforms. The realization of this module was embedded in the JBoss ESB, considering a sniffer mechanism to collect the service messages crossing the bus and a Liferay portal to display relevant information related to the services’ health.engApplication programsIndustrial electronicsMiddlewareService lifeconference object10.1109/IECON.2014.7049246
