Abstract
Service-oriented computing (SOC) is emerging as a new approach to developing extensible computing systems, including distributed systems. This new paradigm is based on the interoperability and the loose coupling among the computing elements involved. The loose coupling property among the computing elements allows for the development of adaptive systems, however, it also introduces the possibilities for failures to occur at various levels. In this chapter, we investigate the various dependability issues involved in service-oriented computing. Specifically, we look at the various faults that can occur in the system. We then look at various dependability approaches to handle the faults identified. We further propose how to estimate the dependability of an application. We conclude by providing two case studies to highlight aspects of dependability in service-oriented computing.
