Abstract
WS-Policy4MASC is an XML language for specification of policies for run-time Web service management. Among its original contributions is specification of diverse business values (e.g., profit, customer satisfaction) and control strategies maximizing different business values. While it was originally developed for the MASC (Manageable and Adaptable Service Compositions) middleware, it can also be used in a broader context of autonomic service-oriented computing. We discuss our research on using WS-Policy4MASC in the Adaptive Server Framework (ASF), which supports composing adaptive applications on Java and .NET platforms. WS-Policy4MASC enriches ASF with policy definition semantics and enables complex policy management. The combination of WS-Policy4MASC and ASF forms a step towards business-driven autonomic management of service-oriented systems.
