Abstract
The concept of mediation has recently been recognized as an important component of service-oriented architectures. The overall process of mediation is commonly split into design-time, preparing the ground to enable semantic mediation and run-time, actually doing it. Typically, a mediator is seen as a coarse grained black box component hiding its internals. Our proposal defines the runtime phase of mediation as a dynamic process of a set of well defined components. The benefits of such a decomposition include component reuse and assembling of different combinations, development process improvement and conformance to the service paradigm. Our approach is evaluated in the context of the European @neurIST project.
