Building large systems by composing reusable services is not a new idea, it is at least 25 years old. Still, only recently the scenario of dynamic interchangeable services that are consumed via public networks is becoming reality. Following the Software as a Service (Saas) paradigm, an increasing number of complex applications is offered as a service that themselves can be used composed for building even larger and more complex applications. This will lead to situations in which users are likely to unknowingly consume services in a dynamic and ad hoc manner.
Leaving the rather static (and mostly on-premise) service composition scenarios of the past 25 years behind us, dynamic service compositions, have not only the potential to transform the software industry from a business perspective, they also requires new approaches for addressing the security, trustworthiness needs of users.
The EU FP7 project Aniketos develops new technology, methods, tools and security services that support the design-time creation and run-time dynamic behaviour of dynamic service compositions, addressing service developers, service providers and service end users.
In this talk, we will motivate several security and trustworthiness requirements that occur in dynamic service compositions and discuss the solutions developed within the project Aniketos. Based on our experiences, we will discuss open research challenges and potential opportunities for potential opportunities for applying type systems.
