RESTful services on the Web expose information through retrievable resource representations that represent self-describing descriptions of resources, and through the way how these resources are interlinked through the hyperlinks that can be…

Microservice-based architectures enable different aspects of web applications to be created and updated independently, even after deployment. Associated technologies such as service mesh provide application-level fault resilience through…

Enterprise software systems are increasingly integrating with diverse services to meet expanding business demands. Testing these highly interconnected systems presents a challenge due to the need for access to the connected services.…

Rules could be an information extraction (IE) default option, compared to ML and LLMs in terms of sustainability, transferability, interpretability, and development burden. We suggest a sustainable and combined use of rules and ML as an IE…

The present article introduces a reference framework for discussing resilience of computational systems. Rather than a property that may or may not be exhibited by a system, resilience is interpreted here as the emerging result of a dynamic…

Technologies for composition of loosely-coupled web services in a modular and flexible way are in high demand today. On the one hand, the services must be flexible enough to be reused in a variety of contexts. On the other hand, they must…

Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the de facto standard for requirements modeling and system design. UML as a visual language can tremendously help customers, project managers, and developers to specify the requirements of a target system.…

A common way of exposing functionality in contemporary systems is by providing a Web-API based on the REST API architectural guidelines. To describe REST APIs, the industry standard is currently OpenAPI-specifications. Test generation and…

Language agents increasingly require persistent worlds in which they can act, remember, and learn. Existing approaches sit at two extremes: conventional web frameworks provide reliable but fixed contexts backed by databases, while fully…

Web services is a collection of technologies that client-server model use also to exchange information. The Web services uses XML as the message wrapper to exchange information but the XML is always verbose and hence incurs latency in the…

This paper addresses the problem of reaching consensus under input saturation and intermittent communication, which can hinder the convergence of the system. We propose a method that translates the consensus into an equivalent stability…

In recent years, Web services are becoming more and more intelligent (e.g., in understanding user preferences) thanks to the integration of components that rely on Machine Learning (ML). Before users can interact (inference phase) with an…

A system s behavior is typically specified through models such as state diagrams that describe how the system should behave. According to researchers, it is not clear what a state actually represents regarding the system to be modeled.…

Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) is a software engineering methodology focusing on models as primary artifacts. In the last years, the emergence of Web technologies has led to the development of Web-based modeling tools and model-based…

Recent developments in the world of services on the Web show that both the number of available Web APIs as well as the applications built on top is constantly increasing. This trend is commonly attributed to the wide adoption of the REST…

Active inference helps us simulate adaptive behavior and decision-making in biological and artificial agents. Building on our previous work exploring the relationship between active inference, well-being, resilience, and sustainability, we…

In many reinforcement learning (RL) applications, we want policies that reach desired states and then keep the controlled system within an acceptable region around the desired states over an indefinite period of time. This latter objective…

Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) has emerged in the last years as a powerful methodology to specify testable and executable user requirements through stories and scenarios. With the support of external testing frameworks, BDD stories can…

Modern applications are increasingly driven by Machine Learning (ML) models whose non-deterministic behavior is affecting the entire application life cycle from design to operation. The pervasive adoption of ML is urgently calling for…

The openness and accessibility of the Web has contributed greatly to its worldwide adoption. Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) are used for resource identification on the Web. A resource on the Web can be described in many ways, which…
