TAPAS Architecture

From TAPAS Wiki

To meet the general properties defined in Section 2, the TINA architecture principle is followed. The TAPAS service framework has

• a functionality architecture dimension (or a service architecture).
• a computing architecture dimension (or a computing architecture) and

Service and Computing Architecture

The service architecture shows the structure of services and service components. The computing architecture is a generic architecture for the specification and execution of any service. These architectures are not independent, and they can also be considered as architectures at different abstraction layers. The service architecture, however, has focus on the service functionality independent of implementation, and the computing architecture has focus on the modeling of functionality with respect to implementation, but independent of the nature of the service functionality. The properties of the services are not independent of the properties of the computing architecture. The properties of the computing architecture are the fundament for the creation of services with needed adaptable networking services properties. The resulting properties, however, are the result of the combination of the properties of the computing architecture and the structure and the functionality of the service architecture. So the core functional properties are realized by a mixture of the features and concepts of the computing architecture and the functionality of the service architecture.
