Performance Evaluation of Program Translation in Service-Oriented Architectures

Majority of service-oriented applications are developed by using XML-based languages for process-oriented service composition. Efficient translation of service composition process descriptions into executable code is a prerequisite for efficient execution of applications in service-oriented environments. In this paper, we present performance evaluation of translation of service-oriented applications based on process-oriented service composition. The composition logic of each test application is described in CL (coopetition language) language. CL language is a compact process-description language based on XML, BPEL4WS, and WSDL specifications. We separately evaluate the performance of two processes, CL language analysis and executable code synthesis. The results presented in this paper provide insight into typical resource requirements for translation of applications based on service-oriented architecture
