SALmon A Service Modeling Language and Monitoring Engine

To be able to monitor complex services and examine their properties we need a modeling language that can express them in an efficient manner. As telecom operators deploy and sell increasingly complex services the need to monitor these services increases. We propose a novel domain specific language called SALmon, which allows for efficient representation of service models, together with a computational engine for evaluation of service models. This working prototype allows us to perform experiments with full scale service models, and proves to be a good trade-off between simplicity and expressive power.
