abstract = {In recent years, many deployment systems have been developed that process
deployment models to automatically provision applications. The main objective
of these systems is to shorten delivery times and to ensure a proper execution
of the deployment process. However, these systems mainly focus on the correct
technical execution of the deployment, but do not check whether the deployed
application is working properly. Especially in DevOps scenarios where
applications are modified frequently, this can quickly lead to broken
deployments, for example, if a wrong component version was specified in the
deployment model that has not been adapted to a new database schema.
Ironically, even hardly noticeable errors in deployment models quickly result
in technically successful deployments, which do not work at all. In this paper,
we tackle these issues. We present a modeling concept that enables developers
to define deployment tests directly along with the deployment model. These
tests are then automatically run by a runtime after deployment to verify that
the application is working properly. To validate the technical feasibility of
the approach, we applied the concept to TOSCA and extended an existing open
source TOSCA runtime.},

abstract = {The Internet of Things is growing rapidly while still missing a universal
operat-ing and management platform for multiple diverse use cases. Such a
platform should provide all necessary functionalities and the underlying
infrastructure for the setup, execution and composition of Smart Services. The
concept of Smart Services enables the connection and integration of
cyber-physical systems (CPS) and technologies (i.e., sensors and actuators)
with business-related applications and services. Therefore, the SmartOrchestra
Platform provides an open and standards-based service platform for the
utilization of public administrative and business-related Smart Services. It
combines the features of an operating plat-form, a marketplace, a broker, and a
notary for a cloud-based operation of Smart Services. Thus, users of
cyber-physical systems are free to choose their control applications, no matter
what device they are using (e.g., smartphone, tablet or personal computer) and
they also become independent of the manufacturers’ software. This will enable
new business opportunities for different stakeholders in the market and allows
flexibly composing Smart Services.},

abstract = {For automating the deployment of applications in cloud environments, a variety
of deployment automation technologies have been developed in recent years.
These technologies enable specifying the desired deployment in the form of
deployment models, which can be automatically executed. However, changing
internal or external conditions often lead to strategical decisions that must
be reflected in all deployment models of a company’s IT. Unfortunately, while
creating such deployment models is difficult, adapting them is even harder as
typically a variety of technologies must be replaced. In this paper, we present
the Split and Match Method that enables splitting a deployment model following
a manually specified distribution on the business layer. The method also
enables automatically deploying the resulting model without the need for a
manual intervention and, thus, significantly eases reflecting strategical
decisions on the technical deployment layer. We present a formalization and
algorithms to automate the steps of the method. Moreover, we validate the
practical feasibility of the presented concepts by a prototype based on the
TOSCA standard and the OpenTOSCA ecosystem.},

vital importance and supported by diverse management technologies. However,
currently there is no systematic knowledge collection that points out
commonalities, capabilities, and differences of these approaches. This paper
aims at identifying common modeling principles employed by technologies to
create automatically executable models that describe the deployment of
applications. We discuss two fundamental approaches for modeling the automated
deployment of applications: imperative procedural models and declarative
models. For these two approaches, we identified (i) basic pattern primitives
and (ii) documented these approaches as patterns that point out frequently
occurring problems in certain contexts including proven modeling solutions. The
introduced patterns foster the understanding of common application deployment
concepts, are validated regarding their occurrence in established
state-of-the-art technologies, and enable the transfer of that knowledge.},

abstract = {With this research we propose the implementation of a overlay restful API for
3D printers to expose these machines to the Internet for utilization within
cloud services. This is to abstract the underlying communication structure and
means for accessing and controlling a 3D printer resource which is performed in
one of three ways. The ®rst method of accessing and controlling a 3D printer
is via a proprietary protocol or a printer driver in Microsoft Windows. The
second method is the control via a USB-serial connection between a controlling
computer and the printer resource. This protocol can either be proprietary or
based on open standards like GCODE (ISO 6983-1:2009). The third method of
control is based on physical storage devices attached to the printer with
machining instructions stored on them. This research excludes the communication
and control means involving proprietary protocols or drivers due complexity
restrictions within the implementation. The approach is designed with
extensibility in mind so that future access to proprietary protocols can be
added to the control API. Printer resources with only the third control method
available are also excluded from this research as they are currently lacking
the capability to be remotely controlled. This work describes the design and
implementation of an abstraction API layer between varying soft- and hardware
components with an extensible architecture for future hard- and software
components for within the domain of Additive Manufacturing (AM).},

discussed in the literature. The state-of-the-art approaches for structural
similarities of process models presume a known subgraph that is searched in a

goal. In this paper we propose an approach to detect reoccurring structures in
a collection of BPMN2.0 process models, without the knowledge of a subgraph to
be searched, and by focusing solely on the structural characteristics of the
process models. The proposed approach deals with the problems of subgraph
isomorphism, frequent pattern discovery and maximum common subgraph
isomorphism, which are mentioned as NP-hard in the literature. In this work we
present a formal model and a novel algorithm for the detection of reoccurring
structures in a collection of BPMN 2.0 process models. We then apply the
algorithm to a collection of 1,806 real-world process models and provide a
quantitative and qualitative analysis of the results.},

abstract = {Recent efforts to standardize a deployment modeling language for cloud
applications resulted in TOSCA. At the same time, the software modeling
standard UML supports architecture modeling from different viewpoints.
Combining these standards from cloud computing and software engineering would
allow engineers to refine UML architectural models into TOSCA deployment models
that enable automatic provisioning of cloud applications. However, this
refinement task is currently carried out manually by recreating TOSCA models
from UML models because a conceptual mapping between the two languages as basis
for an automated translation is missing. In this paper, we exploit cloud
modeling extensions to UML called CAML as the basis for our approach
CAML2TOSCA, which aims at bridging UML and TOSCA. The validation of our
approach shows that UML models can directly be injected into a TOSCA-based
provisioning process. As current UML modeling tools lack cloud-based refinement
support for deployment models, the added value of CAML2TOSCA is emphasized
because it provides the glue between architecture modeling and application
provisioning.},

Computing today. For that purpose, various provisioning automation technologies
have been developed that can be generally categorized into two different
flavors: (i) declarative approaches are based on describing the desired goals
whereas (ii) imperative approaches are used to describe explicit sequences of
low-level tasks. Since modern Cloud-based business applications become more and
more complex, employ a plethora of heterogeneous components and services that
must be wired, and require complex configurations, the two kinds of
technologies have to be integrated to model the provisioning of such
applications. In this paper, we present a process modelling concept that
enables the seamless integration of imperative and declarative provisioning
models and their technologies while preserving the strengths of both flavors.
We validate the technical feasibility of the approach by applying the concept
to the workflow language BPEL and evaluate its features by several criteria.},

This demonstration shows how Vinothek supports automated provisioning of

implement automated provisioning, deployment, and management of applications in
the Cloud. The automation of all these aspects is key for reducing costs.
However, most of these approaches are script-centric and provide proprietary
solutions employing different invocation mechanisms, interfaces, and state
models. Moreover, most Cloud providers offer proprietary Web services or APIs
to be used for provisioning and management purposes. Consequently, it is hard
to create deployment and management plans integrating several of these
approaches. The goal of our work is to come up with an approach for unified
invocation of scripts and services without handling each proprietary interface
separately. A prototype realizes the presented approach in a standards-based
manner using the Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud
Applications (TOSCA).},

in Cloud Computing. The Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud
Applications (TOSCA) supports automating provisioning by two different flavors:
(i) declarative processing is based on interpreting application topology models
by a runtime that infers provisioning logic whereas (ii) imperative processing
employs provisioning plans that explicitly describe the provisioning tasks to
be executed. Both flavors come with benefits and drawbacks. This paper presents
a means to combine both flavors to resolve drawbacks and to profit from
benefits of both worlds: we propose a standards-based approach to generate
provisioning plans based on TOSCA topology models. These provisioning plans are
workflows that can be executed fully automatically and may be customized by
application developers after generation. We prove the technical feasibility of
the approach by an end-to-end open source toolchain and evaluate its
extensibility, performance, and complexity.},

This especially includes the integration of the partner processes into the
organization’s processes. Existing works are able to merge single-instance BPEL
process interactions where each process model is only instantiated once during
choreography execution. However, there exist different interaction scenarios
where one process interacts with several instances of another process and where
the number of instances involved is not known at design time but determined
during runtime of the choreography. In this work we investigate these
interaction scenarios and extend the process consolidation approach in a way
that we can emulate the multi-instance interaction scenarios in the merged

Existing approaches either do not provide enough technical details or do not

are able to discover valuable information, there is no means for seamless
integration. This paper proposes a plugin-based approach and extensible
framework for automated discovery and maintenance of Enterprise Topology

into a unified model. We implemented the proposed approach in a prototype and
applied it to different scenarios. Due to the vital role of discovery plugins
in our approach, we support plugin development with a systematic testing method

new ways of enterprise IT optimization, analysis, and adaptation. Furthermore,
they unlock the full potential of past research, which previously required

help to reduce the onboarding costs for new customers as well as the financial
impact of managing Cloud Services by automating these previously manual tasks.
With the widespread use of such systems, the adoption of a common standard for

reusable and portable applications. TOSCA, a newly published standard by OASIS
with broad industry participation provides this opportunity. Besides the
technical requirements of running and managing applications in the cloud,
non-functional requirements, like cost, security, and environmental issues, are
of special importance when moving towards the automated provisioning and

prototypical implementations of security policies for encrypting databases and
for limiting the geographical location of the Cloud servers. We demonstrate how

can be modeled by using choreographies. When an organization decides to gain
more control about their suppliers and to minimize transaction costs they may
decide to insource these companies. This also requires the integration of the
partner processes into the organization. In previous work we proposed an
approach to merge (consolidate) interacting BPEL process models of different
partners into a single process model by deriving control flow links between the
process models from their interaction specification. In this work we are
detailing this consolidation approach. Thereby, special attention is turned on
extending the consolidation operations in a way that process models with fault
handlers can be merged.},

abstract = {Resource sharing is an important aspect how cost savings in cloud computing are
realized. This is especially important in multi-tenancy settings, where
different tenants share the same resource. This paper presents an approach to
merge two application topologies into one, while on the one hand preserving the
functionality of both applications and on the other hand enabling sharing of
similar components. Previous work has not addressed this due to the lack of
ways to describe topologies of composite applications in a decomposed, formal,
and machine-readable way. New standardization initiatives, such as TOSCA,
provide a way to describe application topologies, which are also portable and
manageable. We propose an approach, realization, and architecture enabling a
functionality-preserving merge of application topologies. To validate our
approach we prototypically implemented and applied it to merge a set of test
cases. All in all, the functional-preserving merge is a method to support the
optimization and migration of existing applications to the cloud, because it
increases resource sharing in the processed application topologies.},

workflow language BPEL, SOAP is used to encode the messages. When complex
messages are exchanged between the processes, this can become costly and time
consuming with respect to the overall execution time of a choreography. In this
work, we suggest three different performance optimization techniques for
workflow engines to reduce the number of message exchanges between the
interacting processes and hence, to decrease the execution times and costs of
the choreographies: intra-engine transport, service request caching, and inline
execution. We describe how these techniques are implemented in a workflow
engine. Performance measurements are carried out to determine the performance
improvements that are achieved with each optimization technique. We further
show that the optimizations also affect the energy consumption of the workflow
engine.},

modeling languages to come up with a strong link to the application topology

Task, TOSCA Script Task, and TOSCA Data Object. Portability is ensured by a
transformation of BPMN4TOSCA to plain BPMN. A prototypical modeling tool

modeling technique. Subprocesses are a common way to enable hierarchical
structuring. Current approaches have a tight view on the syntactical
restrictions of subprocesses and do not investigate different autonomy
properties in detail. This paper fills this gap and broadens the current
subprocess definition to a spectrum of possibilities of subprocess notations.
Thereby, three classifications are introduced: subprocess autonomy, interaction
between parent process and subprocess, and execution of subprocesses.},

control-links between them and the property ``permeability'' stating whether a

typically performed using business activity monitoring technology in an

companies to work together to meet their joint customer demands, there is a
need for monitoring of business processes across organizational boundaries.
Thereby, partners in a choreography have to exchange monitoring data, in order
to enable process tracking and evaluation of process metrics. In this paper, we
describe an event-based monitoring approach based on BPEL4Chor service
choreography descriptions. We show how to define monitoring agreements
specifying events each partner in the choreography has to provide. We
distinguish between resource events and complex events for calculation of
process metrics using complex event processing technology. We present our
implementation and evaluate the concepts based on a scenario.},

abstract = {Choreographies offer means to describe the long-running collaboration of
business partners. Such descriptions can be used to create new participant
processes which comply to the overall choreography or to check whether
participating processes conform to the protocol. In addition, choreography
descriptions allow for asserting whether a completed cross-organizational
conversation has been compliant to the planned choreography. However,
choreography descriptions have so far not been used during execution but only
during design time. Therefore, it is not yet possible to immediately detect
protocol violations and to instantly handle such violations. In this paper we
motivate the need of a Choreography-aware Service Bus which is capable of
tracking the soundness of cross-organizational conversations while they are
running. This fosters a novel notion of exception handling in the context of
choreographies.},

global perspective and specify allowed service conversations. Choreographies
typically do not rely on static binding, i.e. the participating services are
not selected at design-time of the choreography. Some services might only be
selected at runtime and this selection has to be propagated in the case of
multi-lateral conversations. Hence, the notion of service referrals (also
called link passing mobility) is recurrent in choreographies. In past work, we
have proposed BPEL extensions for describing service choreographies, namely
BPEL4Chor. This paper closely investigates the link passing mobility
capabilities of BPEL4Chor and illustrates their semantics using Pi-calculus.},

development of context-aware applications, but also enable workflow technology
to be applied in new domains that are process oriented and yet not supported by

participants and their interconnection using message links and (iii)
participant groundings, i.e. concrete configurations for data formats and port

of technologies have been developed in recent years. These technologies enable
to specify the desired deployment in the form of deployment models that can be
automatically processed by a provisioning engine. However, the deployment
across several clouds increases the complexity of the provisioning. Using one
deployment model with a single provisioning engine, which orchestrates the
deployment across the clouds, forces the providers to expose low-level APIs to
ensure the accessibility from outside. In this paper, we present an extended
version of the split and match method to facilitate the division of deployment
models to multiple models which can be deployed by each provider separately.
The goal of this approach is to reduce the information and APIs which have to
be exposed to the outside. We present a formalization and algorithms to
automate the method. Moreover, we validate the practical feasibility by a
prototype based on the TOSCA standard and the OpenTOSCA ecosystem.},

process topology-based deployment models that describes the application's

which had not existed before and prevent a functional deployment. This includes
security issues, communication restrictions, or incompatibilities. For example,
a formerly over the internal network established insecure connection leads to
security problems when using the public network after the adaptation. In order
to solve problems in adapted deployment models, first the problems have to be
detected. Unfortunately, detecting such problems is a highly non-trivial
challenge that requires deep expertise about the involved technologies and the
environment. In this paper, we present (i) an approach for detecting problems
in deployment models using architecture and design patterns and (ii) the
automation of the detection process by formalizing the problem a pattern solves
in a certain context. We validate the practical feasibility of our approach by
a prototypical implementation for the automated problem detection in TOSCA

it can guide CEP. Existing literature is reviewed and specific challenges and
opportunities are indicated for each of these quadrants. Based on this mapping,

increasing. Although service choreographies provide means to specify complex
conversations between multiple interacting parties from a global perspective

shift towards data-awareness at the moment. In this paper, we discuss current
shortcomings such as missing support for data flow across services and a
choreography data contract all interacting parties agree on. This results in
more complex and rigid choreography models, making them also less flexible
regarding their data perspective during run time. The main contribution is our
approach for modeling and execution of data-aware service choreographies
towards increasing the level of data awareness in choreographies.},

abstract = {DevOps as an emerging paradigm aims to tightly integrate developers with
operations personnel. This enables fast and frequent releases in the sense of
continuously delivering new iterations of a particular application. Users and
customers of today's Web applications and mobile apps running in the Cloud
expect fast feedback to problems and feature requests. Thus, it is a critical
competitive advantage to be able to respond quickly. Besides cultural and
organizational changes that are necessary to apply DevOps in practice, tooling
is required to implement end-to-end automation of deployment processes.
Automation is the key to efficient collaboration and tight integration between
development and operations. The DevOps community is constantly pushing new
approaches, tools, and open-source artifacts to implement such automated
processes. However, as all these proprietary and heterogeneous DevOps
automation approaches differ from each other, it is hard to integrate and
combine them to deploy applications in the Cloud using an automated deployment
process. In this paper we present a systematic classification of DevOps
artifacts and show how different kinds of artifacts can be discovered and
transformed toward TOSCA, which is an emerging standard. We present an
integrated modeling and runtime framework to enable the seamless and
interoperable integration of different approaches to model and deploy
application topologies. The framework is implemented by an open-source,
end-to-end toolchain. Moreover, we validate and evaluate the presented approach
to show its practical feasibility based on a detailed case study, in particular
considering the performance of the transformation toward TOSCA.},

pivotal to support this way of working. A process view shields secret or

process to partner organizations. This paper introduces a specification
framework to support service outsourcing using process views. To enable the
construction of process views at various levels of detail, the framework
defines several projection relations between process views and the underlying
internal processes. To allow consumers and providers of process views to
establish an outsourcing relation, the framework defines several matching
relations between the respective views that are comprehensive and flexible for
service outsourcing. A proof-of-concept prototype tool implements the
framework, which is applied in a case study.},

business process management and optimization has been applied to different
cross-cutting concerns such as security, compliance, or Green IT, for example.
Based on the ecological characteristics of a business process, proper
environmentally sustainable adaptation strategies can be chosen to improve the
total environmental impact of the business process. We use ecological
sustainable adaptation strategies that are described as Green Business Process
Patterns. The application of such a Green Business Process Pattern, however,
affects the business process layer, the application component and the
infrastructure layer. This implies that changes in the application
infrastructure also need to be considered. Hence, we use best practices of
cloud application architectures which are described as Cloud Patterns. To guide
developers through the adaptation process we propose a pattern-based approach
in this work. We correlate Cloud Patterns relevant for sustainable business
processes to Green Business Process Patterns and organize them within a
classification. To provide concrete implementation support we further annotate
these Cloud Patterns to application component models that are described with
the Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA).
Using these annotations, we describe a method that provides the means to
optimize business processes based on Green Business Process Patterns through
adapting the implementation of application components with concrete TOSCA
implementation models.},

fault handlers. When splitting loops and scopes, we extend existing Web
services standards and frameworks in a standard compliant manner in order to
support the resulting split control (not data) between the fragments. Data
dependencies, however, are handled directly using BPEL constructs placed in the
fragments even for split loops and scopes.
We present a solution that uses a BPEL process, partition information, and
results of data-flow analysis to produce a BPEL process for each participant.
The collective behavior of these participant processes recreates the control
and data flow of the non-split process. Previous work presented process
splitting using a variant of BPEL where data flow is modeled explicitly using
``data links''. We reuse the control flow aspect from that work as well as the
control flow aspect from our work on splitting loops and scopes, focusing in
this paper on maintaining the data dependencies in standard BPEL.},

software systems based on services. Especially in those scenarios where
services implement business processes, complex conversations between the

abstract = {The IoT is gaining increasing attention. The overall aim is to interconnect the
physical with the digital world. Therefore, the physical world is measured by
sensors and translated into processible data, and data has to be translated
into commands to be executed by actuators. Due to the growing interest in IoT,
the number of platforms designed to support IoT has risen considerably. As a
result of different approaches, standards, and use cases, there is a wide
variety and heterogeneity of IoT platforms. This leads to difficulties in
comprehending, selecting, and using appropriate platforms. In this work, we
tackle these issues by conducting a detailed analysis of several
state-of-the-art IoT platforms in order to foster the understanding of the (i)
underlying concepts, (ii) similarities, and (iii) differences between them. We
show that the various components of the different platforms can be mapped to an
abstract reference architecture, and analyze the effectiveness of this mapping.},

abstract = {The efficient provisioning of complex applications is one of the most
challenging issues in Cloud Computing. Therefore, various provisioning and
configuration management technologies have been developed that can be
categorized as follows: imperative approaches enable a precise specification of
the low-level tasks to be executed whereas declarative approaches focus on
describing the desired goals and constraints. Since complex applications employ
a plethora of heterogeneous components that must be wired and configured,
typically multiple of these technologies have to be integrated to automate the
entire provisioning process. In a former work, we presented a workflow
modelling concept that enables the seamless integration of imperative and
declarative technologies. This paper is an extension of that work to integrate
the modelling concept with the Cloud standard TOSCA. In particular, we show how
Hybrid Provisioning Plans can be created that retrieve all required information
about the desired provisioning directly from the corresponding TOSCA model. We
validate the practical feasibility of the concept by extending the OpenTOSCA
runtime environment and the workflow language BPEL.},

important issues in Cloud Computing. However, the steadily increasing number of
different services and software components employed in composite Cloud

technologies work together that bring their own proprietary management APIs.
Due to unknown dependencies and the increasing diversity and heterogeneity of
employed technologies, even small management tasks on a single component may
compromise the whole application functionality for reasons that are neither
expected nor obvious to non-experts. In this paper, we tackle these issues by
introducing a method that enables detecting and correcting unintended effects
of provisioning and management tasks in advance by analyzing the context in
which the tasks are executed. We validate the method practically and show how
context-aware expert management knowledge can be applied fully automatically to
provision and manage running Cloud applications.},

concerns of today{\^a}€™s enterprise IT. These applications typically consist of

new ways to enable portable automated deployment and management of composite

TOSCA.},

selected eight regular submissions, two position papers, and one tool
demonstration by researchers from Belgium, Egypt, Germany, Italy, and
Switzerland for presentation at the workshop. Each submission went through a
thorough peer-review process and was assessed by at least three members of the
program committee with regard to its relevance and scientific quality. The
accepted contributions cover the areas of Microservices, Business Process
Management, and the Internet of Things. In addition, the workshop also hosted a
tool session to introduce early stage researchers to tools that ease the
literature research and the documentation of architectural decisions for
software systems.},

noch in einem f{\"u}hen Entwicklungsstadium befinden, im Vordergrund. So erhalten
Teilnehmer bereits vor der Einreichung eines Konferenzpapieres erste
R{\"u}ckmeldungen au{\ss}erhalb ihrer Gruppe. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus erlaubt der Workshop durch
seine regionale Ausrichtung den Aufbau eines wissenschaftlichen Netzwerkes, das
intensiv und zu geringen Kosten genutzt werden kann. Er richtet sich dabei
insbesondere an junge deutschsprachige Forscher im Service-Bereich. Der erste
ZEUS-Workshops findet am 2. und 3. M{\"a}rz 2009 in Stuttgart statt. Veranstalter
ist das Institut f{\"u}r Architektur von Anwendungssystemen der Universit{\"a}t
Stuttgart. Es gab 17 eingereichte Beitr{\"a}ge, die alle nach kurzer Begutachtung
in das Programm aufgenommen wurden. Weiterhin wird es einen eingeladenen
Vortrag von Prof. Karsten Wolf (Universit{\"a}t Rostock) geben. Wir hoffen, dass
die Vortr{\"a}ge eine gelungene Grundlage f{\"u}r rege Diskussionen bieten.},
