To achieve this objective requires that techniques for discovering and engaging services be developed and used across the lifetime of the service-based applications. Doing this well requires that additional tech- niques be developed for ensuring desired quality of service metrics and service- level agreements. The crucial aspect of using services is thus their governance.}, } |
