Summary: | Written in an easy to follow style with discussions supported by real-world examples, this book introduces a novel approach with associated language, framework, and tool support to show how service orchestration techniques can be used to engineer and deploy Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications. It describes the benefits as well as the challenges of building adaptive, multi-tenant software service applications using service-orchestration techniques; provides a thorough synopsis of the current state of the art, including the advantages and drawbacks of the adaptation techniques available; describes in detail how the underlying framework of the new approach has been implemented using available technologies, such as business rules engines and web services. --
