Service-oriented programming for design space exploration

Abstract

Each computing system requires a platform that allows software to run. Each platform's programming environment reflects a relevant abstraction, and usually the type and quality of the abstraction implies the complexity of problems we are able to solve. The Service ORiented Computing EnviRonment (SORCER) targets service abstractions for transdisciplinary complexity with support for distributed high performance computing. SORCER service commands are expressed in an Exertion-Oriented Language (EOL) in concert with two other languages. In this paper event-driven design space exploration is presented using these languages. A nonlinear optimization-programming example is described using the federation of services. The design service requestor collaborating with a space explorer, optimization model, and optimizer services in the network defines the service-oriented design space exploration. © Springer-Verlag London 2013.
