A Fault Taxonomy for Service-Oriented Architecture

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a popular design paradigm for distributed systems today but the high adaptivity and complexity of SOA implementations may also introduce additional sources of faults. We first describe typical steps in SOA to understand possible faults. Then, we provide a corresponding fault taxonomy according to the process of service invocation. Finally, we present possible benefits of our taxonomy for dependability enhancement in SOA-based systems.
