Dissertation: A Theory of Microservice Integration
Abstract Microservices are an architectural style for building scalable and maintainable software applications. These applications are composed of small and self-contained services that communicate over a network with each other. The loose coupling between microservices supports independent evolution and deployment, allowing teams to adopt the most suitable technologies for each service. However, this decomposition introduces […]Abstract Microservices are an architectural style for building scalable and maintainable software applications.

Dissertation: Open Collaborative Data Engineering With Subject-Matter Experts Using Domain-Speciﬁc Languages
Abstract: Open collaborative workflows are common, for example, in open-source software development or Wikipedia. They reduce costs for individual participants and can improve the overall quality of the result. A potential application domain for open collaboration is data engineering, especially for open data, which shares many qualities with open-source software as it can be freely […]

Dissertation: Creating Company-Led Open Source Consortia
Abstract: This thesis focuses on company-led open source (OS) consortia. Unlike community-led open source communities, company-led OS consortia are led by companies or organizations. Driver members of these consortia may include information technology firms or end-user companies from industries beyond the software sector. The objectives of this thesis are to identify the characteristics of company-led […]Abstract: This thesis focuses on company-led open source (OS) consortia.

Research Paper: Ensuring Syntactic Interoperability Using Consumer-Driven Contract Testing
Abstract: Integrating services in service-based architectures is a major concern and challenge to their developers. A key problem is that today’s compilers cannot ensure syntactic interoperability of web APIs. Without further help, invalid calls surface only at runtime. Microservice-based architectures exacerbate this problem due to their use of polyglot software stacks and independent deployments. As […]Abstract: Integrating services in service-based architectures is a major concern and challenge to their developers.

Research Paper: Balancing Technology Heterogeneity in Microservice Architectures
Abstract: Microservices are a popular architectural style that allows systems to be built from a potentially large number of microservices, all of which can be developed independently and by their own teams. As a resulting benefit, development teams can choose the technologies optimal for their microservices, leading to a diversity of different programming languages, frameworks, […]

Research Paper: A Taxonomy of Microservice Integration Techniques
Abstract Context: Microservices have become an important architectural style for building robust and scalable software systems. A system’s functionality is split into independent units, the microservices, that communicate over a network and can be deployed independently. The shift of complexity into the integration layer necessitates enhanced collaboration among stakeholders, stressing the importance of effective communication.
