Mia - Calculating migration information
Purpose
Given a running instance in a state qold of Sold, instance migration is the task of finding some state qnew of Snew such that resuming the execution in state qnew does not affect any partner of Sold. We call the transition from qold to qnew a jumper transition.
Mia is a tool to calculate the set of jumper transitions between two given services.
Case Study
For a paper submitted to ICSOC 2009, we migrated several real WS-BPEL processes to their public view.
This case study using Mia can be replayed using a Web-based implementation http://service-technology.org/live#mia.
