RANKING SERVICE IMPLEMENTATIONS FOR A SERVICE INTERFACE

Abstract:

Techniques for ranking service implementations for a service interface are disclosed. Each module that includes a service implementation may be referred to as a "service provider module." The ranking of the service implementations, for the particular service interface, may be based on modular information. Modular information includes information associated with module dependencies and/or service dependencies corresponding to one or more of a candidate set of service provider modules. Additionally or alternatively, the ranking of the service implementations, for the particular service interface, may be based on statically-available information and/or dynamically-available information associated with one or more of a candidate set of service implementations.
