Service markets provide software components in the form of services. In order to enable a service discovery that satisfies service requesters and providers best, markets need automatic service matching: approaches for comparing whether a provided service satisfies a service request. Current markets, e.g., app markets, are limited to basic keyword-based search although many better suitable matching approaches are described in literature. However, necessary architectural decisions for the integration of matchers have a huge impact on quality properties like performance or security.
Architectural decisions wrt. service matchers have rarely been discussed, yet, and systematic approaches for their integration into service markets are missing. In this paper, we present a systematic integration approach including the definition of requirements and a discussion on architectural tactics. As a benefit, the decision-making process of integrating service matchers is supported and the overall market success can be improved.
