AbstractDue to the increasing need of highly dependable services in Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), service-level agreements include more and more frequently such non-functional aspects as security, safety, availability, reliability, etc. Whenever a service can no longer be provided with the required QoS, the service requester needs to switch dynamically to a new service having adequate service parameters after exchanging a sequence of messages. In the current paper, we first extend the core SOA metamodel proposed in [2] with parameters required for reliable messaging in services. Then we model reconfigurations for reliable message delivery by graph transformation rules. Finally, we carry out a formal verification of the proposed rule set by combining analysis tools for graph transformation and labeled transition systems.
