A case study on reliable Erlang communication in open platforms based on Scribble

In future generation networks and systems, innovation is enabled by introducing new open platforms where various developers may contribute with new and innovative services that will be provided to the end users as a service and at runtime. These open platforms have to secure high level of automation so that developers and users may contribute to or use the open platform via standard interfaces. Moreover, these new open platforms have to secure high quality standards that would be assured through autonomous mechanisms that are implemented within these open platforms. As one of the very important aspects for the majority of services and its users is the reliability that open platforms offer for its users. Here in this paper, we present a case study how to secure an open platform for reliable service delivery. The case study is based on the use of Scribble tool that implements session types as formalism for describing protocol interactions that secure reliable operation among Erlang applications.
