Abstract

A computer-implemented method for execution of a service in a distributed environment, the method comprising performing a speculative execution of a service and storing a related result, wherein a decision whether the speculative execution of the service is performed is dependent on a dynamically changing score value and receiving a request for an execution of the service at a request proxy. Additionally, the method comprises upon determining that a valid result of the execution of the service is available from an earlier speculative execution of a comparable service, returning the valid result by the request proxy, and upon determining that a valid result of the execution of the service is not available from an earlier speculative execution of a comparable service, executing the service in a non-speculative manner, and returning a received non-speculative result by the request proxy.
