AI

The paper discusses the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) as an essential paradigm for modern information systems, emphasizing the shift from product-oriented to service-oriented systems. It highlights the importance of Web services technology in supporting SOA, enabling organizations to utilize and compose services flexibly to adapt to dynamic business environments. Key issues such as service description, compatibility, security, and performance are explored, along with the potential for new business opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises.

Method engineering techniques albeit proven effective for paradigms such as function, object and component, are pertinent to limited aspects of service orientation (SO). The comparison frameworks show that the produced methods neither conform to SO design principles nor to SOA, which is an issue. This paper proposes a framework to guide engineering methods for service-oriented software engineering. It describes a method by its aggregates and the relationships between elements such as Service Science (SS), SO, SOA, SOC, and Web. The paper also describes the guidance for method engineering. The framework consists of two layered categories of entities: (C1) conceptual foundation entities: SS, SO, and SOA, and (C2) realization infrastructure entities: SOC and Web. These entities request and provide services from/to each other. The framework comprehensively describes the SOSE environment, enforces the construct service with fundamental properties and principles, produces SOSE methods tha...

A taxonomy of information technology services: Web services as IT services
Andrea Stern, Joseph Davis

This paper examines the web services model in the context of models of a broader set of information technology (IT) services. It compares and contrasts the web services model with these models and proposes an approach to describing and classifying IT services on the basis of the complexity (as reflected in the structure and uncertainty) of the wider range of services. It also explores some critical implications of such a taxonomy, including a discussion of issues relating to managing and contracting for IT services which need to be comprehensively addressed in the service-oriented computing paradigm.

Service-Oriented Software Development
Mark Keith

2009

This paper describes a methodology for planning and executing software development projects based on the service-oriented paradigm called Service-Oriented Software Development (SOSD). This does not refer to a methodology for developing software services or service-oriented architectures. Rather, it is a method for managing the process of software development in a service-oriented approach in which the actions performed by individuals and groups are modeled as "services" which can be choreographed and orchestrated. SOSD has been adopted informally by many organizations in various forms and it runs somewhat contrary to some of the recent trends toward agile development methodologies. Interestingly, it performs well in certain situations where agile methods tend to break down. In addition to describing the basics of SOSD and its theoretical underpinnings, we outline its benefits and potential shortcomings. As evidence, project data is provided from a Fortune 500 company which has gradually adopted SOSD over the last two years.

Design models for service-based software application
Maria Anjum

2013

Context: The use of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) offers a new and distinct approach to creating software based applications (SBAs) around the idea of integrating distributed autonomous computing resources. A widely available realisation of an SOA exists in the form of web services. However, to date no standard techniques have emerged for developing SBAs. There is also a lack of consistency in describing the concept itself, and the published literature offers little evidence derived from the experience of developing `real world examples. Aims: The objective of the work described in this thesis was to conduct a series of studies to explore systematically the concept of what constitutes an SOA by using the published literature, to employ this to construct a proof of concept SOA design model based on a real world problem, and in doing so, to investigate how well existing design notations are able to support this architectural style. Method: The research described in this thesis...

Utilization of Web Services for Service Oriented Architecture
kunjal Mankad

Journal of Global Research in Computer Science, 2010

Rapid evolution of software architectures has become nowadays trend, in which distributed processing has proven highly efficient. Multiple architectures for distributed processing are available based on object oriented and component oriented concepts having their own advantages and limitations. The main aspect of developing the consistent architectural framework is to reduce the development cost of IT solutions and to integrate the business partners and customers with various capabilities with a clear vision in a easily manageable, quick and reusable fashion. Service Oriented Architecture is architecture, which is independent from any certain technology. The opening section of the paper highlights limitations of current software architectures as well as it focuses on need of Service Oriented Architecture by emphasizing various architectural aspects including role of service. The second section presents the characteristics of Web Services with their advantages. It also shows that how Web Services fulfill the requirement of frequently changing needs of business industries by implementing Service Oriented Architecture. The last section of the paper presents the application of Web Services in implementing Service Oriented Architecture. A prototype example of Web Service is developed to show the efficiency of the proposed approach.

The Service-Oriented Metaphor Deciphered
Il-Yeol Song, Dirk Draheim

2010

In this article we review the metaphor of service-oriented architecture for enterprise computing. In typical definitions service-oriented architecture appears as a single message and a consistent roadmap for building flexible software system landscapes. But it is not. Different communities have elaborated different SOA (service-oriented architecture) concepts to address different problem areas, i.e., enterprise application integration, business-to-business, business process management, and software productizing. If software architects and software managers are aware of these strands of SOA when talking about SOA in their projects they can avoid misunderstandings and detours better. This article contributes a clarification of the different strands of SOA concepts and technologies and their mutual dependencies and identifies particular SOA concepts as instances of more general software engineering principles.

SCA and jABC: Bringing a Service-Oriented Paradigm to Web-Service Construction
Tiziana Margaria

Communications in Computer and Information Science, 2009

Extensibility, flexibility, easy maintainability, and long-term robustness are core requirements for modern, highly distributed information and computation systems. Such systems in turn show a steady increase in complexity. In pursuit of these goals, software engineering has seen a rapid evolution of architectural paradigms aiming towards increasingly modular, hierarchical, and compositional approaches. Object-orientation, component orientation, middleware components, product-lines, and-recently-service orientation. We compare two approaches towards a service-oriented paradigm, the Service Component Architecture (SCA) and the jABC.

Web Services Research Challenges, Limitations and Opportunities
Florije Ismaili

2008

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an architecture style where software components that provide a piece of functionality communicate with each other via message they exchange. Within SOA these pieces are called services. Nowadays, the technology platform most associated with the realization of SOA is Web Services. Web Services have received much interest due to their ability to transcend programming language, operating system, network communication protocol, and data representation dependencies and issues.
