On the Restriction of Conceptual Modeling - Outlining an Approach to Enable Business Driven SOA
نویسندگان
چکیده
Service-oriented architectures were introduced to create a technological basis for reacting to business requirements in a distributed application environment. Services encapsulate functionality to be reused in different processes and can be easily described in design models that should be the result of analyzing the business requirements described in conceptual models. However, this process is nontrivial, iterative, and can not be fully automated. This paper presents an approach to introduce artifacts to establish a consensus on language level which enhances the comparability of models and allows to semi-automate the transformation process by weakening the strict separation of language creation and language usage. In contrast to previous approaches, this approach enables a model based configuration of service-oriented architectures that allows an automation of activities of the SOA development process that are currently carried out manually. As a result, the technical knowledge relevant to cope with the task is reduced, which at the same time shortens the time and effort for solving the overall task. This promotes the goal-oriented configuration of SOA. As specific technical knowledge is no longer needed, the modeler can concentrate on the analysis of the business problem.

Model-Driven and Pattern-Based Integration of Process-Driven SOA Models
Service-oriented architectures (SOA) are increasingly used in the context of business processes. However, the modeling approaches for process-driven SOAs do not yet sufficiently integrate the various kinds of models relevant for a processdriven SOA – ranging from process models to software architectural models to software design models. We propose to integrate process-driven SOA models via a mo...
متن کاملPerspectives on Semantic Business Process Modeling - a Generic Approach
With the rise of SOA advance, organizations require methods and tools to analyze services regarding their fit to the needs of an institution. Research on the evaluation and selection of services has mainly adopted a non-functional perspective so far. Hence, in this paper we propose a framework for analyzing services from a business process perspective. Since we cannot automatically adjust an in...
متن کاملDevelopment of a framework to evaluate service-oriented architecture governance using COBIT approach
Nowadays organizations require an effective governance framework for their service-oriented architecture (SOA) in order to enable them to use a framework to evaluate their current state governance and determine the governance requirements, and then to offer a suitable model for their governance. Various frameworks have been developed to evaluate the SOA governance. In this paper, a brief introd...
متن کاملConnecting Business and IT - A Model-driven Web Service based Approach
Service-oriented architectures focus on the alignment of business processes and the supporting information technology. To facilitate the alignment and to decrease administration costs we propose linking of SOA services to enterprise models respectively target state organisational models by using semantically enriched conceptual modelling languages. Acting on language meta-level means in this co...
متن کاملView-based and Model-driven Approach for Reducing the Development Complexity in Process-Driven SOA
In process-driven, service-oriented architectures (SOA), process activities invoke services to perform the various tasks of the process. As the number of elements involved in a business process architecture, such as processes, process activities, and services, grows, the complexity of process development also increases along with the number of the elements’ relationships, interactions, and data...
