Applying Situational Method Engineering to the Development of Service Identification Methods
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently, situational method engineering (SME) has become more and more popular. Due to the fact that different situations require different methods, SME offers a flexible adaptation of methods. Furthermore, various approaches for the identification of services within service-oriented architectures have been proposed in the last few years. However, none of them provide a significant degree of situation-specific adaptability. Goal of this paper is to develop a meta model that can be used to construct service identification methods specific to certain situations. Therefore, ideas of SME are transferred into the realm of service identification. The meta model is further applied to a fictitious case.

Towards Construction of Situational Methods for Service Identification
The service-oriented paradigm plays an increasingly significant role in designing and governing IT architectures in organizations. The identification of services belongs to the most important parts of the service management lifecycle and is essential for the successful implementation of service-oriented architectures (SOA). However, existing methods for service identification mostly ignore situ...

Some overall method characteristics, such as agility and scalability, have become increasingly important. These characteristics are different from existing method requirements which focus on the functional purposes of individual method chunks and overall methods. Characteristics like agility and scalability are often not embodied in the function of a single method chunk but are instead reflecte...
متن کاملInformation Systems Evolution: A Process Model for Integrating New Services
Integration of different components that compose enterprise Information System (IS) represents a big challenge in the IS development. However, it is indispensable in order to avoid fragmentation of the IS and redundancy between different IS applications. In this work we consider service-driven IS engineering as a prospective approach to deal with IS fragmentation and interoperability of differe...
