“…Existing approaches usually address a wide range of issues including: syntax, semantics, data compatibility or resource sharing. Tools that simplify interoperability analysis have been proposed for various design levels ranging from the protocol level [2] to the enterprise architecture level [15]. [2] describes interoperability attributes of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components in software development.…”

Abstract. Web services standards were designed to enable interoperability of heterogeneous application servers in the Service Oriented Architecture. Although the standards proved to be highly successful, there are still difficulties in effective services integration. The paper presents a methodology that enables description of application servers interoperability in order to improve the service integration process. The methodology proposes a systematic classification of Web services standards, versions and configuration options, and uses the classification for interoperability rating. Concrete integrations are rated by developers that specify integration scope, configuration complexity and required expertise level. The methodology was implemented in a web system that enables definition of standards and configuration options as well as rating of integrations. As a part of the research, interoperability experiments were executed and registered in the system.

“…Authors also present an assessment tool that performs analysis of potential integration mismatches. [15] presents a model for enterprise service interoperability analysis. The model is based on factors and factor dependencies that influence interoperability, such as service description, orchestration language, or semantic compatibility.…”

“…The papers focus mainly on service compatibility analysis rather than selection based on non-functional QoS attributes. (Ullberg et al, 2008) and (Tsalgatidou et al, 2008) present frameworks that enable interoperability rating and analysis in Web services-based systems. Both papers propose service metamodels that cover core service description concepts applicable on the enterprise or on the P2P level.…”

In Service Oriented Architecture, composite applications are developed by integration of existing, atomic services that may be available in alternative versions realizing the same functionality but having different Quality of Service (QoS) attributes. The development process requires effective service selection algorithms that balance profits and constraints of QoS attributes. Additionally, services operate in a heterogeneous environment, which requires resolution of interoperability issues during integration. In this paper, the author proposes a methodology that introduces interoperability analysis into existing service selection algorithms. Algorithm data structures are extended with additional constraints that represent interoperability for the two considered computational models: the graph-based model and the combinatorial model based on integer linear programming. The extensions enable a straightforward application of a wide range of existing algorithms as the general structure of input data is preserved. As a part of the research, a system that supports development of SOA-based applications was implemented. Chosen service selection algorithms together with appropriate extensions for interoperability analysis were implemented in the system. 23L. Kaczmarek P..

“…One such goal could be to assess the security [14] of an information system. Other goals could be to assess the availability [15], interoperability [16] or data quality [17] [18] of the proposed to-be architecture. Often several quality attributes are desirable goals.…”

Enterprise architecture advocates for model-based decisionmaking on enterprise-wide information system issues. In order to provide decision-making support, enterprise architecture models should not only be descriptive but also enable analysis. This paper presents a software tool, currently under development, for the evaluation of enterprise architecture models. In particular, the paper focuses on how to encode scientific theories so that they can be used for model-based analysis and reasoning under uncertainty. The tool architecture is described, and a case study shows how the tool supports the process of enterprise architecture analysis.
