A Modeling Approach for Service-Oriented Architecture

Abstract

Abstract. Specifying service-oriented system, which is a new type of Enterprise Information System, is critical with the rapid development of Web Services. For the purpose, this paper presents an approach to model ServiceOriented Architecture (SOA). We do not exclude the traditional opinions of software architecture description as the current specification approaches; on the contrary, some similar conceptions, such as service components and connectors are defined in this paper. For architectural reuse, the notion of composite service components is specified to model services composition and that of composite connectors is defined to abstract the complex communication protocols. Within the context of the Travel Reservation System (TRS), we demonstrate the usage and practicability of our approach based-on Web Services.

Integration of Distributed Enterprise Applications: A Survey

“…It is noted that there are strong demands in industry to add interoperability and other collaborative features to existing industrial information systems [3], [14], [74]. As more and more industry enterprises are adopting multi-tier client/server, Internet and service-oriented architectures for their enterprise applications and industrial devices [12], [27], [77][78][79][80][81], the need for interoperability is prominent in the industrial enterprise environment [13]. Currently, there are still many research challenges such as user interface integration, reliability, performance management and security risk management [3], data mining for distributed applications [82], cross infrastructures services access protection and relative services orchestration [83], integration framework for supply chain applications [84][85], integration of hybrid wireless networks in enterprise systems [86], architecture design for real-time sensor network [65], control architecture for the sensor, actuator and control service implementation [60] that need to be resolved in order for industrial systems to become more applicable [8].…”

Distributed data mining for e-business

“…Based on the principle of SOA [17,24,31,32,54,60], standardization and open source, Stankovski et al [48] proposed a DDM system based on a Data Mining Grid (DMG). Figure 8 depicts the DMG system architecture in four layers.…”

Cohesion and coupling metrics for ontology modules

“…Ontologies are the backbone of the Semantic Web, a semantic-aware version of the World Wide Web [14,23,30,36,54,57,60]. They provide an essential knowledgesharing infrastructure of semantic-driven applications.…”
