“…Therefore, the focus of this research attempt is on methods that start from a high-abstract input type such as the business process, business goals, and business requirements. A semi-automated approach for service identification was presented in [1]. This approach aims to achieve the business-IT alignment by deriving the SOA services from the business process or business goals.…”

“…However, service identification methods (SIMs) can suffer from serious shortcomings. For example, the majority of SIMs are not fully comprehensive as they do not cover all the phases of service identification (i.e., the majority of SIMs address the service identification phase alone), and therefore, some critical aspects of service identification may be ignored [1]. In addition, there is a lack of computational support such that SIMs rely heavily on the software engineer to fulfil the service identification activities [7].…”

Cancer Care involves not only handling patients' medical or physical needs but also other services to facilitate patient needs which are underpinned by appropriate software systems that assist in patient care processes. The Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) model of computing has become widely adopted and can provide efficient and agile business solutions in the face of rapid changes to business requirements. Instead of adopting a more traditional way of building an IT system for Cancer Care by rigidly piecing together a collection of hardware, software and networking, SOA offers the opportunity to build the IT systems in an increasingly flexible and reconfigurable way. However, current service identification methods can suffer from shortcomings such as a lack of computational support, and not being able to address all the necessary activities of the service identification. To address these shortcomings, this paper presents a comprehensive metaheuristic search framework for deriving SOA-based services applied to Cancer Care business process models. This framework is evaluated using both quantitative and qualitative methods with the help of domain experts at King Hussein Cancer Centre (KHCC), Jordan. Evaluation by domain experts confirmed that the resulting services are feasible (i.e., valid services that can be practically applied for real-life projects) that the domain experts might not have arrived at manually. Statistical analysis shows candidate services produced by the search-based framework are superior to the services produced manually by domain experts at KHCC with respect to metrics for coupling and cohesion.

The gap between business services and IT services becomes a major concern in services computing. As an approach for service-based IT solution, services computing systems are promised to be able to bridge the gap between these services. The implementation will require an engineering framework as a guide to building the systems. The framework needs to be evaluated to provide important feedback to the framework development. This paper outlines the evaluation of SCSE framework through an acceptance model. The study develops an acceptance model based on the experiences of a group of engineers after using the framework to build smart campus services systems. A survey involving 54 systems engineers with various engineering backgrounds was conducted to assess the experiences of the engineers in using the framework. The results of the acceptance model show that both perceived ease of use, represented by the level of agreement (υ1) and perceived usefulness, represented by the level of importance (υ2) deliver good results almost for the entire stages of the proposed framework. In addition, the user experiences of using the proposed framework are in the acceptable levels. The contribution of this paper is an enrichment of the engineering methodologies for the service-oriented system from the perspective of services computing.

“…In general, the methods for service discovery can be classified into three types: the first is a top-to-bottom method based on domain decomposition, the business elements are decomposed to a certain granularity, which is called service. The existing methods include Process-based service discovery [2], capability-based service discovery [4], Data-based service discovery [5].The second is based on the analysis of the existing system based on the method of analysis, mainly through the analysis of existing information system functions and extract some functions and as a service, these services can be reused; the third is the combination of bottom-up and up-bottom approaches, these methods take into account the need of business and the capabilities that information system functions can  Corresponding author.…”

During architecture design process, designers need to use specific methods to design architecture data and products. As the standards of architecture framework, DODAF2.0 lack of specific methods to design data and products. As the link of operational viewpoint and service viewpoint, SvcV5 is the key to design the service view data and products. In this paper, we studied the assistant design method of SvcV5 based on service discovery. Firstly, the relevant data is extracted from OV6b, CV4 and CV6, and the dependency matrix of activities is established based on the analysis of capability dependency and data dependency of activities. Secondly, based on the information exchange relationship of activity, Service initial discovery method is proposed; thirdly, the service cohesion and the coupling degree related metrics are analyzed, and an algorithm is used to cluster and improve the service composition. Finally, based on the mapping between result of service clustering and the list of common services, the service determination is realized to support the design of SvcV5.
