CommonGOV: A consolidate approach for governance of service-oriented architecture

Abstract

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a paradigm used by organizations to reduce costs and foster agility through reuse of assets and an increase of alignment between business and IT. To achieve these benefits, a governance model is vital to ensure that technical actions and decisions of IT departments are aligned to organizations' business goals and requirements. There are several proposals of SOA governance models in academia and industry. However, there are important differences between them concerning process, elements and definitions they propose. This work analyzes the main current SOA governance models proposed by literature, and presents a consolidate approach aiming to create a governance model that addresses the most important issues for organizations.

“…A very similar work [18] which extends the paper [17] does not clarify the issues raised. In [58,59], the authors propose a consolidate approach of organization management that addresses the main issues as the organization governance. They called it the CommonGov approach.…”
