“…It could also improve the representation of service provisioning by addressing, e.g., business/market partners from one side, and how their resources can interact (through, e.g., interfaces, outputs, inputs, conditions) from another. USDL (Unified Service Description Language) [24] is a platform-neutral language for service description supported by SAP Research that aims to unify three aspects, namely: business (involving, service provider and other roles), operational aspects (e.g., capabilities, dependences, compositions), and technical aspects (e.g., protocols, and technical interfaces). The language's elements are organized in modules, among which we point out three of them: participants, service, and service level.…”

ArchiMate is a widely adopted enterprise architecture modeling language that includes the "service" construct as a key structuring element across its enterprise layers. A previous analysis of the use of this construct within ArchiMate's business layer concluded that it fails to represent some important social aspects associated with the dynamics of service relations, which led to recommendations for improvements in the form of modeling patterns with focus on the business layer of ArchiMate. In this paper, we extend that analysis to consider also service relations in the application and technology layers. We explore the importance of addressing two complementary views for service modeling: the capability-based and the commitment-based views. As a result, a more comprehensive modeling strategy for service relations in ArchiMate is proposed; this strategy is able to reflect business models that employ the service notion, including software-as-a-service (SaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS). We use a reference ontology for services (UFO-S) to support our analysis.

“…Since SVNs represent complex interactions between customer, service suppliers and enablers, they are influenced by at least four perspectives: economic, social, political and technological (Basole and Rouse 2008). In a similar vein, efforts such as the Unified Service Description Language (USDL) focus on three perspectives: business (usually dealing with economic and political issues, too), technical/software and operational/platform (Cardoso et al 2010;Barros and Oberle 2012). Consequently, given the complexity of integrating several perspectives within SVNs, a multi-perspective integration framework is yet to be developed.…”

“…Foreseen solution To address this issues we can rely on research previously conducted by De Kinderen et al who have already proposed a pricing model for pre-composed bundles (De Kinderen et al 2013), USDL that provides a pricing module for services (Barros and Oberle 2012), or Becker et al who have designed a language to price bundles containing products and related value-added services (Becker et al 2011).…”

Commercial services are of utmost importance for the economy. Due to the widespread use of information and communication technologies, many of these services may be delivered online by means of service value networks. To automate this delivery, however, issues such as composition, integration, and operationalization need to be addressed. In this paper, the authors share their long-term vision on composition of service value networks and describe relationships with fields such as cloud computing and enterprise computing. As a demonstration of the state of the art, capabilities and limitations of e 3 service are described and research challenges are defined.

“…After that, different standard bodies have specified many languages, but the most prominent language to describe services is the USDL, i.e. Unified Service Description Language [18]. USDL has been built and assessed in a collaborative and interdisciplinary way by the contribution of researchers such as computer scientists, security and SLA experts, business economists, and legal scientists from different countries.…”
