Towards a service-oriented enterprise based on business components identification

A method to identify services using master data and artifact-centric modeling approach

“…The method reported in [21] is based on business process decomposition. It constructs a CRUD (create, read, update and delete) matrix to correlate process activity with business concepts and uses an algorithm to group operations accordingly to the business concept created or updated by them.…”

“…This strategy is the most aligned with the enterprises reality, since it considers existing software assets and quickly delivers recognizable benefits without neglecting the fact that services are designed for reuse and must be aligned with the business context. Nevertheless, according to current SIMs surveys ( [5], [6], [15], [17], [20], [27], [28]), only few methods can be classified as Meet in the middle [1], [3], [12], [13], [14], [21], [22], [23], [24]. All of them use processes as inputs to elicit business perspective.…”

Automated Service Identification Methods: A Review

“…Also, most of the works covering the service granularity level focus on tightly coupled activities. Some studies use CRUD matrix to find the level of relationships between tasks or processes [17]. Granularity determines the functional scope of a service.…”

National frameworks’ survey on standardization of e-Government documents and processes for interoperability

“…Therefore he considers the following interoperability levels: strategy (and strategy mapping), business (design of processes, organization, infrastructure, product and decisions), process (flexible process interaction), services (composition, adaptation, packaging services), and data (data transformation). Chaari et al argue that interoperability is by nature an evolving and highly dynamic practice which requires being aligned to suitable IT infrastructure characterised by agility, flexibility, adaptability and mostly modularity features, however as such, it requires a new generation of IT architecture offering more potential to the interoperability requirements [7]. Alter [1] defines five levels of business process interoperability: common culture, common standards, information sharing, coordination and collaboration.…”
