A stakeholder-driven service life cycle model for SOA

ABSTRACT

Service-orientation is a relatively new paradigm aiming at developing software systems that are adaptive and dynamic. Service-oriented systems are developed by composing services that are shared across organizations. Because new roles and new development tasks are introduced in service-oriented development as opposed to traditional software engineering, a new approach to service life cycle management is required. In this paper, based on the observations of the state of the art in the field, we propose a stakeholder-driven service life cycle model for service oriented architecture (SOA). Horizontally, the model shows the activities that associated with the stakeholders in SOA. While vertically, the model shows the interactions and cooperation between the stakeholders. This model facilitates the researchers to gain further insight into service-oriented development and governance.
