ABSTRACT

By applying the paradigm of service-oriented computing (SOC) to existing IT infrastructures, companies aim at increasing flexibility and reducing complexity prevalent in their enterprise IT. Yet, introducing SOA brings forward an SOC-specific IT complexity that - among other issues - has to be adressed by a company's IT Service Management (ITSM). To facilitate an ITSM-based assessment of an SOC-based enterprise IT architecture at design-time, this paper presents an approach for an agent-based SOA simulation system: SimSOA. By conducting simulation runs, a design-time assessment of an IT Service architecture with respect to aspects of Availability Management, Service Level Management and others is supported. This paper outlines the architecture of SimSOA and its current state of implementation - and presents an experiment within which the capabilities of SimSOA are analyzed against an ITSM-related scenario.
