A Service-System Based Identification of Meta-services for Service-Oriented Enterprise Architecture

Abstract

Services are more and more regarded as ruling paradigm for defining enterprise architectures. Meta-services have been introduced as further dimension for defining service-oriented enterprise architectures. However, there is no method to enumerate meta-services. Therefore, a first step towards a method is made by introducing service-systems as the foundation for the enumeration of meta-services. Metaservices can be identified in a systematical way using servicesystems to extend service-oriented enterprise architecture. Furthermore, the use of meta-services and service-system facilitates the management of enterprise architectures using external services such as cloud-services.

A Semi-Automatic Approach for Eliciting Cloud Security and Privacy Requirements

“…Zissis et al systematically capture dynamic characteristics to satisfy security and privacy requirements through trust-based concepts [23]. Schmidt presents a service-oriented approach to facilitate the management of enterprise architectures [20]. Our work addresses the need for a holistic approach to align existing security and privacy properties through a requirements perspective, from a business-oriented view towards concepts on a cloud-specific domain.…”

“…Due to the broad range of technologies embodied through the cloud computing paradigm, we survey work from domains such as Service-Orientated Architecture, Web 2.0 and distributed computing to provide common characteristics towards a cloud environment definition [20], [5], [2]. There are numerous efforts in producing a standard cloud computing definition, which is critical in enabling in-depth discussions and reasoning around cloud characteristics and requirements.…”
