Enhancing the OPEN Process Framework with service-oriented method fragments

Abstract

Service-orientation is a promising paradigm that enables the engineering of largescale distributed software systems using rigorous software development processes. The existing problem is that every service-oriented software development project often requires a customized development process that provides specific service-oriented software engineering tasks in support of requirements unique to that project. To resolve this problem and allow situational method engineering, we have defined a set of method fragments in support of the engineering of the project-specific service-oriented software development processes. We have derived the proposed method fragments from the recurring features of eleven prominent service-oriented software development methodologies using a systematic mining approach. We have added these new fragments to the repository of OPEN Process Framework to make them available to software engineers as reusable fragments using this well-known method repository.

Cloud Migration Research: A Systematic Review

“…Khadka [6] developed a migration framework for legacy-to-SOA evolution. They identify common methods in four different reengineering frameworks using method engineering [19]. This framework consists of six phases in two generic stages.…”

“…In order to develop a reference model for legacy-to-cloud, we first need to adopt a method to formally represent the conceptual model. Based on previous experience [19], we adopt situational method engineering [28] TABLE 14. We identify the key processes related to cloud migration. In method engineering, one can follow a bottom-up approach by identifying low-level activities and techniques and then categorize them to form generalized tasks and processes.…”

“…In order to regulate how to create, organize and reuse software components, organizations often apply SOA and cloud computing as an architectural style [19] [2]. These enable business opportunities or technical benefits.…”

Cloud Migration Patterns: A Multi-cloud Service Architecture Perspective

“…For the migration plan we had different requirements, but were able to find a satisfactory patterns solution. Thus, the requirement satisfaction in this case is achieved and met by the proposed patterns [8]. Technically, we can only conclude that the migration patterns are complete and useful for all situations arising from the use case.…”

“…To account for the situational context of applications, e.g., security, performance, availability needs, existing approaches [1] suggest a trade-off between flexibility and ease of migration using a fixed set of migration strategies. We propose an assembly-based approach based on our experience in situational method engineering [8] where a method is constructed from reusable method fragments and chunks [9]. This allows creating a migration plan from scratch by combining existing migration building blocks in the form of migration patterns.…”
