Method of design and specification of web services based on quality system documentation

Abstract

In this paper, we present a method for development and specification of web services based on the quality system documentation. The general assumption is that service oriented architecture is based on business services and these business services mostly correspond to exchanged documentation in a real business system. Documentation of a quality system is recognized in form of documents that describe business processes in a real business system and identify exchanged documentation with environment. Presented method uses documentation of quality system and documentation flow for web service specification. We developed the CASE tool for web service specification based on a new approach, and we compare it to other existing tools.

A Systematic Literature Review on Service Description Methods

“…For instance Syntax based service descriptions work nicely only if specification documents are available to explain the details of the capabilities of the service as well as the conditions necessary for using the service [22]. But if such specification document is not available, verbose service description methods ( [19]) come in to play. Syntax based and semantic based service description methods can be combined to provide rich service description approaches [20].…”

“…Table 2 shows the major problems discovered in the literature study. [4], [9], [14], [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] Gap between business oriented and IT oriented Service Realizations. [7], [16], [17], [27] Lack of dynamic adaptability and situation awareness [9], [14], [23], [28] Producer only centric approaches [29], [31] Imprecise Requirements Specification…”

“…The limitations of theses functional requirement descriptions are mainly related with their lack in describing the quality and dynamic aspects of the services [19], [20]. These limitations are directly related to the limitations of syntax based approaches as the functional requirement description methods use the syntax based approaches in describing services.…”

Innovation Management on the Way to Business Excellence

“…QDMS as a prototype platform and catalyst for the ED paradigm. Application services, available from providers, map business services in a process-modeled business environment, which is described in detail by the QMS documentation [14]. In order for the mapping to be effective, it is necessary for the documentation to faithfully reflect the business system and all its changes, as well as for it to have a mechanism for prototypical testing of changes through the records of the documentation system.…”
