Service-Oriented Enterprise Architecture

This paper evaluates the promises of service reusability through an analysis of services implemented in a manufacturing enterprise. A total of 103 services implemented in the case enterprise are analyzed to understand the enablers and obstacles that have led to the reuse ratio of 13 %. The main identified enabler for reusable services was the capability to define the services as a part of reusable business concepts, which is aligned with some of the earlier studies on the adoption of service-oriented architecture in enterprises. The main reason for having overlapping services in the case enterprise was lagging migration of legacy services to use newer, reusable services. The results can be used to develop service engineering methodologies for better reusability, and the paper provides practical guidelines to help in the application of integration development efforts toward reusable services.

Abstract. Abduction is a logical reasoning process that allows the discovery and creation of new knowledge. However, the function of knowledge is not explicitly developed in the existing research on abduction. Developing information architecture is a scientific inquiry in a practical context as it engages multiple stakeholders. However, the current research in information architecture does not appear to be underpinned by sound theoretical foundations. This paper proposes a norm-based abduction process (NAP) where norms are seen as knowledge in developing information architecture. A case study of a UK hospital is used for illustration purposes. The key contribution of this paper is to incorporate norms in the existing abduction process, to assert abduction as the foundation of a logical reasoning process and to derive a theoretical proposition for information architecture.

“…In summary, the web relies on a service oriented architecture and related frameworks and service oriented computing in producing service-based applications [Di Nitto, et al, 2008] and serviceoriented enterprises [Steen, et al, 2005]. Arising from the flexible framework that has constructed aspects such as the platform, processing and computing powers can be acquired and expanded as required for the emerging developments and expanded provisioning of high performance computing.…”

The web has changed the way we do things in a variety of ways. It is not uncommon to associate the term disruptive technologies to the radical changes happening on the web. This paper takes an encompassing view of developments surrounding the web with a particular emphasis on emerging trends and evolving application scenarios. We provide a broad overview of technologies, in revealing directions for emerging developments as well as directions for next-generation developments. This survey paper first reviews aspects of the web growth and its contributing factors such as the expanding landscape of social networks, mass collaborative system capabilities, and eCommunities. We then present concerns relating to the numerous developments, particularly with respect to social and political developments. This paper clearly points out the knowledge gaps and the ensuing dangers arising from the purely commercial perspectives and motivation that is driving the web. By focusing on the trees rather than the forest as a whole, we are in the process of losing ourselves and endangering our future. Subsequently, we explore the implications of current developments in enabling the web to serve as a platform for serious work, in allowing users to focus on creatively shaping of our world.
