“…Closely related are contributions about managing the variability in a SOA, in particular the pattern-based approaches by Khan et al [Khan et al 2011]. By managing variability, we mean the separated specification of differences (i.e., variation points and the binding options) between the variants to be instantiated from a SOA (see also SEPARATE DESCRIPTION OF VARIABILITY in [Voelter 2009]) and the corresponding implementation of the so-specified variants using different variability techniques (e.g., static and dynamic parametrization, injection).…”

Often software systems accommodate one or more software platforms on top of which various applications are developed and executed. Different application areas, such as enterprise resource planning, mobile devices, telecommunications, and so on, require different and specialized platforms. Many of them offer their services using standardized interface technologies to support integration with the applications built on top of them and with other platforms. The diversity of platform technologies and interfaces, however, renders the integration of multiple platforms challenging. In this paper, we discuss design alternatives for tailoring heterogeneous service platforms by studying high-level and low-level architectural design decisions for integrating and for adapting platforms. We survey and organize existing patterns and design decisions in the literature as a pattern language. With this pattern language, we address the various decision categories and interconnections for the service-based integration and the adaptation of applications developed based on software platforms. We apply this pattern language in an industry case study.

Evaluation of business processes is important for analysis and improvement of an organization. Different methods are used to evaluate the performance like statistics or visualization. However, these methods meet demands mainly on the top organizational level. There is insufficient support to evaluate processes at the process managerial level leading to a limited visibility of deficiencies in business processes at process level. In this paper, we address this challenge and focus on the relation between evaluation of business processes and their representation at the process managerial level. In our research, we follow the design science methodology in order to provide business process models for performance analysis. We also provide constructs and patterns of our proposed modeling language for analysis and improvement of business processes. The analytical business process modeling language is further explained with the help of a case study and demonstrated by extending an existing modeling language.

A Proposal for a Comparison Framework for the Management of Variability in Web Services Composition

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is currently considered as one of the most advanced means to realize quickly modular and flexible applications. A key concern for flexibility in SOA is the variability. Several works on variability were conducted. However, few studies have proposed classifications on the variability in the composition of web services. In this article, we propose an original approach to compare the management of variability in web services composition. This approach is based on a framework that considers the variability according to four dimensions namely the form, content, purpose, and life cycle. Each dimension is defined by a set of attributes that characterizes a particular facet of the variability.
