“…In addition, all SQMs proposed after 2005 contain both attribute types, demonstrating an improving trend with respect to this aspect. Finally, by inspecting the evaluation of the SQM of Colombo et al [2005] according to this and the first two criteria, it can be observed that this SQM contains only atomic attributes, while its category extensiveness is flat and level of detail is fair. Such an SQM is built and structured in this way for supporting fact computation (i.e., service matchmaking and selection) algorithms which require that no interattribute dependencies exist but only QoS attributes that can be immediately measured by specific metrics without introducing higher measurement levels.…”

Quality of service (QoS) can be a critical element for achieving the business goals of a service provider, for the acceptance of a service by the user, or for guaranteeing service characteristics in a composition of services, where a service is defined as either a software or a software-support (i.e., infrastructural) service which is available on any type of network or electronic channel. The goal of this article is to compare the approaches to QoS description in the literature, where several models and metamodels are included. consider a large spectrum of models and metamodels to describe service quality, ranging from ontological approaches to define quality measures, metrics, and dimensions, to metamodels enabling the specification of quality-based service requirements and capabilities as well as of SLAs (Service-Level Agreements) and SLA templates for service provisioning. Our survey is performed by inspecting the characteristics of the available approaches to reveal which are the consolidated ones and which are the ones specific to given aspects and to analyze where the need for further research and investigation lies. The approaches here illustrated have been selected based on a systematic review of conference proceedings and journals spanning various research areas in computer science and engineering, including: distributed, information, and telecommunication systems, networks and security, and service-oriented and grid computing.

“…The SeCSE (Service Centric System Engineering) is an EU Integrated Project of the 6 th Framework Program that aims for developing processes, methods and tools to develop service-oriented systems (Colombo et al, 2005). The SeCSE project provides a conceptual model for service oriented systems describing actors, entities and activities relevant to the service domain, and relationships between them.…”

“…While the conceptual model of SeCSE addresses the various steps (e.g. publication, discovery, composition and monitoring) of the service-centric system creation process, the primary purpose of the model is to provide a common understanding for human readers about the main concepts involved (Colombo et al, 2005). The primary purpose of our framework and the corresponding conceptual model is to facilitate the infrastructure services and tools needed for instrumenting service ecosystems.…”

The recent increased use of Internet, social media, and networked business mark a development trend where software-based services flow to the open market for enabling service-oriented networked business. Our vision is that in future, organizations and individuals collaborate within open service ecosystems. An open service ecosystem is characterized especially by the autonomy of its entities, its evolution with respect to available services and collaboration types, and dynamic establishment of collaborations. For facilitating collaboration establishment in open service ecosystems features of services and cooperation facilities, and feature inter-dependencies need to be governed rigorously. Towards this purpose we have established a framework for unambiguous description of service ecosystem features. The framework comprises a conceptual model which provides especially a categorization of features, and a formalization of the conceptual model as a meta-model for service ecosystems. We show that the corresponding feature categories have their specific roles and semantics as part of different ecosystem elements and in different phases of service ecosystem processes.

“…The focus of SOSE is shifted from applications to services that are collaboratively developed by multiple SOA roles [9,10], such as service consumer, service provider, service broker. During the development process, activities like specification&modeling, design, implementation, testing, operation and maintenance are all required to be performed in a collaborative manner [11].…”

Abstract. Service-oriented System engineering (SOSE) and traditional software engineering mainly differ for their focus and aims. These differences are reflected by a number of aspects peculiar to SOSE (service aspects). In this paper we specifically discuss three service aspects: the relevance of cross-organizational collaboration, increased importance of the identification of stakeholders, and the need for increased effort at run-/change time. We argue that SOSE methodologies provide better guidance on their application when service aspects are emphasized in associated process models. By highlighting the three service aspects in a process model of the methodology defined in a large European project, we show specifically how each aspect provides guidance for engineering service-oriented systems in practice.
