Supporting Service Design Decisions

The composite service design modeling is an essential process of the service-oriented software development life cycle, where the candidate services, composite services, operations and their dependencies are required to be identified and specified before their design. However, a systematic service-oriented design modeling method for composite services is still in its infancy as most of the existing approaches provide the modeling of atomic services only. For these reasons, a new method (ComSDM) is proposed in this work for modeling the concept of service-oriented design to increase the reusability and decrease the complexity of system while keeping the service composition considerations in mind. Furthermore, the ComSDM method provides the mathematical representation of the components of service-oriented design using the graph-based theoryto facilitate the design quality measurement. To demonstrate that the ComSDM method is also suitable for composite service design modeling of distributed embedded real-time systems along with enterprise software development, it is implemented in the case study of a smart home. The results of the case study not only check the applicability of ComSDM, but can also be used to validate the complexity and reusability of ComSDM. This also guides the future research towards the design quality measurement such as using the ComSDM method to measure the quality of composite service design in service-oriented software system.

This chapter focuses on the identification and specification of services based on prior modeled business processes and legacy systems. The resulting service interfaces and service components formalized by using the Service oriented architecture Modeling Language (SoaML) describe the integration of legacy systems into a service-oriented application landscape. The legacy systems provide services for integration purposes and represent the implementations of service components. Additionally, the resulting architecture allows functionality of legacy systems to be replaced with functionality provided by external cloud services. According to model-driven development concepts, the formalized service interfaces and service components as part of the service designs can be used to automatically derive service interface descriptions using the Web Services Description Language (WSDL). These descriptions enable the technical integration of legacy systems. If necessary, service implementations based on the Service Component Architecture (SCA) and the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) can be generated.
