Applying Component Concepts to Service Oriented Design: A Case Study

Balbir Barn, Samia Oussena

2007

Abstract

This paper argues that appropriate modeling methods for service oriented development have not matured at the same pace as the technology because the conceptual underpinning that binds methods and technology has not been sufficiently articulated and developed. The paper describes an adaptation and enhancement of component based techniques to support the development of a service oriented method. As a result of the evaluation of using component concepts to support service oriented design, an integrated conceptual model describing how concepts from services and components are related is presented. The experimental data derives from a complex case study from the Higher Education Enterprise arena.
