The implementation of service-oriented device architectures (SODA) suffers from restrictions that are imposed by the use of existing syntactic technologies. Related problems include data and message-level heterogeneities among interoperating services, insufficient search and discovery of exposed services and inadequate web process composition. In this paper we propose an approach for introducin...

Over the past years, Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) Systems have been recognized more and more as a serious alternative to common monolithic systems for Enterprise Architectures (EA). An SOA provides a flexible means of effectively mapping business processes to IT processes. However, large IT systems require consistent leadership – IT Governance. For SOAs, governance faces new challenges. ...

Abstract: The SOA Innovation Lab presents a holistic approach for the development of a service-oriented enterprise architecture with custom and standard software packages. Starting point is the construction and analysis of company domain maps with respect to characteristics of SOA and standard software. After assessing the SOA ability of standard software packages within an architecture maturit...

The rapid globalization of world enterprises and the pressing need to provide networks and services more responsive to the “end users” push the telecommunications world towards rapid service deployment and new integrated value-added technology solutions. Service orientation, initially introduced in Intelligent Networks and currently further exploited within the Service Oriented Architectures (S...

The study of adaptivity, i.e., the capability to react to changes in the environment, is becoming ever more important in many fields of study, and in the development of software in particular. This paper presents a systematic review in which both the extension and complexity of this notion are examined. After studying the influence from external fields, this review checks the hypothesis of usin...

The field of enterprise architecture attracted the attention of the research community for the first time when Zachman introduced the Framework for Information Systems Architecture in 1987. However, it was not until 1996 that enterprise architecture emerged as an active field of business activity and research. Enterprise architecture (EA) is important because organizations need to adapt with in...

Due to the increasing complexity and heterogeneity of contemporary Command, Control, Communications, Computers, & Intelligence systems at all levels within military organizations, the adoption of the Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) principles and concepts is becoming essential. SOA provides flexibility and interoperability of services enabling the realization of efficient and modular infor...

Service Providers often struggle with fluctuating demand of service requests which can lead to prolonged waiting times and hence to dissatisfaction of customers. Therefore, service providers strive for volume flexibility to cope with this challenge. In manufacturing context, a shift of excess demand to an external partner is already common practice while service providers reacted reluctantly to...

In recent times Massive Multiplayer Online Game has appeared as a computer game that enables hundreds of players from all parts of the world to interact in a game world (common platform) at the same time instance. Current architecture used for MMOGs based on the classic tightly coupled distributed system. While, MMOGs are getting more interactive same time number of interacting users is increas...
