Business Intelligence (BI) has become one of the most important research areas that help organizations and managers to better decision making process. This paper aims to show the barriers to BI adoption and discusses the most commonly used Business Intelligence Maturity Models (BIMMs). The aim also is to highlight the pitfalls of these BIMMs in order reach a solution. Using new techniques such ...

With the adoption to Web service technologies, more and more existing non-service-oriented software systems turn to be legacy systems. They require a service-oriented reengineering process in order to survive in serviceoriented computing environment. In this paper, we present an architecture-based service-oriented approach to support service-oriented reengineering. It integrates and reuses soft...

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) technology enables composition of large and complex computational units out of the available atomic services. Implementation of SOA brings about challenges which include service discovery, service interaction, service composition, robustness, quality of service, security, etc. These challenges are mainly due to the dynamic nature of SOA. SOAmay often need to ...

The dissemination of information systems over computer networks has reinforced the interest on distributed database management systems (DDBMS). A review on the architecture of such systems is motivated by the wide availability of networking resources, which allows the cost of communication among the nodes to be reduced. Besides, the coming of age of syntactic interoperability standards, such as...

Architectural principles such as loose coupling are the key drivers behind the adoption of service-oriented architectures. Service-oriented architectures promote concepts such as composition, process modeling, protocol design, declarative programming, event-based programming, and object-document mapping. These architectural ideals can be fraught with challenges for developers who are faced with...

To support the difficult process of SOA adoption, SOA maturity models are published. In this thesis a literature analysis introduces the area of SOA maturity models and highlights benefits and criticism. As a result, the combined SOA maturity model (CSOAMM), a model to facilitate the interpretation and comparison of SOA maturity models, is proposed. CSOAMM is a model with 10 levels that describ...

The paper argues that attitudes to SOA follow a typical hype cycle from Technological Trigger, Peak of Inflated Expectations, and a Trough of Disillusionment to the more recent realisation that SOA is a concept that may offer certain benefits but has several limitations. The main research question studies how the attitude to SOA changes in various phases of the hype cycle, how the SOA implement...
