certain advantages of service-oriented architecture have led to the spread of this type of architecture around the world. however, some special features of this type of architecture have led to more compromise between the security in the information system and other information systems. the purpose of this paper is to identify and examine the impact of factors and dimensions of the information ...

SOAMMI a new framework for evaluating capabilities for change of enterprise and service-oriented software architectures is introduced. Current approaches for assessing maturity of software architectures are intuitively developed, having sparse metamodel foundation and being hardly validated. This is a real problem because enterprise and software architects should know what the successful path f...

Existing empirical research on the business value of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) has only measured the extent of SOA adoption – but not maturity – to determine whether typical goals, like increased business agility or IT cost reduction, could be achieved. However, a widely implemented SOA might be less mature than an SOA adopted only in particular areas of the organization, which in tu...

194 Abstract– Using pattern as proved solution helps to achieve SOA strategic goals. Maturity models are parental framework for SOA roadmaps, and Architecture is an important dimension for maturity models. Architecture has different views, Usually Reference architecture and pattern languages present runtime view of architecture dimension. This paper presents pattern language that creates alloca...

The implementation of an enterprise-wide Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a complex task. In most cases, evolutional approaches are used to handle this complexity. Maturity models are a possibility to plan and control such an evolution as they allow evaluating the current maturity and identifying current shortcomings. In order to support an SOA implementation, maturity models should also ...

The SOA Innovation Lab investigates the use of standard software packages in a service-oriented context. As a part of this investigation the SOA capabilities of products from different vendors need to be evaluated. For this purpose a SOA architecture maturity framework has been developed, leveraging and extending CMMI and TOGAF, as well as other state-of-the art frameworks and methods. Besides ...

This paper defines a three-dimensional architectural framework, named Technology and Information Platform (TIP), to effectively handle the architecture complexity and manage the architectural assets of enterprise information systems in a service-oriented paradigm. This comprehensive model is composed of a Generic Architecture Stack (GAS) comprising a stack of architecture layers, and the contex...

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...
