This article presents a novel method and development paradigm that proposes a general template for an enterprise information structure and allows for the automatic generation and modification of enterprise workflows. This dynamically integrated workflow development approach utilises a conceptual ontology of domain processes and tasks, enterprise charts, and enterprise entities. It also suggests...

For interactions to be possible within the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) ecosystem, each actor must be enough confident of other actors to engage safely in the interactions. Therefore, the establishing of objective metrics tailored to the context of SOA that show security of a system and lead to enhancements is very attractive. The purpose of our paper is to present a GQM (Goal Question M...

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been proposed as both a technical and managerial solution in making firms more agile in addressing ever changing business needs. This conceptual paper identifies 3 levels of SOA implementation maturity: 1. Stability, 2. Flexibility, 3. Sense and Respond. A process and governance strategy on how to achieve each level is theorized and supported by case exam...

Existing assessment and improvement models of software testing process mainly intend to raise maturity of an organization with reference to testing activities. Such process assessments are based on what testing activities are being carried out, and thus implicitly evaluate process quality. Other test process measurement techniques attempt to directly assess some partial quality attribute such a...

Current practices for assessing maturity of service-oriented enterprise information architectures only provide a sparse metamodel and pattern foundation and were rarely validated. This is a real problem for practical architecture assessments in repeated (cyclic) evaluations of serviceoriented systems. In preliminary research we have developed and validated an original pattern language for suppo...
