SMDA: A Service Model Driven Architecture

Abstract

As service industry has gradually been the domination of world economy, research and practice on service and service system development is now flourishing as a hotspot in both academia and industry. Service engineering, referring to the methodology for service system modeling, development and deployment with the support of information technologies, has great significance to improve the quality and efficiency of service enterprises. However, until today there are still lack of enough attentions on such methodology. To address this issue, in this paper we present a service-oriented model driven architecture named SMDA, which extends UML to USML to describe service model and support the interoperability between heterogeneous service model, uses service component to build service system and adopts a QFD based service evaluation method to evaluate the service models and service system. This paper is to provide solution for establishing service systems to respond customer requirements in an “agile” style.
