An Ontology-Based Advisement Approach for SOA Design Patterns

Abstract

In order to address the practical requirements in SOA design and implementation, this paper proposes an ontology-based approach for SOA design pattern advisement. The state-of-the-art SOA design patterns are formalized with ontology in order to be selected by the algorithm, according to user requirements. With refined results of the algorithm, the final advisement is presented to the users. Experiments show that our approach achieves the minimal set of appropriate patterns and meets the demand of an advisement system in the field of SOA design.
