Novel software engineering attitudes for bussiness-oriented information systems

Abstract

Modern ICT technologies should and can be more business and businessmen-friendly than they are now. We discuss a variant of service-oriented architecture solving this challenge. The architecture is a network of the analogues of real-life services communicating by exchange of business documents via a network of organizational (architecture) services. The architecture is especially useful in small-to-medium enterprises – generally in the cases when sourcing and dynamic business processes are used. It is also useful for e-government systems. It has many business as well as technical/engineering advantages. The architecture enables a smooth collection of transparent data for management and research. It further enables business document oriented communication of business services and simplifies the collaboration of users with developers.
