Service-Oriented Modeling Framework 23
??? Coordinating analysis sessions to enable analysis operations such as service decomposition,
aggregation, and unification.
??? Facilitating analysis modeling sessions to devise an analysis proposition. These activities
yield a service-oriented analysis model that can be further utilized in the design and
architecture phases.
??? Encouraging alignment of business and technology strategies that can facilitate proper
service-oriented business integration.
LOGICAL ENVIRONMENT. A logical environment supports the transformation of analysis services
into more tangible assets called design services. This environment also depicts a visual
view of the logical landscape in which service relationship, structures, and behaviors illustrate
a wireframe solution to an organizational concern. Moreover, on the service architecture front,
the logical environment framework facilitates the creation of a logical architecture that depicts
an integrated service-oriented ecosystem where packaged services collaborate to provide a viable
solution. This includes the following activities:
??? Conducting service-oriented design and architecture training sessions to promote best
practices and standards
??? Encouraging research integrated development environments (IDEs) that offer service relationship
establishment capabilities, service structure modeling, and transaction modeling
??? Utilizing software tools to enable efficient message orchestration and expression of logic
flow
??? Providing laboratory facilities so that a proof-of-concept can be conducted to examine
the proposed service ecosystem
??? Facilitating the establishment of contracts between consumers and their corresponding
services
SERVICE-ORIENTED MODELING FRAMEWORK
Before moving on to the chapters that describe in detail the modeling disciplines and their activities,
let us take an overall view of the service-oriented modeling framework.
