9 also portrays two distinct hot spots, denoted by the end-points nodes 2.b and
2.c. These recommendations are identified as opportunities only, because each node does not provide
sufficient attributes for the conceptual service discovery and analysis phase. There are other
reasons why an attribution analysis process can merely recommend attributes as opportunities.
These can be sweet spot attributes that slightly diverge from business requirements but are still
close enough to fulfill them.
How should the forthcoming service identification and categorization process treat multiple
hot or sweet spot attribute sets? Remember, hot and sweet spots are merely attribute recommendations
that can enhance the range of choices provided to service-oriented practitioners. Thus,
business architects, service modelers, and service-oriented architects should not commit to specific
service attributes before properly analyzing and inspecting these recommendations.
