2 Sets can also be leveraged to construct inner set structures??”meaning sets within
sets. Employ this approach to realize service-oriented analysis goals by manipulating these collective
formations to discover new services, achieve better reusability rates, consolidate assets,
and refine business or technological propositions. Moreover, utilizing these nested set formation
features broadens analysis capabilities and facilitates simplification of complex aggregated service
structures, such as composite and cluster formations.
SERVICE-ORIENTED ANALYSIS ASSETS
How can the set paradigm help in analyzing service commonalities? What type of service structures
can be analyzed? The next few sections introduce service-oriented analysis operations to

assist in dissecting, partitioning, and aggregating service-oriented assets. In fact, these are the
tools commonly used to perform logical operations on set members. ???Logical??? means not only
manipulating services??™ internal and external structures but also addressing business and technological
process distribution among services. This may include process decoupling, eliminating
activities, or even augmenting business processes. There are three types of service-oriented assets
that typically take part in analysis activities. Each asset is potentially regarded as a set.
