Towards a Taxonomy Framework of Evolution for SOA Solution: From a Practical Point of View

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 7652))

Abstract

Presently, the research on evolution of SOA solution is becoming more and more important in industry. It is necessary to extract a taxonomy framework for evolution of SOA solution because by using it, evolution of SOA-based systems can be analyzed and compared comprehensively and objectively. In this paper, a taxonomy framework for evolution of SOA solution is proposed that is illustrated from four perspectives: (a) motivations for evolutionary changes (why), (b) locations where evolutionary changes happen (where), (c) times when evolutionary changes happen (when), and (d) support mechanisms in the process of evolutionary changes (how). Furthermore, the taxonomy framework is applied on analyzing a SOA-based configurable system for urban logistics delivery management, as an application of taxonomy framework.
