An integrated approach for RUP, EA, SOA and BPM implementation
Juan Pablo Napoli, Kalinka Kaloyanova · 2011
In the software industry there are new major technology trends - i.e. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Business Process Management (BPM) and Enterprise Architecture - that had already gained enough popularity and adoption to have a stance on their own in the community of practice, but that have not been successfully incorporated into the standard set of software development practices. This creates a window of opportunity for the Software Engineering (SE) researchers to evaluate the inclusion of these new concepts into the existing software development process. This paper introduces the idea of an integrated framework with the aim of supporting the inclusion of SOA, BPM and EA into the Rational Unified Process (RUP). We expect that the current work will support future researchers in finding the proper path to achieve consensus for the inclusion of the mentioned topics into a common framework.
