A Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) can be created through the use of various approaches; among them, service identification from business process models is recognized as a promising starting point. In this approach, the concept of modularization plays an important role. Modularization is also central to the aspect-oriented business process modeling (AO-BPM) approach. We understand that the combination of these two approaches can bring improvements to service identification. This paper proposes adaptations to an existing service identification method using, as input, an aspect-oriented business process modeling approach. An example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposal.
