Gopala Krishna Behara, Srikanth Inaganti · 2007
SOA Management covers the Management and Monitoring of applications, services, processes, middleware, infrastructure, and software tools in accordance with the business goals. Managing SOA is a multi-faced task, as it covers IT Management and Business Service Management. Service management can be classified into two areas (i) Runtime (ii) Design time. Some of the activities involved in runtime may trigger activities in design time. Design time activities are part of the service development and maintenance lifecycle. The majority of the service management aspects concentrate on Registry, Repository, Metamodel, Configurability, Policy Management and Enforcement, and Operational aspects of service infrastructure. This paper consolidates the management of SOA at different layers and the various challenges that are faced for SOA management.
