A Model for exploring the Service-oriented Software Engineering (SOSE) challenges
Gu, Q., Patricia Lago · VU Research Portal · 2007
Service-oriented software engineering (SOSE) aims to design, develop and maintain service oriented applications in a systematic approach. Due to the complexity that is introduced when software programs as services can be discovered, composed, instantiated, executed at runtime, SOSE poses new challenges in the way software is engineered as opposed to traditional software systems. In order for service-oriented systems to succeed, a well focused SOSE research agenda is needed. This paper proposes a model that can help researchers to identify the novelty of SOSE challenges and their research scope, and thus further helps to build the SOSE research agenda. To give an example of how to apply the proposed model, this paper explores the SOSE challenges that relate to business benefits by presenting a worked out instance of the model.
