Process Oriented Dependency Modelling for Service Identification

Part 3: Finance and Service ScienceInternational audienceService-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is important for organisations to achieve dynamic business process and build business agility. One of the first step for service oriented applications implementation is to properly identify a set of fine-grained services. A right service granularity is necessary to satisfy lower coupling and higher cohesion principles for reusable software services. To meet this challenge, a lot of efforts have been attached to support service identification. In this paper, by considering the dependency combined with the idea of graph partition, a service identification method is proposed from the business process’s perspective. The illustration example has shown its promising and it is expected that the proposed service identification method can offer researchers further insight into service granularity analysis
