Abstract

When developing service-centric software systems, which combine existing services to create new cross-organizational applications, software engineers must take on a more integrative role than in traditional software development. Specialized roles in this environment might be better defined as service-oriented software engineering and service-oriented software-integration engineering. As the SCSS approaches are adopted universally, these two roles will be important in specifying SOA environments both at design time and dynamically at runtime. This article is part of a special issue on service-centric software systems.
