Abstract

One of the key activities needed to construct a quality service-oriented solution is the specification of the architectural elements. The selection of an appropriate and proven method for specification of the elements consisting services, flows and components is thus quite crucial to the success of any service-based solution. Existing methods for service specification ignore the automation capability while focusing on human-based and error-prone processes. This paper proposes a novel method called ASSM (Automated Service Specification Method) that automatically specifies the architecturally significant elements of service model artifact. The proposed automated process helps to improve productivity, enforce architectural integrity and improve the quality of the solution when specifying the service model. Model transformations such as ASSM automate the labor and cost intensive activities and lead the architect to focus on more important activities, which need human intelligence, and eventually enable efficient development of service-based solutions.
