Abstract

Service-Oriented Architecture holds the potential of allowing the development on-the-fly of flexible applications that can adapt rapidly by combining and reusing existing services. We believe that in order to react swiftly and coherently to changes, an architecture must provide a capability to capture how services, and the more complex applications based on them, realize business motivations. This research develops a framework and a method for goal-driven, model-driven, and service-oriented design. The framework includes goal modeling in the MDA stack, from CIM to code. By using this framework, we are able to create a system that is compatible with its business goals, and thus is flexible when business demands change. A case study demonstrates how our framework can be used to combine MDA, SOA, and goal modeling with business rules as an architecture for a care service platform.
