Abstract

Reusability is one of the most prominent service principles that can reduce cost of solution ownership when design services for reuse. The concept of reuse is supported by and can enable a number of complementary service principles that makes its analysis complicated. However, well-engineered business capabilities could be encapsulates within a well-designed interface to produce more reusable composite services. There are several prescriptive guidelines help to ensure that your service candidates attain a balance of proper logic encapsulation and adherence to the standard description, but there is no quantitative metric to get ensured that a given composite service has and to what extent different versions of a composite service differ in reusability capability. This work is to propose a quantitative metric to measure the reusability of composite services. The approach is based on the analysis of Description and Logic Mismatch Probability of a composite service will be reused within potential solutions. By adopting this metric, service reusability analysis could be conduct quantitatively that leads to realize an optimized service-oriented solution in terms of its reusability.
