20 Ch. 1 Introduction
3. Structural expansion patterns. A collection of structural patterns that expand a distributed
service environment and widen a deployed architecture scope
4. Structural contraction patterns. An assortment of structural patterns that facilitate the
reduction of a distributed service landscape and contraction of architecture
SUMMARY
r
The service-oriented discovery and analysis discipline consists of two major processes:
service identification and analysis.
r
The service-oriented analysis process is repeated in four major analysis iterations: incep-
tion, assessment, verification, and authentication.
r
The discovery process calls for service identification in five different iterations: concept
discovery, post-proposition, design time, construction time, and run-time.
r
The analysis proposition is the final artifact of the service-oriented discovery and analysis.
r
There are three major service-oriented discovery and analysis principles that should be
embraced by practitioners: transparency, virtual modeling, and adoption of patterns.
r
The service-oriented discovery and analysis modeling language support three major states:
as-is, used-to-be, and to-be.
r
The service-oriented discovery and analysis offers five pattern categories: discovery and
analysis road map patterns, service identification patterns, service categorization patterns,
contextual analysis and modeling patterns, and structural analysis and modeling patterns.
Notes
1. The service-oriented discovery and analysis discipline is a part of the service-oriented modeling framework (SOMF)
that is featured in Michael Bell, Service-Oriented Modeling: Service Analysis, Design, and Architecture (Hoboken,
NJ: John Wiley & Sons, 2008).
2. The service-oriented analysis process can be embedded in any existing organizational development and operations
life cycle stage
3. The service-oriented analysis governing process discussed is inspired by Richard Veryard, an author on business
modeling and SOA governance. Refer to Chapter 2 for a detailed discussion of his contribution.
4. The service-oriented discovery process can be incorporated in any organization development and operations life
stage.
5. Start the service-oriented discovery and analysis process by studying the road map patterns offered in Chapters 2
through 4. Carving a personal and an organizational strategy should then follow.
