Abstract:

A key process in the design of the service oriented architecture (SOA) system is to identify application level service from business models. An automated service identification method is provided based on clustering. Based on the business model of the C/U matrix, service identification is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem. An optimization objective function is presented that derives service design principles, such as coupling, cohesion, reusability and maintainability, and the solving method of the simulated annealing optimization is provided. A case is given to illustrate the method.
