SOADM: A Design Architectural Method for Service-as-a-Software

Abstract

Service-Oriented Software Engineering is a new approach that concerns with methods to build
software solutions as services and compositions with respect to service orientation and service-oriented
architecture. Several methods from both academia and industry have been developed for service-oriented
based systems. This work first questions “to what extent a solution provided by a method would conform
to service orientation, particularly, how to examine the design decisions based on quality attributesâ€, and
“to what extent the method would align solutions with problemsâ€. Next, it proposes a framework for
shaping methods. The framework considers the perspectives. Then, it propose a SOADM, a method for
developing Service-as-a Software (SaaS) in high level design based on functional requirements and
quality attributes.
