Context

Rapidly-changing business requirements expect high business process flexibility that can be achieved using service oriented architecture (SOA). This requires enterprises to adopt SOA and assess their SOA adoption maturity to achieve continuous improvement. SOA realization demands service development with varying levels of granularity.

Objectives

The research aims to develop a methodical framework for SOA realization based on Welke's SOA maturity model, a model that assumes a methodology dimension. The framework is concerned with formalizing knowledge on how to identify and shape the main building blocks of a method at each maturity level.

Methods

The research applies the principles of design science research and method engineering to develop a methodical framework for SOA realization.

Results

The research identifies the gaps in SOA realization methods and illustrates how a methodical framework based on a maturity model facilitates the SOA adoption process. The evaluation results revealed that the framework would help enterprises to select method fragments required at each maturity level to accomplish business excellence.

Conclusion

The implications of this research are twofold: from a theoretical perspective, the researchers or practitioners can use the results for further study. From a practical standpoint, enterprises can use the methodical guidelines to assess their current maturity level and select and implement the required method fragments from the method base provided in the proposed framework.

面向服务的体系结构采用的方法框架：准则，构件和方法片段

语境

快速变化的业务需求期望使用面向服务的体系结构（SOA）可以实现高度的业务流程灵活性。这就要求企业采用SOA并评估其SOA采用成熟度以实现持续改进。要实现SOA，就需要开发具有不同粒度级别的服务。

目标

该研究旨在基于Welke的SOA成熟度模型（该模型假设一种方法论维度）来开发用于SOA实现的方法框架。该框架与形式化知识有关，该知识涉及如何在每个成熟度级别识别和塑造方法的主要构造块。

方法

该研究运用设计科学研究和方法工程学的原理来开发用于SOA实现的方法框架。

结果

该研究确定了SOA实现方法中的差距，并说明了基于成熟度模型的方法框架如何促进SOA采用过程。评估结果表明，该框架将帮助企业选择每个成熟度级别所需的方法片段，以实现卓越的业务。

结论

这项研究的意义是双重的：从理论上讲，研究人员或从业人员可以将结果用于进一步的研究。从实践的角度来看，企业可以使用方法指南来评估其当前的成熟度水平，并从建议的框架中提供的方法库中选择并实施所需的方法片段。
