A Model-Driven Governance Analysis Tool for SOA-Based Systems

摘要

Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) can be used for the design and creation of reusable business services that may be shared across the company. The complexity of the business processes, and their changing environment sheds a highly complex SOA architecture solution as a result. Without an adequate control measure SOA could quickly lead to be unmanageable for IT administrators and architects. In this paper we propose a strategy based on Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) to provide support to architecture governance, allowing the definition of policies on SOA systems as well as the assessment of these policies within the solution architecture.
