enterprise modeling in a service oriented architecture
Service-oriented computing (SOC) is a new paradigm that allows organizations to tailor their business processes, in such a way that efficiency and effectiveness goals will be achieved by outsourcing (parts of) business processes to web-based service-providers. In order to find the computing service-providers that provide the organizations with the biggest benefits, it is paramount that the service-requesting organization (SRO) has a precise description of the service it wants to have delivered by the service delivering organization (SDO). In this paper we will illustrate how enterprises that play the SDO and SRO roles can be conceptually integrated by creating conceptual models that share the definitions of the business processes within the service oriented architecture (SOA) framework.
