Abstract
An approach that selects a service oriented architecture (SOA) service is provided. In one embodiment, there is a service selection tool, including an identification component configured to identify a process that affects a business objective, and identify a set of functional capabilities of the process. A selection component is configured to select a set of candidate SOA services based on the set of functional capabilities of the process.
Claims20
A method for selecting a service oriented architecture (SOA) service comprising:
- identifying a process that affects a business objective;
- identifying a set of functional capabilities of the process;
- and
- selecting a set of candidate SOA services based on the set of functional capabilities of the process.
A system for selecting a service oriented architecture (SOA) service comprising:
- at least one processing unit;
- memory operably associated with the at least one processing unit;
- and
- a service selection tool storable in memory and executable by the at least one processing unit, the service selection tool comprising:
- an identification component configured to:
- identify a process that affects a business objective;
- identify a set of functional capabilities of the process;
- and
- a selection component configured to select a set of candidate SOA services based on the set of functional capabilities of the process.
A computer-readable medium storing computer instructions, which when executed, enables a computer system to select a service oriented architecture (SOA) service, the computer instructions comprising:
- identifying a process that affects a business objective;
- identifying a set of functional capabilities of the process;
- and
- selecting a set of candidate SOA services based on the set of functional capabilities of the process.
A method for deploying a service selection tool for use in a computer system that provides selection of a service oriented architecture (SOA) service, comprising:
- providing a computer infrastructure operable to:
- identify a process that affects a business objective;
- identify a set of functional capabilities of the process;
- and
- select a set of candidate SOA services based on the set of functional capabilities of the process.
