Abstract |
As Service-Oriented Architecture becomes the industry standard to deliver complex, reusable and reliable services, while at the same time traditional economic and strategy analysis methodologies are still used to achieve business performance, the need to smoothly make a transition from the early service design stages to service implementation (and vice-versa) is critical. Service Networks offer the required level of abstraction for this effort to yield fruit, as they study both existing and emerging business relations between service providers and service consumers. We aim at developing a Service Network-centric framework for modeling, studying, developing and monitoring services in complex Service Ecosystems, where all involved stakeholders can provide and extract information to facilitate their needs. In this work we propose the Service Network meta-model, that identifies all entities participating in a Service Network and imprints their strategic goals and requirements. We also present a simple cost - revenue model to enable Service Network calculations. To support our methodology we have developed the Service Network Analysis & Prediction Tool (SNAPT). SNAPT follows a flexible Model-Driven Architecture approach to allow for the integration with future extended Service Network models. As a result, SNAPT is designed to serve as an intermediate Service System design and analysis platform. To demonstrate the application of Service Network analysis in Service Ecosystems, we also present an iterative process that exploits Service Networks to enable better service selection in the automotive industry domain using User Requirements techniques.
