Streamline SOA enablement by two-way service brokering model

Abstract

SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) has been regarded as the most critical technique for business agility. However, cross-organization SOA application has not been widely adopted due to the lack of an effective enablement mechanism. Hence, we propose an approach to streamline SOA enablement by two-way service broking in this paper. Firstly, a conceptual two-way service broking model is presented. Then, this model is reified to standardize the process of SOA enablement in the cross-organization context. Finally, the rationality and feasibility of the proposed model are validated through a prototype on top of a SOA fabric. © 2007 IEEE.
