Abstract
Interoperability is by nature an evolving and highly dynamic practice which requires being aligned to suitable IT infrastructure characterised by agility, flexibility, adaptability and essentially the modularity features. A contemporary approach for addressing these critical issues is the Service Oriented Architecture. We develop a novel enterprise architecture: the Service Oriented Enterprise. In this architecture, we define two levels of service abstraction: the IT services and the business services in which we can distinguish the business components and the business objects. Business components are well defined blocks that can be used to create a new business model. They are designed in a way to be adaptive and context-aware. Consequently, interoperability in both intra and inter enterprise side will be easier and depending only on both: the right choice of business component and the orchestration process. So a particular attention must be paid to the business components identification phase. This paper, therefore, introduces a process for the identification of business components based on grouping matrix which group enterprise business objects and identified functionalities resulting from goal based functional decomposition.
