Abstract

As a fundamental phrase in the life cycle in SOA, service identification has a huge impact in building up SOA based applications. Several service identification methods focus on the definitions of loosely coupled and a high cohesion inside services. There is a majority using business process as input. Because of the simplification of relation between process in most of the process modelling language, dependency between business process is ignored. However, dependency is an inevitable factor to performance of future system. In this paper, we proposed a procedure of dependency aware process analysis for service identification method to ensure not only the characteristics of SOA but also the dependency between services. With this procedure, we tried to have a group of services with visible dependency from analysing the business process and requirements.
