Approaches to the Evolution of SOA Systems

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Emerging Trends in the Evolution of Service-Oriented and Enterprise Architectures

Part of the book series: Intelligent Systems Reference Library ((ISRL,volume 111))

Abstract

The evolution of Services Oriented Architectures (SOA) presents many challenges due to their complex, dynamic and heterogeneous nature. We describe how SOA design principles can facilitate SOA evolvability and examine several approaches to support SOA evolution. SOA evolution approaches can be classified based on the level of granularity they address, namely, service code level, service interaction level and model level. We also discuss emerging trends, such as microservices and knowledge-based support, which can enhance the evolution of future SOA systems.
