Abstract
The focus of COTS-based systems development and research at present is on COTS products and on the building of integrated systems from COTS components. However, the COTS products approach to delivering software functionality has some limitations. In particular, such systems are static in nature and are not easily adapted to meet the needs of emergent organisations – ”organisations in a state of continual process change, never arriving, always in transition. An alternative is to provide software functionality as a COTS-based service – which is composed from COTS component services selected, accessed, and paid for on demand. The poster will present a model of COTS-based software service engineering and the key issues that need to be addressed in order to realise the model A demonstrator information broker which has been implemented using a service-oriented architecture will also be described.
