A Life-Cycle Model for Software Service Engineering

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 8135))

Abstract

Applying existing life-cycle models to software service engineering, we identify shortcomings: they do not focus on engineering activities, lack a clear underlying definition of software services, do not address both service roles of consumer and provider, and assume longevity and sequence of activities. We present a life-cycle model for software service engineering to tackle these shortcomings. We illustrate the model’s prescriptive use by applying it to assess software service variability and software service standardization.
