  • Patent number: 10789241
    Abstract: A method and associated system for generating a service specification of a solution. Each process of at least one process is decomposed into at least one atomic service process. The service specification of the solution to be compatible with both a process model framework that includes the at least one process and a data model framework that includes at least one data element that is indirectly matched to the at least one process. The service specification represents a respective process interface of each atomic service process that performs a respective atomic service in the solution. The customized service specification is stored in a database.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9411833
    Abstract: A method and associated system for generating a service specification of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) solution. Each process of at least one process is decomposed into at least one atomic service process. The service specification of the SOA solution to be compatible with both a process model framework that includes the at least one process and a data model framework that includes at least one data element that is indirectly matched to the at least one process. The service specification represents a respective process interface of each atomic service process that performs a respective atomic service in the SOA solution. The customized service specification is stored in a database.

  • Patent number: 9002853
    Abstract: A system and associated method for automatically generating a service specification of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) solution. A process model framework and a data model framework are received as inputs. Processes in the process model framework perform services of various complexity levels. Processes are decomposed into a respective set of atomic service processes in the lowest complexity level and data objects are extracted from the decomposed atomic service processes. The data objects are associated with data elements of the data model framework. The data model framework is extended and flexibility patterns are added for reusability of the service specification. The service specification of the SOA solution is generated as process interfaces represented with the data objects according to inputs from a user customizing aspects of the service specification, for either a desired service of the SOA solution or a desired process in the process model framework.
