Mapping Services to Activities in Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Design: A Simulation-Driven Optimizing Method Based on DODAF2.0

Abstract

In order to optimize the mapping between service composition and operational activities within the process of service oriented architecture design, a method based on the DODAF 2.0 is proposed to match operational activities with services. Firstly, related architectural description methods, including Object-oriented method and the formal method, are studied based on the DODAF2.0. Secondly, considering the probability and potential resource conflicts, basic process of Petri Net simulation model was created based on related architectural models, and the rationality of mapping from services to operational activities is verified by the execution of simulation models.
