Optimal Clusters and Architectures in Complex Networks

Abstract

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) can be thought of as a way of defining and implementing applications that deals with the intercommunication of loosely coupled, coarse grained, reusable artifacts. Our previous studies employ increased frequency of a cluster in several processes as the only measure for forming a service. In this paper, we provide an alternative strategy for deciding if a single cluster is service worthy by examining the local and global structure of the workflow.
