A Model to Helping the Construction of Creative Service-Based Software

Abstract

With the advent of the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) in system design, various domain knowledges are included in a service-based application, such as the design of Artificial Intelligence (AI) or augmented reality (AR) systems. While merging one or multiple domains into computation systems, the computation systems can be widely applied in various domain usages with novelty, useful, and surprising properties, which are defined as systems of creative computing. In creative computing, several theoretical evaluation metrics and verification approaches have been proposed for system design in several domains. However, a solid practical design environment for creative service-based systems is rarely considered in current researches. In this paper, we propose a model for creative service software development based on semantic web, which is applied in two phases: (1) requirement specification and (2) service design. In order to bridge the knowledge gap between domain experts and software engineers, and provide a machine-readable format for creative computing, two sub-models, Requirement Specification and Service Structure Models, are constructed in both phases, sequentially. After the latter sub-model is validated, the creative service software is well-constructed based on the services definition and composition represented by the model.
