Abstract

Nowadays organizations require an effective governance framework for their service-oriented architecture (SOA) in order to enable them to use a framework to evaluate their current state governance and determine the governance requirements, and then to offer a suitable model for their governance. Various frameworks have been developed to evaluate the SOA governance. In this paper, a brief introduction to the internal control framework COBIT is described, and it is used to show how to develop a framework to evaluate the SOA governance within an organization. The SOA and information technology expert surveys are carried out to evaluate the proposed framework. The results of this survey verify the proposed framework.

Summary

Introduction

SOA has created opportunities to provide loosely-coupled and interoperable services to service the providers at different Quality of Service (QoS) and cost levels in a number of service domains. This provides a unique opportunity for businesses to dynamically select services that better meet their business and QoS needs in a cost-effective manner [4]. An organization can provide high quality and reliable services, while SOA governance is successful. This framework ensures the alignment of SOA governance with business, IT with SOA strategy It is useful in identifying the competencies and current processes of an organization.
