Application and Data Integration Based on Services Oriented Architecture in Enterprise

Business process changes occurred very often in organizations to maintain business continuity, which had an impact on information changes and process flow improvements. There are numerous companies that have problems managing data, information, and software applications, especially with the constant demands for employee information. This research objective is to integrate data and applications based on service-oriented architecture (SOA) by using the service-oriented modelling architecture (SOMA) software development method to solve the problem of producing updated and real-time information practically required by organization functions. This research result shows this implementation can help analyze the company's business model by generating information needs and service candidates that refer to SOA concepts. This implementation also gives a solid integration of in-house applications with different platforms and data sources from different databases with real time information. From a technical point of view, this implementation also reduces the duplication of business process functions and in-house application management, as well as simplifying and accelerating the creation of new or updating in-house applications related to new information requirements of the company. It was found that the SOMA framework can also be employed as a reference for companies developing future applications with SOA basics. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-02-011 Full Text: PDF

Perancangan Arsitektur Enterprise FMIPA UNTAN Menggunakan Kerangka Kerja TOGAF Berbasis SOA

The research aims to develop an Enterprise Architecture from FMIPA UNTAN, this is based on the many individual information systems that have been developed by FMIPA UNTAN which are not integrated in data and technology. This situation results in overlapping data that can affect the effectiveness of decision making within the organization. The designed Enterprise Architecture implements the concept of service-oriented architecture in order to support the integration between the business layer and the organization's technology layer. To support the research, several concepts are used, such as TOGAF as a framework for developing Enterprise Architecture, Service Oriented Architecture as a supporter for integration of architectural layers, and Archimate and Business Process Modeling Notation as a modeling language used to create architectural artifacts. The stages of the research included problem identification, the Enterprise Architecture development process followed the stages of TOGAF ADM namely the preliminary phase, architectural vision, business architecture, information system architecture, technology architecture, and making an architecture implementation roadmap. The results of the development of Enterprise Architecture are architectural artifacts consisting of catalogs, matrices, and diagrams of business, information system, and technology architecture. Based on the design results, it is found that the Enterprise Service Bus concept in Service Oriented Architecture can be used to support application and data integration in organization, as well as the concept of service access can bridge the gap between the business layer and the technology layer.

Comparative Analysis Between High Level Architecture (HLA) and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) in the Field of Military Modelling and Simulation

Abstract Modelling and simulation is a major area of interest for states and international organizations in the context of the operational environment characterized by complexity, dynamism and unpredictability. At the moment, in NATO, the standard architecture for the field of modelling and simulation is High Level Architecture (HLA), but lately the concept of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has aroused the interest of specialists within the Alliance. In this paper, a comparative analysis is performed between the two types of architectures in order to determine the optimal variant for the field of military modelling and simulation. Following the analysis, it was concluded that a combined approach of the two types of architectures is needed to maximize the efficiency of modelling and simulation applications.

Function-oriented approach to mining enterprise automation

Nowadays a production enterprise is inconceivable without the automation of all its processes – technological, production, and managerial. The efficiency of an enterprise largely depends on high-quality data processing within a single information space. The introduction of an integrated automated management system for an industrial enterprise, consistent with the business model, will eliminate many of the problems arising during creation, integration and development of automated systems, will create an effective enterprise management system and will reduce future costs of production modernization. Current trends of digital transformation increase the demand for an integrated business management system model, that would include a model of an integrated information management system as an integral part of it. The study aims to develop a reference functional model of mining enterprises, including a comprehensive vision of business, production and technological processes and their IT support. The model proposed is based on the analysis of existing international industry approaches to automation, as well as the experience and best practices of automation of mining enterprises. The methodological foundations of the research include enterprise architecture approach (including the concept of service-oriented architecture) and authors' function-oriented approach for engineering the IT architecture. The article describes a reference functional model of a mining enterprise, on the basis of which the structure of the mining enterprise IT-architecture functional structure is determined. The function-oriented approach for engineering IT-architecture as a reflection of the business functional structure is a good example of the symmetry phenomena in enterprise management. Further research will be devoted to the issues of designing an information exchange model and a data architecture model for the mining value chain and its individual parts in interconnection, as well as reflecting end-to-end processes of mining enterprises in the IT architecture based on the developed model for determining the boundaries of functional blocks of information systems

SOA enabled ELTA: approach in designing business intelligence solutions in Era of Big Data

The current work presents a new approach for designing business intelligence solutions. In the Era of Big Data, former and robust analytical concepts and utilities need to adapt themselves to the changed market circumstances. The main focus of this work is to address the acceleration of building process of a “data-centric” Business Intelligence (BI) solution besides preparing BI solutions for Big Data utilization. This research addresses the following goals: reducing the time spent during business intelligence solution’s design phase; achieving flexibility of BI solution by adding new data sources; and preparing BI solution for utilizing Big Data concepts. This research proposes an extension of the existing Extract, Load and Transform (ELT) approach to the new one Extract, Load, Transform and Analyze (ELTA) supported by service-orientation concept. Additionally, the proposed model incorporates Service-Oriented Architecture concept as a mediator for the transformation phase. On one side, such incorporation brings flexibility to the BI solution and on the other side; it reduces the complexity of the whole system by moving some responsibilities to external authorities.

Ambient intelligence governance review: from service-oriented to self-service.

The current generation of connected devices and the Internet of Things augment people’s capabilities through ambient intelligence. Ambient Intelligence (AmI) support systems contain applications consuming available services in the environment to serve users. A well-known design of these applications follows a service architecture style and implement artificial intelligence mechanisms to maintain an awareness of the context: The service architecture style enables the distribution of capabilities and facilitates interoperability. Intelligence and context-awareness provide an adaptation of the environment to improve the interaction. Smart objects in distributed deployments and the increasing machine awareness of devices and people context also lead us to architectures, including self-governed policies providing self-service. We have systematically reviewed and analyzed ambient system governance considering service-oriented architecture (SOA) as a reference model. We applied a systematic mapping process obtaining 198 papers for screening (out of 712 obtained after conducting searches in research databases). We then reviewed and categorized 68 papers related to 48 research projects selected by fulfilling ambient intelligence and SOA principles and concepts. This paper presents the result of our analysis, including the existing governance designs, the distribution of adopted characteristics, and the trend to incorporate service in the context-aware process. We also discuss the identified challenges and analyze research directions.

Service-oriented architecture for Internet of Things: A semantic approach

The Internet of Things (IoT) aids an interconnection between systems, humans, and services to develop computation-intensive autonomous applications. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) concepts have been used as defacto software architecture to develop IoT-based systems. Though SOA facilitates various benefits, several challenges exist for integration with IoT-based systems, including configurability, interoperability, and manageability. The ontology-based approach provides a semantically enriched and rigorous platform for interoperating different heterogeneous IoT-based systems and applications. The semantic modelling research has focused on IoT resource management without concerning the method of accessing and utilizing IoT information. In this context, an IoT-based large-scale SOA (IoT-LSS) ontology is proposed that supports interoperability, heterogeneity, flexibility, manageability, extendibility, scalability. This ontology integrates the concept of large-scale SOA (LSS) with semantic sensor network (SSN) ontology. Clinical decision support system (CDSS) ontology has considered as a case study to illustrate the proposed ontology. A detailed comparative analysis between the proposed system and several existing IoT-based service ontologies has been performed based on different characteristics. This analysis shows that IoT-LSS supports dynamic features and exposes to service with its different mechanisms. This article presents an ontological framework for the IoT service-based environment to efficiently use for service composition mechanisms in the large service domain.

Directions for future research on the integration of SOA, BPM, and BRM

PurposeDigital transformation has been changing the economic environment of enterprises in recent years. To remain competitive, they rely on an extensible software architecture, flexible workflow execution, and automated decision management. The concepts of service-oriented architectures (SOA), business process management (BPM), and business rules management (BRM) provide an adequate, yet isolated means of addressing many of these requirements. The paper aims to discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approachThis study adapts from established research frameworks to structure the current state of research on the integration of SOA, BPM and BRM. The authors highlight the current research scope, point to disregarded topics and sketch out multidisciplinary research approaches.FindingsWhile the three concepts are often discussed only in isolation or pairwise, approaches that integrate them are scarce. Against this backdrop, this study defines three types of research opportunities and identifies several directions for future research that should be explored from a technological as well as organizational perspective. Given the breadth of open questions, the authors present sources for each area of our research framework, which can serve as starting points for future investigations.Practical implicationsExcept for well-established support for separate tasks and technologies, there is a lack of integrated standards, methods and platforms, which for example enable integrated decision-making across BPM and SOA.Originality/valueOur contribution builds on established frameworks and clearly shows that the discussion on the integration of SOA, BPM and BRM cannot yet be regarded as sufficient. The research agenda highlights which areas explicitly benefit from a more precise consideration.

Autonomous Decentralized Service Oriented Architecture Concept and Application for Mission Critical Information Systems

Autonomous Decentralized Service Oriented Architecture Concept and Application for Mission Critical Information Systems

Toward federated mission networking in the tactical domain

NATO is currently working on the Federated Mission Networking (FMN) concept, which will become the foundation for establishing mission networks in the future. The realization of the FMN concept is described in the NATO FMN Implementation Plan (NFIP). The information infrastructure outlined in NFIP today builds on the concept of service-oriented architecture in order to achieve interoperability, and bases itself on many of the same standards and specifications as the ones identified through NATO Network Enabled Capabilities (NNEC). The NNEC SOA Baseline [1] identifies a number of core enterprise services that represent the common functionality needed to build an interoperable service-oriented infrastructure in a federation. It further identifies which standards should be used to realize these core services while ensuring interoperability between the federation members. A subset of these capabilities includes messaging services, collaboration services, service discovery, and security services. This article looks into each of these foundational core services, presents the challenges related to extending support for these services into the tactical domain, and identifies potential solutions.

Modeling of reconfigurable distributed manufacturing control systems

This paper presents a method to design a reconfigurable distributed manufacturing control systems which integrates heterogeneous technologies of facilities that are geographically distributed. Due to the heterogeneity of the environment, the method explores concepts of different techniques and takes the best practices from each one. Mechanisms for reconfiguration are proposed using holonic and multi-agent systems techniques. The service-oriented architecture concept is applied to define the interfaces for communication. A combined top-down and bottom- up approach is described using Petri net models. An application example demonstrates the characteristics and advantages of the proposed method, such as autonomy, reactivity, reuse models, interoperability and reconfiguration flexibility.

FEATURE-BASED ANALYSIS INTO THE TREND OF SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES FROM TRADITIONAL TO SERVICE ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE AND SAAS CLOUD

There are issues of confusion between the concepts of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Software as a Service (SaaS) which affect on the benefits they offer like cost reduction and agility. To solve this problem, the paper aims to explore the concepts of SaaS and SOA in order to give better understanding of these two technologies. Since SaaS cloud is getting more popular day by day and many companies are shifting to apply SaaS solutions, this motivates us to make a clear understanding of the concepts of SaaS delivery model and SOA architecture. Therefore, in this research we have reviewed the concepts and features of both SaaS cloud and SOA and then compared them with the traditional on-premise software.

PERFORMANCE IN SOA CONTEXT

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a new software development paradigm where application is developed in distinct pieces, providing functionality as a service to other applications, internal and external. Though SOA has many benefits like Loose coupling, incremental implementation, high business agility, reduced lead time, reduces cost, reduced risk and new opportunities to deliver values, some of these benefits also introduce performance overhead. For smaller systems with small number of services and small number of users, this performance hit may be minimal. However, maintaining required performance levels for large SOA implemented systems is big challenge. In this paper, we will discuss the SOA concepts, its architectural style, attributes, performance advantages and disadvantages of SOA and techniques to improve the performance of SOA.

Trust Based Web Services with Secure Control Policies and Quality of Services Using PSO

The concept of service oriented architecture is a latest hymn in web services. Despite the services offered, it is also improvised with its Quality of Services (QoS’s). Such web services are optimized using evolutionary algorithm. The difference makes clear impact in its quality offered by web services. Such variation of evolutionary algorithm in web services ensures trust based services. The optimized result makes the complex task simpler with maximized ability. The dynamism of web services was reloaded with evolutionary algorithm; trust based services with QoS are highlighted in this work. If a web service wx access the services wxs1 and wxs2 and both these services are done with trust based services offered by web services in its traditional way. The proposed work address this issue with optimized evolutionary algorithm for ensuring trust between web services wxs1 and as well as for wxs2. The result provides optimized solution and makes web services works based on QoS oriented trust services.
