The transformation of requirements specification into an architectural design has been a crucial endeavor for the information systems analysis and design community, with ever-new challenges to tackle. Despite the wide and diverse existing proposals, the lack of a common structure and use of different strategies makes it close to impossible to analyze or compare these approaches. Therefore, the use of model-based methods benefits from a detailed specification in order to support their analysis and evolution, also in comparison to other approaches. Following work on the derivation of a logical architecture from business-process use-cases requirements in a service-oriented approach, the authors propose a detailed specification, within a SPEM approach, of a transformation method, which they further analyze and refurbish in order to meet current and future challenges.

To provide modeling and simulation functionality as services is strategically leveraged in the defense domain and elsewhere. To describe and understand the context, the ecosystem, wherein such services are used and interoperate with other services and capabilities, one needs tools that capture the simulation services themselves as well as the capability landscape they operate in. By using the NATO Consultation, Command, and Control (C3) Taxonomy to structure architecture design in the NATO Architecture Framework (NAF), cohesive descriptions of modeling and simulation capabilities within larger contexts can be given. We show how a basic seven-step approach may benefit architecture work for modeling and simulation at the overarching, reference, and target architectural levels; in particular for (1) hybrid architectures that embed simulation architectures within a larger service-oriented architecture and (2) for architectural design of simulation scenarios. Central to the approach is the use of the C3 Taxonomy as a repository for overarching architecture building blocks and patterns. We conclude that the promotion of technical functionality as capabilities in their own right helps delineate simulation environment boundaries, helps delineate services within and outside the boundary, and is an enabler for defining the service concepts in cloud-based approaches to modeling and simulation as a service (MSaaS).

Insurance Agent

Service oriented architecture (SOA) has many benefits that it can provide a corporation. Information management system for insurance agents provides powerful tools that improve productivity, streamline workflow, and a complete business view. SOA principles possess five representative characteristics, i.e. standardized service contracts, discoverability and composability, abstraction and reusability, loose coupling, autonomy and statelessness. The paper put forward an integrated framework based on Web service. The analysis and design were represented for insurance agency information management system based on SOA framework. The application of information management system for insurance agents based on SOA made integration of insurance agent management information system more efficient to adapt to the information management development of the insurance industry.

This paper discusses requirements for autonomy and communications in maritime environments through two use cases which are sourced from military scenarios: Mine Counter Measures (MCM) and Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW). To address these requirements, this work proposes a service-oriented architecture that breaks the typical boundaries between the autonomy and the communications stacks. An initial version of the architecture has been implemented and its deployment during a field trial done in January 2019 is reported. The paper discusses the achieved results in terms of system flexibility and ability to address the MCM and ASW requirements.

As one of the country with largest population in the world, Indonesia is facing major challenge to serve people in various sectors, one of them is health sector. Utilization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has a strategic role in improving efficiency and expanding services access. The main challenge related to data interoperability is the ability to integrate and synchronize data sourced from health information (e-health) systems with different (heterogeneous) platforms. This research aims to build a framework to materialize data interoperability and information exchange among e-health systems. The interoperability is materialized by utilizing service oriented architecture (SOA) paradigm and is implemented using Web Service technology. Service oriented analysis and design (SOAD) is used as method in the system development at the analysis phase and designing phase to generate service portfolio which consisting of three levels: conceptual view, logical view, and physical view. This research intruduces Interoperability Matrix (IM) to describe the modules and entities that involved in the framework design. The framework resulted from this research can be used as reference in e-health systems development in variety of health care applications.

Distributed Infrastructures

Demand for contemporary IT systems to support chronic availability, expansive integration and extensibility has never been greater. Distributed infrastructures and particularly, the advent of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) introduce new challenges for meeting these demands. Despite architectural conventions to prescribe a common structure and simplifed approach, these systems are becoming more complex, heterogeneous and critical. Comprehensive System Management is no longer a luxury. Faults and potential failures have to be identified, isolated and addressed, and ideally pre-emptively. Our front-line indicators are alarms
