Engineering Principles, Techniques and Methodologies for Hybrid, Service-based Applications (WP-JRA-1.1)
Objectives
The two principal long-term objectives of the workpackage are:
-
Deriving integrated principles, techniques and methodologies for engineering hybrid service based applications based on clearly identified design and discipline knowledge available in the functional layers of a service-based systems as well as in research fields related to engineering service based applications, especially software engineering;
- Contributing those principles, techniques and methods to the S-Cube Integration Framework and discipline knowledge to the S-Cube convergence knowledge model.
To achieve these long-term objectives, design and discipline knowledge from the related fields that impact the engineering of service based applications needs to be integrated. Design knowledge expresses how engineering occurs, as processes, methodologies, modelling and analysis techniques. Discipline knowledge expresses theories about how service based applications can be used in their environments, and is applied using design knowledge.
Therefore, two further, shorter-term objectives are to:
-
Gathering and coordinate design knowledge about how to engineer software and serviceoriented systems infrastructures, service compositions and management of business processes supported by these systems;
- Codifying discipline knowledge from fields outside of software and service-oriented systems engineering, specifically considering HCI and context, to understand how to engineer service based applications for different and potentially changing and evolving usage environments.
We will gather and coordinate design knowledge to develop new integrated models of how to engineer service based applications. These models will be descriptive, to enable researchers to compare and contrast processes, methods, models and analysis techniques. HCI and context knowledge will be used to build SBAs to consider different user and task characteristics, drive service based application configuration, and support user-led personalization of services and SBAs.
