CD-JRA-1.1.4 Coordinated design knowledge models for software engineering and service-based computing

In this deliverable, we discuss the need for the S-Cube life-cycle and the development of enhancements to support its implementation. We introduce the area of Service-Oriented Systems Engineering (SOSE) and discuss on how it is different from Traditional Software Engineering (TSE), while still recognising that both of these disciplines have important inputs to make to the development of Service-Oriented Systems. We progress with further development of the S-Cube life-cycle focusing on requirements, design and adaptation. From the requirements perspective, we investigate context-aware requirements discovery and specification, exploring whether existing models can be applied to improve requirements specification. From the design perspective, we suggest design principles and guidelines that are suitable to enable adaptation. From the adaptation perspective, we investigate SOSE and TSE to present practices for adaptation. Finally, we propose a unified formal model for dealing with the effects of iterative and localized changes between any two interacting service consumers and providers
