Migration of a Chosen Architectural Pattern to Service Oriented ...

Chapter 1. Introduction 5was noticed that identification of design pattern helps in identification of services[7].AimThis thesis is meant to elaborate guidelines that support migration from a systemthat is based on a chosen architectural pattern toward a system based on ServiceOriented Architecture.ObjectivesThe objectives of the thesis are as follows:1. To investigate existing migration toward SOA approaches.2. To investigate existing architectural patterns in order to select the patternfor migration.3. To investigate SOA in order to provide understanding of SOA in the contextof this work.4. To elaborate the target architecture.5. To elaborate translation between selected architectural pattern and the targetarchitecture6. Illustrate an application of the translation.Research question:To fulfill the aim and the objectives, the thesis addresses and answers followingresearch questions:ˆ RQ.1 What are the existing techniques of migration toward SOA?ˆ RQ.2 What are drawbacks and advantages of identified techniques of migrationtoward SOA?ˆ RQ.3 What process employ in order to select the pattern for migration?ˆ RQ.4 Which pattern should be chosen for migration?ˆ RQ.5 What elements should be the building blocks of the target architecture?ˆ RQ.6 How the target architecture should look like?ˆ RQ.7 How to translate the selected architectural pattern into the targetarchitecture?
