Software Services Elicitation and Their Compliance with Organizational Goals

Despite the great advances in Service Oriented Architecture in recent years, it is still facing a number of challenges. One of the main challenges of this architecture is the extraction and identification of services and compliance of identified services with business goals of the organization. In this paper, a method is presented to solve the problems non-compliance of services with the objectives of the organizations. In this method, after identification of the services, the tree of goals is produced and the target –service matrix is created. By examining this matrix, two important issues are determined. First, lack of coverage of organization targets by the identified services and second, non compatibility of identified services with organizational goals. The method proposed in this paper can be used for ensuring compliance of services with organizational goals.
