In general, a common reference architecture can be derived for Software as a Service (SaaS). However, while designing particular applications one may derive various application design alternatives from the same reference SaaS architecture specification. To meet the required functional and nonfunctional requirements of different enterprise applications it is important to model the possible design so that a feasible alternative can be defined. In this paper, we propose a systematic approach and corresponding tool support for guiding the design of SaaS application architectures. The approach defines a SaaS reference architecture, a family feature model and a set of reference design rules. Based on the business requirements an application feature model is defined using the family feature model. Selected features are related to design decisions and a SaaS application architecture design is derived.

Modeling and code generation for a reference software architecture for naval platform command and control systems
Turhan, Nafiye Kübra; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Department of Computer Engineering (2017)
Many software teams who work in a particular domain develop software products compliant with a specific Reference Software Architecture. By adopting a Reference Software Architecture within an organization, software development schedule tend to shorten, efficiency of software development process and quality of software product tend to increase. Architectures of all application software that are developed by Sea Defense Systems Software Team are created based on a predefined Reference Software Architecture n...
An approach for including business requirements to soa design
Ocaktürk, Murat; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
In this thesis, a service oriented decomposition approach: Use case Driven Service Oriented Architecture (UDSOA), is introduced to close the gap between business requirements and SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) design by including business use cases and system use cases into decomposition process. The approach is constructed upon Service Oriented Software Engineering (SOSE) modeling technique and aims to fill the deficits of it at the decomposition phase. Further, it aims to involve both business vision...
Exploring reuse levels in ERP projects in search of an effort estimation approach
Demirörs, Onur; Omural, Neslihan Kucukates (2018-08-31)
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) projects have special characteristics that differentiate them from other kinds of software projects. Main difference that affects effort estimation results is high reuse rates of ERP projects. This paper presents our exploratory work to establish an approach to calculate reuse reflective size of ERP projects, which could be a primary input for effort estimation. We explored the usability of COSMIC function points as the base unit and its convertibility to reuse reflective ...
A size measurement method for enterprise applications
KÜÇÜKATEŞ ÖMÜRAL, NESLİHAN; Koçyiğit, Altan; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2022-8)
Enterprise Applications are complex, effort-intensive applications that include most of the business processes of the enterprises. They differ from traditional software applications by their high reuse rates. Effort predictions for these applications are usually performed in an ad-hoc fashion and result in large variations. Prediction models utilizing traditional software size measures do not produce accurate results either. In this thesis, we developed a size measurement method considering the unique chara...
