Service-oriented architecture (SOA) has been promoted as a technology that can enhance information systems agility, interoperability between applications, deployment flexibility, and reusability. As with any new information technology (IT), the decision to adopt SOA cannot be taken lightly, given the nontrivial investment in economic and personnel resources. The complexity associated with industry-wide diffusion, coupled with organization, industry, and environment factors, contributes to a lack of a clear strategy for assessing the business value that SOA provides an organization. This research attempts to shed light on this process of value creation for an organization, using a system dynamics approach. A detailed model of the industry diffusion coupled with organization adoption is presented. After suitable calibration and validation, a series of simulations using the model evaluate the efficacy of SOA under a variety of diverse conditions. The results of the simulations indicate clear benefits of SOA over monolithic ITs when employed under appropriate conditions. Situations where SOA fails to live up to expectations are also identified. The model and accompanying simulations can serve as a practical decision support tool for an organization to help make the strategic decisions of adopting and implementing SOA.

Synthesis of Monitoring Rules with STL
Aydin, Sertac Kagan; Aydın Göl, Ebru (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2020-09-01)
Online monitoring is essential to enhance the reliability for various systems including cyber-physical systems and Web services. During online monitoring, the system traces are checked against monitoring rules in real time to detect deviations from normal behaviors. In general, the rules are defined as boundary conditions by the experts of the monitored system. This work studies the problem of synthesizing online monitoring rules in the form of temporal logic formulas in an automated way. The monitoring rul...
A Quality model for cloud-based enterprise information systems
Şener, Umut; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Department of Information Systems (2016)
Organizations have migrated from on-premise enterprise information systems to Cloud-based Enterprise Information Systems (Cloud-EIS) due to the benefits of cloud computing, such as flexibility, availability on demand, and interdependence in information technology infrastructure. Accordingly, enterprises perceive the significance of the quality of Cloud-EIS for improving their businesses, and they pay more attention to selecting the suitable Cloud-EIS. Having looked at the extensive literature, only a few re...
An End-to-End Security Auditing Approach for Service Oriented Architectures
AZARMİ, Mehdi; BHARGAVA, Bharat; Angın, Pelin; RANCHAL, Rohit; AHMED, Norman; SİNCLAİR, Asher; LİNDERMAN, Mark; BEN OTHMANE, Lotfi (2012-10-11)
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is becoming a major paradigm for distributed application development in the recent explosion of Internet services and cloud computing. However, SOA introduces new security challenges not present in the single-hop client-server architectures due to the involvement of multiple service providers in a service request. The interactions of independent service domains in SOA could violate service policies or SLAs. In addition, users in SOA systems have no control on what happens...
Requirements Engineering for Cloud Systems: A Mapping Study Design
Wanderley, Fernando; Souza, Eric; Goulao, Miguel; Araujo, Joao; Cysneiros, Gilberto; Misra, Ananya (2017-07-06)
Cloud Computing gets increasingly established in industrial practice as an option for modelling cost-efficient and demand-oriented information systems. Despite the increasing acceptance of cloud computing within the industry, many important questions remain unanswered. Issues related to the best software architectures decisions for cloud-based systems are faced with the question of appropriate techniques applying at early phase like requirements engineering. The goal of this paper defines a design of a mapp...
Implementation and Evaluation of Age-Aware Downlink Scheduling Policies in Push-Based and Pull-Based Communication
Oğuz, Tahir Kerem; Ceran Arslan, Elif Tuğçe; Uysal, Elif; Girici, Tolga (2022-5-01)
As communication systems evolve to better cater to the needs of machine-type applications such as remote monitoring and networked control, advanced perspectives are required for the design of link layer protocols. The age of information (AoI) metric has firmly taken its place in the literature as a metric and tool to measure and control the data freshness demands of various applications. AoI measures the timeliness of transferred information from the point of view of the destination. In this study, we exper...
