Modeling Method for Bridging Pragmatic and Semantic Dimensions of Service Architectures

Rapid changes in business environment result in necessity to introduce new agile modeling methods, which effectively support evolution of information system specifications. Service-oriented paradigm can be applied for achievement of this goal. Conceptual models of service interactions are important as a natural principle for the separation of crosscutting concerns of various information system architecture dimensions. This paper presents a modeling method for systems analysis and design, where service orientation is used for integration of information system conceptualizations. Goals, problems and opportunities represent pragmatic aspects, which are considered as a driving force of design process. It is a starting point for reasoning about changes of computation-neutral specifications of service architectures across organizational and technical system boundaries. The presented method is used for bridging pragmatic and semantic dimensions of information systems specifications.
