Service oriented information systems development

One can find the long standing problems with conceptual modeling such as model transformation, reusability and agility in the classical information system development (ISD). New approaches may help in overcoming these issues in conventional ISD?s problems. The service oriented approach which is one of the promising approaches, brings solutions to some existing problems. By adopting service orientation in ISD ? which we call service oriented ISD, one can deal with the aforementioned problems. This study examines the very notion of service in the context of conceptual modeling method. In particular, we show how to support service modeling in terms of guidance (that is, the way of modeling). The proposed modeling support is demarcated along with a method at the foundational level. We further discuss viability of the proposed method and demonstrate with a real-life case.
