Modeling a governance process of establishing a subscription to a deployed service in a governed SOA
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of automating a governance process of establishing a subscription to a deployed service in a governed Service Oriented Architecture (‘
- SOA’
), the method comprising;
modeling the governance process of establishing a subscription to a deployed service in the governed SOA, the modeled governance process comprising;
collecting available service artifacts associated with a deployed service;
determining whether the deployed service meets predefined functional requirements including, performing a functional gap analysis between the collected service artifacts and the predefined functional requirements;
if the deployed service meets the predefined functional requirements, determining whether the deployed service meets predefined non-functional requirements including;
performing a non-functional gap analysis between the collected service artifacts and the predefined non-functional requirements, including determining whether the collective service artifacts associated with the deployed service indicate that the deployed service meets one or more criteria of a Service Level Agreement;
if the deployed service meets the predefined non-functional requirements, creating a subscription request;
requesting approval of the subscription request;
if approval is received, creating a subscription to the deployed service; and
if the deployed service does not meet the predefined non-functional requirements, negotiating a change of the predefined non-functional requirements; and
generating, in dependence upon the modeled governance process, one or more automation modules, each automation module comprising a module of computer program instructions that, when executed by a computer processor, supports performance of one or more steps of the modeled governance process.

Abstract
Modeling a governance process of establishing a subscription to a deployed service in a governed Service Oriented Architecture (‘SOA’) and generating, in dependence upon the modeled governance process, one or more automation modules, each automation module comprising a module of computer program instructions that, when executed by a computer processor, supports performance of one or more steps of the modeled governance process, where the modeled governance process includes collecting available service artifacts associated with a deployed service; determining whether the deployed service meets predefined functional requirements; if the deployed service meets the predefined functional requirements, determining whether the deployed service meets predefined non-functional requirements if the deployed service meets the predefined non-functional requirements, creating a subscription request; requesting approval of the subscription request; and if approval is received, creating a subscription to the deployed service.
