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.
