1. A computer-implemented method of automating a governance process of optimizing a portfolio of services in a governed Service Oriented Architecture (‘

  • SOA’

    ), the method comprising;

    modeling the governance process of optimizing a portfolio of services in the governed SOA, the modeled governance process comprising;

    determining whether a collection of service artifacts matches one or more service artifacts stored in a service registry;

    if no service artifacts stored in the service registry match the collection of service artifacts, initiating creation of a service in accordance with the collection of service artifacts;

    if one or more service artifacts stored in the service registry match the collection of service artifacts;

    selecting, in dependence upon predefined action selection criteria, a service administration action to perform;

    obtaining approval of the selected service administration action; and

    initiating the selected service administration action; 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.
