A Business-driven Methodology for Service-Oriented Information System Development

In order to build a flexible and configurable software architecture to realize enterprise business requirements agilely for distributing environment, a methodology called BSAD (Business-driven Service-oriented Application Development) is proposed to bridge business models in build time and application development in runtime seamlessly. From the five stages of business modeling, service transformation, Process modeling, resource mapping and system implementation, a running application could be developed. And a software supported platform is also built to develop information systems based on BSAD. The research indicates a new way to develop enterprise service-oriented information system in a more flexible and configurable way.
