An ITIL v3-Based Solution to SOA Governance

As the adoption of SOA becomes more popular, the problems of implementing SOA are becoming increasingly serious. The proposal and research on SOA governance are intended to resolve these problems and provide guidance on how to plan, design and operate SOA, as well as maximize profits. Many IT organizations have proposed their SOA frameworks, but these frameworks have some disadvantages. In this paper, we propose an ITIL v3-based solution to SOA Governance. Adopting the framework of ITIL, our solution centers around the services life cycle, defines the implementation of each phase, and provides guidance on best practice. It is therefore applicable to practice.
