| − | The format and content of the ASEC paper was seen as a good way forward for general work.

| − | Further work on 'What happened before, during and after the work in the paper will be useful in mapping out the process/lifecycle for development and use of services.

| − | The Systems Engineering Handbook, SeBOK and ISO/IEC 15288 were considered for their contribution, but found to cover services as a way of maintaining a system in service, rather than providing a service.

| − | * Four different white-board briefs of our contribution were produced and discussed. It was agreed that considering two views of the system - one service oriented and one system oriented could be used to cover the four different briefs, and provide strong message.
| |
| − | * It was agreed that the major contribution to be expressed in this paper is for the analysis of Services in terms of Context Diagrams, Stakeholder Analysis, Behaviour Analysis, Context Analysis and Structure Analysis are different if you take Service-Centric views against what you get if you take a System-Centric views.
| |
| − | * The difference compared to Architecture Frameworks, that include Service views such as MoDAF, is that AFs are looking at services as system components, whereas we are looking at the enterprise or business from two views - one Service-Centric and one System-Centric.
| |
| − | * Hence for example a Service-Centric Stakeholder Analysis will be similar (and use the same or similar methods) to a System-Centric Stakeholder Analysis but focus on the Service aspects and provide a richer set of outputs.
| |
| − | * Comparison was made with Product Service Systems (Tukker) which deals with a range of Services from Pure Service to Pure Product.

Revision as of 11:07, 28 September 2018
Attendees
John Davies, Iain Cardow, Sarwar Ahmad.
Overview
Discussions were wide ranging and covered:
- What techniques we have and what service/systems can they apply to?
- Can we better handle Services within an enterprise architecture?
- Early life-cycle - how is the decision made to develop/deploy a service ?
What Process, Techniques, Models do we have? Which are useful when?
We have seen/studies/developed techniques - mostly to support analysis and design, but also to cover operation,
Service-Centric Analysis
- as described in Paper for ASEC2018
- Covers analysis of need and specification for Services
- applied to Norway Military Vehicle service and logistics
- provides detailed analysis
- not yet seen for how to/where to split providers?
- Considered for applying to
- Bus Service - good
- Health Care – poor
SOA model - as in TOGAF
- applied to many software services
- provides diagrams of how services are composed to provide business process
- Apply to Norway NCS ILS - doesn’t add/help
NECTISE Model -
- structure of services to provide capability
- mostly visual can be applied to:
- NCS ILS – OK
- Health Care, University - OK
Providing a better framework
Considering MoDAF as an example Architecture
we could modify.
Start of lifecycle
- using Services to make money.
Actions
- JD to chase actions from last meeting
- JD to look at early lifecycle
Next Meeting
12 November or 10 December 2018, 10-30 to 14-30, Rolls Royce, Filton, Bristol.
