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
