A Method to Design SOA-Based Software Architecture and Goal Models from BPMN Models

In today's digital economy, organisations build soft-ware systems to support their Collaborative Business Processes (CBPs). Building such systems is a diligent and time-consuming task that requires both business and technical skills. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) offers design principals based on the service concept to help align CBPs with their supporting systems while helping organisations achieve their business goals. This paper aims to design a model-driven method that bridges the gap between CBPs and the systems that support them. Its objective is two-fold: i) design SOA-based software solutions that support CBPs expressed in BPMN and ii) build a set of goal models that link each service to the collaborative activity it automates and the business goals it satisfies.
