A Novel Framework for Enterprise Web Services Change Management

Business logic might be constantly improved or changed in order to provide enhanced services or to reduce cost. As a result, the software applications employed must be continuously updated to comply with the changes in their functional features. Changes in business logic of the web service must be done very quickly within the given time constraint as the services consumed by the providers and clients must not be affected. The framework proposed in this paper responds these challenges in three fold: Firstly, it formats the request and discovers required service logic through rule manager. Secondly, extracted logics are built as a complete web service and FSM is constructed by the Business Logic model to state the logic flow. Thirdly, it ascertains the right way for evaluation by analyzing dependency between the service logics through FSM. This allows enterprises to carve up and assimilate the services dynamically without developer's intervention at any stage. Thus this can be used for any IT enterprises in modern service industry to reduce the threshold of development and operation of services.
