CBM-Of-TRaCE: An Ontology-Driven Framework for the Improvement of Business Service Traceability, Consistency Management and Reusability
This work addresses business service management challenges for organizations, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing approaches like IBM ABA.
The paper tackles the problem of improving business service traceability, consistency management, and reusability by proposing CBM-Of-TRaCE, an ontology-driven framework that integrates conceptual and methodological aspects, and demonstrates its compatibility with IBM's Actionable Business Approach phases.
In this paper, we represent CBM-Of-TRaCE which is an ontological framework that integrates two aspects of business components: conceptual and methodology. In the development of our framework we have taken IBM Actionable Business Approach (ABA) in to consideration. We evaluate our framework through some aspects such as support and facilitation for a business from five different aspects: service-orientation, business process, management integration, reusability improvement, consistency rules, and traceability. As well, we demonstrate the compatibility of our CBM-Of-TRaCE with ABA four phases.
