We use service network (SN) models for quantitative analysis based on KPIs and SLAs, which enables strategic decisions for participants such as determination of optimal product prices or outsourcing decisions. In order to perform the analysis on the SN abstraction level and implement its results in operational business processes, SNs have to be connected to the BPM stack. We therefore introduce the SN4BPM architecture describing an enhanced BPM layering and lifecycle where SNs constitute a separate layer on top of the established BPM stack. In that context, we describe in particular a model-driven approach to generating abstract business process models from Service Network Models and vice versa. Finally, we deal with monitoring in the cross-organizational setting of service networks.

Firstly, it depicts the research vision of the workpackage, including the research challenges that will be addressed by the S-Cube consortium. Secondly, the deliverable aims at defining the S-Cube quality reference model. This reference model is intended to provide the S-Cube consortium with a unified terminology for describing different quality attributes of service-based applications. To this end, important quality models from service-oriented computing, business process management, grid computing and software engineering are analyzed. The quality attributes which are defined in these models and which are relevant for S-Cube are extracted and synthesized into the S-Cube quality reference model.

Starting from this framework, the refined conceptual models and taxonomies of SBA monitoring and adaptation are provided. The deliverable also demonstrates how the presented taxonomies are instantiated across functional SBA layers and involved research disciplines.

Each phase is discussed in depth, and methods, techniques and tools for it are presented. Furthermore, cross-phase aspects are investigated. The other body of knowledge concerns more traditional software engineering and business process methodologies, examined from the perspective of service based applications. A number of preliminary results on the synergy between the two areas are also presented as a stepping stone for the following deliverables.

In particular, we focus on five cases as they, collectively, touch all the main points of interest within S-Cube. To make all case studies comparable and easily understood, we have defined a case study description approach that leverages from the results achieved by NEXOFRA and from the Requirements Engineering literature. The usage of such approach for revising and describing all cases has been very useful to highlight some weak aspects of the original descriptions and to identify those aspects in the case studies that cover the main points of interest for S-Cube.

To facilitate this, the S-Cube mobility program encourages researchers to spend time in one of the beneficiary’s institutes to exchange research ideas and carry out joint research through the reimbursement of travel and living expenses incurred whilst at the host institution. This deliverable aims to identify research areas and beneficiaries of the mobility program by analysing overlaps in the competencies of the S-Cube partner institutes and through the pro-active identification of suitable candidates for the mobility program, thereby encouraging researcher mobility between these partners.

The major work achieved during this period was to develop a new version of the KM which builds on the previous content.

The objective of this framework, which will be constantly and incrementally refined and extended throughout the whole life of the project, is to provide a holistic vision that integrates, aligns and coordinates the research efforts and results of the joint research activities undertaken in JRA-1 and JRA-2. The baseline for the Integrated Research Framework described in this document consists of a set of views which define different perspectives on the S-Cube research: conceptual framework, reference life-cycle, logical run-time architecture, logical design environment. In this deliverable, we provide a description of these views and a first definition of the interfaces between the elements of the framework. We map the research efforts undertaken in the different joint research activities into these views. Finally, we define responsibilities for the different research work-packages, and relationships among them, in terms of their contributions to these views.
