An Agile Model-Based Framework for Service Innovation for the Future Internet

Service innovation for the future internet, with service design and service engineering, can benefit from a combination of an agile and model-based development approach. An agile approach is focusing on early understanding of user needs and service touchpoints to optimise for the best user experience and rapid adaptation to emerging user needs. A model based approach allows for a combination of various domain specific language that are suited for expressing services on different abstraction levels, aimed at supporting higher productivity and quality in service engineering. This approach presents an agile model-based framework using the emerging OMG domain specific standard languages VDML, BPMN, IFML and SoaML for service design and engineering, relating value models, process models, user interface and interaction flow models, and service architectures and service contract models. The associated methodology and set of practices can be supported by the emerging OMG FACESEM standard (a Foundation for the Agile Creation and Enactment of Software Engineering Methods).
