Abstract
While there are several SOA governance frameworks to serve SOA implementation in organizations, no systematic evaluation of these frameworks has been proposed. As a result, it is difficult to select a framework to address SOA governance requirements. Also, there are no methods for determining advantages and weaknesses of each framework. To resolve these problems, we devise a framework for evaluating and comparing SOA governance frameworks. The framework is designed to assess evaluation across the spectrum of substantive fields. It focuses on four major aspects of a SOA governance framework: concepts and properties, qualitative features, SOA governance focus areas, and pragmatics. The evaluation framework ensures that a complete picture of all aspects of SOA governance can be achieved. We demonstrate the usage of the suggested framework by evaluating Open Group framework. This evaluation identifies the strengths and the weaknesses of Open Group, and also exemplifies the capabilities of our framework.
