Service Engineering

Various open and proprietary methods and processes fall into this category, including

* SAE - Service Architecture and Engineering (CBDI)
* SOA Process (CBDI and others)
* SMART - Service Oriented Migration and Reuse Technique (SEI)
* SOAD - Service-Oriented Analysis and Design (IBM)
* SODA - Service-Oriented Development of Applications (Gartner)
* SOMA - Service-Oriented Modelling and Architecture (IBM)
* SOT - Service-Oriented Transformation (IBM)
* SOA Blueprints (OASIS)

and also some others that don't include the word "service" in the name, such as

* Motion (Microsoft)
* RUP for SOA (IBM again)
* Select Perspective (Select Business Solutions)
* Solution Domain Architecture (Microsoft again)

Wikipedia has loads of stuff about service engineering, but the quality is very variable, and there are lots of overlapping and sometimes one-sided articles. The SOA article itself is much too long, while most of the others are too short. However, there is some useful material there if you are willing to browse a little. I recommend you start with the Service-oriented (business computing) category.

I'm going to add some more links here soon. In the meantime, you may want to take a look at my other Squidoo lens on the Service-Based Business.

I work for CBDI, and am a contributor to the CBDI service engineering methodology CBDI-SAE. Paul Allen is a colleague. However, my intention in this lens is to talk about the general principles of service engineering, rather than trying to push our particular approach.
