Area: Architecting Software as Service
--------------------------------------
Code: SWA-SL
Project description:
In a Software as Service (SaS) approach, a provider can realize and 
maintain business processes efficiently, that can be used by different 
consumers. The research project aims to offer a software engineering 
approach to build and maintain SaS platforms in the domain of local 
e-Government, emphasizing on offering powerful configuration 
possibilities. This process will leverage a number of disciplines and 
technologies:
- Quality-driven architecting to ensure the satisfaction of critical 
Quality Attributes.
- Variability management to handle configuration at the three 
aforementioned levels.
- Model-driven development at the business, architecture and services level.
A pilot in the application of health care for local e-Government in the 
Netherlands will be the testbed for the technologies developed in the 
project. The consortium includes industrial partners and local 
government end users.
