During the workshop we will discuss the following topics:

1.        Alignment of the enterprise goals and strategy with the SoEA

-          Which interdependencies exist between services and business strategy?

-          Which concepts and methods are necessary to align services with the business strategy?

-          Which new potentials to reengineer business processes are created by services?

-          How are non-functional requirements derived from enterprise goals and strategy?

-          How are services aligned with non-functional requirements?

-          How are services aligned with compliance requirements?

-          Are the compliance and governance requirements enforced using SoEA?

2.        Design of SoEA

-          How are business, software, platform and infrastructure services defined?

-          How are business services assigned to business processes?

-          How are business services assigned to non-functional requirements?

-          How do meta-services differentiate for business, software, platform and infrastructure services?

-          How are appropriate meta-services designed?

-          How can the fulfilment of non-functional requirements be monitored?

-          Which benchmarks and key performance indicators should be applied to services?

-          How are Enterprise Architectures designed using cloud-services?

-          How differ cloud-services from other kinds of services?

-          How are Enterprise Architectures designed using cloud-environments?

-          Which meta-services are necessary for cloud-environments?

-          How are service (value) nets -consisting of business, software, platform and infrastructure services- created?

4.        Mapping of SoEA to enterprise resources

-          Which resources are relevant for SoEA?

-          How are services mapped to enterprise resources?
