Abstract
Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) is emerging as a promising software development paradigm based on the concept of encapsulating application logic within independent, loosely coupled, stateless services that interact via messages using standard communication protocols. The design principles of SOC are yet to be well understood; therefore service-oriented systems are often developed in an ad-hoc fashion, with little support for validating the quality of the service-oriented (SO) design upon which such systems are based. As such, there is a need for mechanisms supporting the measurement of internal structural quality attributes of SO designs (such as coupling and cohesion) in order to predict and enhance the quality of the final product.
