Evolution of a simple vehicle registration system to an SOA based e-governance application: a case study
Pages 1 - 7
Abstract
Transactions are one of the basic building blocks in all business applications. The notion of a transaction originated in the seventies and has evolved over time to cater to complex business applications that are distributed, heterogeneous, and loosely coupled. The literature on transaction models is extensive and most of them illustrate the ideas with case studies on different applications. Since the applications are different, it is diffcult to understand the limitations of the models for the general case. However, such an understanding is essential in order to develop a new transaction model that caters to the changing business requirements. This motivated us to investigate the evolution of existing transaction models and to analyze their shortcomings using a case study, Vehicle Registration system. A taxonomy of the various transaction models based on conceptual evolution has also been presented. Further, the suitability of SOA to large scale e-governance applications and the need for developing better SOA Governance transaction frameworks have been demonstrated.
