TRADE-OFF ANALYSIS IN IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL REUSABLE CORE ASSETS THROUGH SERVICE ORIENTED PRODUCT LINE

Service Oriented Product Line (SOPL) has appeared as a synergy that are able to aid a systematic reuse with reduced product's time to market and cost-effectively by reusing an existing asset. Since delivering the need of developing multiple system involves high efforts in adapting the demands of specific requirements, a systematic approach especially in identifying only potential core assets to be reused is very much needed. Current core asset development approach does not adequately address systematic reuse in assessing concern in factors such as management between services. To assure a systematic reuse and management of services, variations and common assets need to be considered. Therefore, this research proposes a systematic reuse approach to identify which core assets are potentially to be reused by contributing in delivering Trade-off Analysis between structural stability of a system and a complexity of added services to identify a set of potential reusable core assets. This set will then be represented into Business Process Model Notation (BPMN). A case study is portrayed in this research to illustrate the approach. Based on this, a set of potential reusable core assets is identified.
