Increasing the Discoverability and Sales Potential of SOA Based Services through QR Codes
针对SOA服务缺乏固定描述结构导致难以被发现和销售的问题，提出利用二维码的大容量和快速读取特性来增强服务描述，帮助软件架构师快速获取信息并加速购买决策。
Service oriented architecture (SOA) is generally used to facilitate the adaptation of the software to rapidly changing business processes. With the increasing use of service oriented architecture, the number of SOA-based services is growing rapidly. These services are usually provided from many other service-oriented architectures or similar software architecture paradigms such as SAAS (Software as a service), cloud computing and others with integration objective. At this point, the offer and discovery methods of SOA-based services play a very important role. Although specific standards to the subject matter have been developed, it still lacks a fixed and definite structure. This deficiency hinders the effective perception of services and this situation complicates the discovery of required services from software architects. The developed services will trigger interest and they can be readily sold in the software market in case the above-mentioned problems are eliminated. At this stage, the service description could be implemented using Quick Response (QR) - codes. As already known, they can be used in the sense of their features such as fast readability and large storage capacity. These QR-code features could be one of the best solutions for SOA-based services to take preferred position in the software market. As a result, software architects can obtain the required information about the services they are interested in very fast and this in turn will speed up their decision making process for purchasing.
