Abstract

We propose a change management framework for Service-Oriented Enterprise (SOEs). We present a taxonomy of changes that occur in SOEs, whereby we focus on bottom-up changes. We use a combination of Ordinary Petri nets and Reconfigurable Petri nets to model the triggering changes and reactive changes, respectively. We propose an automatic change management framework that is based on the above Petri net models. We propose mapping rules and propagation algorithms that handle the triggering changes and reactive changes, respectively. We performed a simulation study to prove the feasibility of our approach.
