Quality attributes and design decisions in Service-Oriented Computing

Recently, Service-Oriented Computing is growing rapidly. With new emergences of technologies, software engineers have been facing more and more challenges in this area. Particularly, quality attributes and design decisions in Service-Oriented Computing are seldom discussed. According to the problems, our paper focuses on how to examine the design decisions based on quality attributes and how design decisions impact on the architecture of service in SOA-based system. In order to resolve these design issues, we develop an approach to SOA-based system in high level design based on functional requirements and quality attributes. Finally, a case study is shown by using our approach.
