Abstract

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has emerged as an alternative for organizations that aims at increasing the quality of their systems, improving flexibility of them and the business and IT alignment. However, its adoption is not an easy task in an enterprise context. Thus, this paper presents a Systematic Literature Mapping about SOA adoption in the industry in order to answer research questions regarding the steps, activities, lessons learned, difficulties, influences and domains about SOA adoption. For this purpose, a set of 27 studies, among them, 21 case studies were analyzed.

Keywords: Empirical Study, SOA, Systematic Mapping
