Chapter 1. Introduction 7do not provide satisfying information then other books, conference and journalpapers are studied. Web pages are referenced mainly when some knowledge abouttechnology is needed. Literature review is conducted until a satisfying informationis not found. The review takes in<strong>to</strong> account year <strong>of</strong> publication <strong>of</strong> foundsources. The newest publications are revised in the first order. The main sources<strong>of</strong> journals and conference papers are: IEEE, Inspec, Springer and ACM digitallibrary. Literature review in domain <strong>of</strong> <strong>Architectural</strong> <strong>Pattern</strong>s and SOA is conductedseparately. Information provided by literature review is further analysedand synthesisedLiterature Review in the domain <strong>of</strong> <strong>Architectural</strong> <strong>Pattern</strong>s is applied in order <strong>to</strong>establish procedure for selection <strong>of</strong> architectural pattern( answer for RQ.3).Theprocedure is further applied and results <strong>of</strong> each activity is analysed. The patternfor migration is chosen based on those results (answer for RQ.4).In case <strong>of</strong> SOA, literature review is conducted twice. The purpose <strong>of</strong> the firstreview is <strong>to</strong> investigate the existing methods <strong>of</strong> migration <strong>to</strong> SOA (answer forRQ.1). The second literature review is meant <strong>to</strong> find elements that will build thetarget architecture (answer for RQ.5). The identified methods <strong>of</strong> migration arefurther analysed in order <strong>to</strong> identify their advantages and drawbacks (answer forRQ.2). Design <strong>of</strong> the target architecture (answer for RQ.6) is result <strong>of</strong> analysisoutcome <strong>of</strong> literature review providing building blocks <strong>of</strong> the target architecture.Information gathered during selection <strong>of</strong> the architectural pattern for migrationand elaboration <strong>of</strong> the target architecture is further synthesised in order <strong>to</strong> elaboratetranslation between the chosen architectural pattern and the target SOA(answer for RQ.7). Finally the information gather during analysis <strong>of</strong> identifiedmigration <strong>to</strong> SOA techniques is synthesised with the elaborated guidelines (answerfor RQ.8).Overview <strong>of</strong> the described process is presented in figure 1.1. The EO.8 is notpresent in the figure because it is not a direct outcome <strong>of</strong> research questions.
