Service-based System Pattern

A Service-based System Pattern is a system pattern that organizes service components into cohesive structures for delivering service value (through service interactions and value exchanges).

• AKA: Service-Based System Pattern, Service Architecture Pattern, Service Organization Pattern.
• Context:
  • It can establish Service Structure through component organization.
  • It can maintain Service Flow through interaction design.
  • It can enable Value Creation through service integration.
  • It can coordinate Service Components through interaction protocols.
  • It can manage Service Resources through allocation mechanisms.
  • ...
  • It can often require Service Infrastructure through system platforms.
  • It can often involve Service Interfaces through interaction points.
  • It can often need Service Protocols through interaction rules.
  • It can often include Service Monitoring through system controls.
  • It can often maintain Service Standards through quality assurance.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Service System to being a Complex Service System, depending on its component complexity.
  • It can range from being a Centralized Service System to being a Distributed Service System, depending on its architectural structure.
  • It can range from being a Monolithic Service System to being a Modular Service System, depending on its component coupling.
  • It can range from being a Static Service System to being a Dynamic Service System, depending on its adaptation capability.
  • It can range from being a Closed Service System to being an Open Service System, depending on its integration flexibility.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Service Technology through system platforms.
  • It can connect with Service Management through system controls.
  • It can interact with Service Innovation through system evolution.
  • It can support Service Delivery through system capabilitys.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Service Domain Systems, such as:
    • Professional Service Systems, such as:
      • Healthcare System coordinating medical services.
      • Legal Service System organizing legal practices.
    • Technical Service Systems, such as:
      • Cloud Service System providing digital services.
      • Platform Service System enabling service marketplaces.
  • Service Architecture Types, such as:
    • Integrated Service Systems, such as:
      • Enterprise Service System combining business services.
      • Network Service System connecting distributed services.
    • Specialized Service Systems, such as:
      • Microservice System implementing modular services.
      • Event-Driven System handling service events.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Product System Pattern, which organizes physical product creation rather than service delivery.
  • Resource System Pattern, which manages resource allocation rather than service provision.
  • Manufacturing System Pattern, which coordinates production processes rather than service processes.
  • Data System Pattern, which handles information flows rather than service flows.
