An Evaluation Framework for Component-Based and Service-Oriented System Development Methodologies - Advanced Topics in Database Research - page 68

tasks have to consider the unlimited process power, and the “anywhere-anytime” informa-
tion retrieval capacity that has become available with the use of plug-and-play functional
components.
The research in CBD methods evaluations conducted so far has its limitations. One of
the main limitations of this research is that it covers a few well-documented and established
CBD methodologies. These methods have been evaluated using an average expert panel and
the authors' knowledge and experience gathered through available literature. There were no
interviews conducted to access the experiences of those who have used these methodologies
in practice. As the CBD and WS fi elds are quite new, experienced practitioners are rare. The
framework was based on a limited number of expert opinions and feedback was generated
via questionnaires to fi nd the appropriateness of the evaluation criteria. The approach can
be improved by analyzing the evaluation criteria via interviews with expert users of the
methods. Evaluation of the methods and the methodology framework used for this purpose
led us to propose possible improvements in the CBD and WS methodology practice.
