Abstract

The objective in this research is to introduce a method for identifying a service platform along with variant and unique modules to create a service family by integrating object-oriented concepts, ontologies, and data mining techniques. A service process model is introduced to describe a service based on a sequence using a graph model and object-oriented concepts. Fuzzy clustering is employed to partition service processes into subsets to identify common modules – the platform – and specific modules for the given service family. To demonstrate the proposed method, we apply it to select a platform for a family of banking services.
