Abstract
As services continue achieving more importance in the development of software solutions for the Internet, software developers and researchers turn their attention to strategies based on the SOC (Service-Oriented Computing) paradigm. One of these development approaches is SOD-M specifically designed for building service-oriented solutions. In this article we present the results of redesigning a real-world Web-based Information System, called MEDiWIS, using SOD-M. The main goal of the redesigned MEDiWIS system is to support the storage and management of digital medical images and related information by presenting its functionalities as software services. We analyze in detail the main challenges we have found using an ACMDA (Architecture-Centric Model-Driven Architecture) approach to achieve this goal.
