    abstract     = "Surveys indicate that small businesses are not adopting {SOA} in the same extent as large enterprises. However there are only few studies examining how small businesses planning to adopt {SOA} can do this best.

This report examines different approach of service development, in order to evaluate and recommend the most suitable in the context of small ecommerce businesses migrating to {SOA,} by an incremental migration strategy.

The report describes the background of {SOA,} small business ecommerce and examines literature in regards to service development approaches for {SOA} migration. Important aspects in regards to small ecommerce businesses are identified in order to evaluate a case implementation.

The case implementation deals with the important ecommerce functionality of searching a product catalog. Two different services are developed and evaluated based on two service development approaches identified to be feasible.

The thesis concludes with recommending a redevelopment approach, based on its high degree of extendibility and low dependency of the non{-SOA} ecommerce system, from which the service functionality was extracted."
