  Service-orientation is a promising paradigm that enables the engineering of
large-scale distributed software systems using rigorous software development
processes. The existing problem is that every service-oriented software
development project often requires a customized development process that
provides specific service-oriented software engineering tasks in support of
requirements unique to that project. To resolve this problem and allow
situational method engineering, we have defined a set of method fragments in
support of the engineering of the project-specific service-oriented software
development processes. We have derived the proposed method fragments from the
recurring features of eleven prominent service-oriented software development
methodologies using a systematic mining approach. We have added these new
fragments to the repository of OPEN Process Framework to make them available to
software engineers as reusable fragments using this well-known method
repository.
