Service-based System Pattern

A Service-based System Pattern is a system pattern that organizes service components into cohesive structures for delivering service value (through service interactions and value exchanges).

AKA: Service-Based System Pattern, Service Architecture Pattern, Service Organization Pattern.
Context:
- It can establish Service Structure through component organization.
- It can maintain Service Flow through interaction design.
- It can enable Value Creation through service integration.
- It can coordinate Service Components through interaction protocols.
- It can manage Service Resources through allocation mechanisms.
- ...
- It can often require Service Infrastructure through system platforms.
- It can often involve Service Interfaces through interaction points.
- It can often need Service Protocols through interaction rules.
- It can often include Service Monitoring through system controls.
- It can often maintain Service Standards through quality assurance.
- ...
- It can range from being a Simple Service System to being a Complex Service System, depending on its component complexity.
- It can range from being a Centralized Service System to being a Distributed Service System, depending on its architectural structure.
- It can range from being a Monolithic Service System to being a Modular Service System, depending on its component coupling.
- It can range from being a Static Service System to being a Dynamic Service System, depending on its adaptation capability.
- It can range from being a Closed Service System to being an Open Service System, depending on its integration flexibility.
- ...
- It can integrate with Service Technology through system platforms.
- It can connect with Service Management through system controls.
- It can interact with Service Innovation through system evolution.
- It can support Service Delivery through system capabilitys.
- ...
Examples:
- Service Domain Systems, such as:
  - Professional Service Systems, such as:
    - Healthcare System coordinating medical services.
    - Legal Service System organizing legal practices.
  - Technical Service Systems, such as:
    - Cloud Service System providing digital services.
    - Platform Service System enabling service marketplaces.
- Service Architecture Types, such as:
  - Integrated Service Systems, such as:
    - Enterprise Service System combining business services.
    - Network Service System connecting distributed services.
  - Specialized Service Systems, such as:
    - Microservice System implementing modular services.
    - Event-Driven System handling service events.
- ...
Counter-Examples:
- Product System Pattern, which organizes physical product creation rather than service delivery.
- Resource System Pattern, which manages resource allocation rather than service provision.
- Manufacturing System Pattern, which coordinates production processes rather than service processes.
- Data System Pattern, which handles information flows rather than service flows.
