The moment of software-as-a-service (SaaS) is undoubtedly upon us. The benefits the SaaS approach to software deployment are numerous and compelling, especially for small to mid sized organizations. The ability to have access to powerful technologies, with a minimal financial commitment has opened new vistas of productivity and competition to SMBs. But in spite of its much lauded wonders, the SaaS route is not without its perils. More used to decades old on premise software, most SMBs have little or no experience handling SaaS solutions. The rules for old on premise software analysis and purchase certainly don’t apply, as the vendor-customer relationship for SaaS is fundamentally different. In the case of on premise software, the vendor closes the sale, and makes a quick exit. But the SaaS relationship only begins with the sale. The customer entrusts the vendor with sensitive business data and is dependent on the vendor on an ongoing basis for the smooth running of systems, innovation, support and training. This dictates that new rigorous criteria be applied while assessing different SaaS solutions for our business problems. That is where the current white paper comes in. This white paper is a result of the authors’ extensive experience in the “SaaS for SMBs” arena, and lays down a comprehensive set of criteria that any SMB must consider while analyzing any SaaS solution.

Two important challenges for MDA designers are to make business rules independent of the platform specific model and to ensure the resulting implementation does not violate the properties within these business rules. In this paper we present an approach that allows developers to both describe and corroborate domain properties at run time. In our approach, an ontology specifies domain properties and translate it to aspect-oriented code. The implementation code could be automatically merged. As a result, we will be able to perform approval tests at runtime and to create business rules that can be reused in other MDA specific models. This novel approach shall be evaluates in a toolkit for reengineering an industrial furnace management application.
