Which of the following life cycle modeling activities establishes service relationships and message exchange paths?

Question

Options

• AService-oriented logical design modeling
• BService-oriented conceptual architecture modeling
• CService-oriented discovery and analysis modeling
• DService-oriented business integration modeling

Explanation

Service-oriented logical design modeling (A) is correct because this phase is specifically where architects formally define service interfaces, establish how services relate to one another, and specify the message exchange paths - essentially the "wiring diagram" of how services connect and communicate.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (Conceptual architecture modeling) operates at a higher, more abstract level - it defines the overall structural vision and guiding principles, not specific service-to-service relationships.
• C (Discovery and analysis modeling) is focused on identifying candidate services and analyzing business requirements - it's about finding what services should exist, not how they talk to each other.
• D (Business integration modeling) deals with aligning services with business processes and workflows, not with the technical establishment of message paths between services.

Memory tip: Associate Logical design = Lines of communication. "Logical" is the phase where you draw the lines connecting services and define the messages that travel along them - it's where the blueprint becomes a working network diagram.
