The survey booking tool is a web-based and highly automated tool to support the process around booking of vessel time for potential surveys. Its main task will be 1) schedule leads and surveys, 2) send automatic warnings on changes and conflicts, 3) inform about current resource usage and potential backlog.

This document describes the high-level architecture of the Survey Booking Application. Based on the COMBINE Requirements Model we present a reference architecture analysis of the Survey Booking Application that specifies each subsystem as a Tool, BusinessService or ResourceService component, their component interfaces, and the dependencies between the components.

Based on the COMBINE Requirements Model and COMBINE Architecture Model, we present here an architecture and design analysis of the Survey Booking Application. For each component, the use cases involved is broken down using BCE analysis and presented as BCE stereotype diagrams. These diagrams show the static relationship between boundary (interface), control and entity (data) classes. In the more complex use-case, a sequence diagram is used to show the dynamic relationship between these classes. Finally, a class design is presented for all components.

And second, to de-scribe how Micro-Workflow Architecture supports business processes in order to show the advantages of using the micro-workflow architecture integrated in a development process that uses business process models.

This document provides a bottom-up approach to the overall progress of COMBINE by listing and making explicit the technology choices already made, showing how to provide the right framework to address the specification of the Execution Environment. The document distinguishes which functionalities can be implemented by commodity products and identifies where custom development of infrastructure and service components is needed. It maps this sample to appropriate public domain and commercial products thus proving a starting catalogue that may be used to extend beyond iPAS (from IONA) the set of products used as part of the technical infrastructure.
