SERVICE-BASED SOFTWARE DESIGNING ASSISTANCE METHOD AND APPARATUS THEREOF

In a method and an apparatus of providing effective input/output data connections between services, for reducing load on a designer when designing service-based software application, which is described by a process flow language, there are provided the following means or steps: while storing connection histories of input/output data of the service within the software designing made in the past, selection is made arbitrarily on an output(s) of other service, which is/are connectable with all the inputs of the service selected, from selection information of the service becoming the service process flow describing only the processing order and a process target, conducting a process for driving production probability of connection combination of the input and the output from the connection histories, on all of the connection combinations, and outputting the connection combination(s) being high in the production probability extracted among of them.
