One of the main challenges of this architecture isthe extraction and identification of services and compliance of identified services with business goals of the organization. In this paper, a method is presented to solve the problems non-compliance of services with the objectives of the organizations. In this method, after identification of the services, the tree of goals is produced and the target –service matrix is created. By examining this matrix, two important issuesare determined.
