A lot of software development procedures include methods of resolution, which correspond to several kinds of problems. Some of these procedures have properties, which open the possibility to combine different procedures to solve bigger problem areas. The development of these procedures heightens the problems and complexity for the developers, architects and customers.

The motivation of the author is the development of a method of resolution, which includes:<ul><li>the advantages of today ‘s well-known software developing features and<li>a service oriented approach combined with<li>a component and service oriented approach.</ul><p>The objectives of this research are:<ul><li>to reduce the known problems of software development,<li>increase software quality and<li>decrease (development) software complexity.</ul><p>To reach this objective, this paper shows a software construction process as an alternative. The bases of the process are a model driven development approach and a component based software development, using new defined and type based services to provide and use components. Basically seven state of the art software development procedures will be analysed and classified. The focus of analyse is set on the component based procedures and the advantages of all analysed procedures. The result is a definition of a Service based Software Construction Process (SSCP) and a scenario for future research tasks for the author, which are based on using Model Driven Development and Component Driven Development inside the SSCP.

The research, on which this paper is based, and the paper itself show that such a development procedure, with service specialisation, is possible and achieves the requirements.
