SharePoint Application Server Topology and Services Dependencies

Hi,
Is there any list or table that details the services that are required for each application server role?
I am asking this question since some roles (such as search crawler) require more than one service application.
Thank you,

Hi amx2012,
I don't fully understand what you mean about services required on each application server. When required, your specific functionality like search can be increased performance. This basically means you can use only one service application for Search, User Profile...
Some references I can recommend:

The chart in the "Planning and Designing Service Application Architecture – Part 2" is exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you very much.
