Abstract
:
The
software industry has evolved from structured methods to procedural
programming and then towards object oriented technology and
component based architecture. The next step in it’s
evolution is Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). SOA is gaining
ground in a revolutionary pace in the industry.
The SOA paradigm is gaining traction from companies including
banks, healthcare, pharmaceutical and retail majors on one
hand and IT product companies and Open Source communities
on the other.
It is not an understatement to say that non-SOA development
would be legacy and obsolete. It is therefore important that
we understand and appreciate what SOA is all about.
Presentation will explain fundamentals involved in SOA. These
will include – Services Definition; Understanding Types
of Services; Service Interface, Contract and Policies; Concepts
of Service Provider, Consumer, Registry; WS* Standards; BPEL,
BAM, BPM; Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) – mediation,
routing and Transformation; QoS; Transaction Management in
Service Portfolio and SOA Governance aspects.
