It is four months since the SOA manifesto was announced; InfoQ interviewed the original author’s and in some cases pulled in their comments on the manifesto from the web to get a broad understanding of the manifesto, as well as provide insight into the goals of the participants, individually and as a whole, and provide transparency to the mechanics involved in putting together such an initiative.
This week, the fourth annual QCon London is in progress. Starting on March 8th with tutorials and ending on March 12th with a "meet the speakers" social, there will be a lot happening. This article describes the many ways that readers can follow along with the events at QCon as they are happening.
Much has been written about SOA Patterns and Anti-Patterns over the years, and while SOA Principles are well defined and documented, their Anti-Principles are typically ignored or overlooked. Steve Jones discusses the need for more effort to be put into anti-patterns and starts with a few of his own.
In this article, Michael Poulin discusses agility-to-market changes that IT can gain using a strategy oriented onto the services. Using concepts of service-orientation as the major construct of the technical product portfolio, accompanied by a techniques he calls Spline Tactics, he examines how businesses can achieve strategic agility.
A new book by David Linthicum, Cloud Computing and SOA Convergence in Your Enterprise: A Step-by-Step Guide, describes how to get the enterprise ready for cloud computing by carefully modeling enterprise data, information services and processes in a service oriented manner to make the transition to providing and consuming cloud services easier.
Robert D. Schneider explains why enterprises should invest in testing especially if they are deploying an SOA initiative, and offers 7 service testing fundamentals: thoroughly service testing, using large amounts of realistic data, security testing, getting high developer and tester productivity, tracking test results, testing under anticipated loads, and properly governing services.
Beside casual challenges met in implementing SOA, Sastry Malladi talks about additional ones encountered while implementing large scale SOA deployments, giving eBay as example of an efficient, extensible and scalable SOA platform accompanied by an automated governing process.
In this interview conducted by Stefan Tilkov, Guilherme Silveira compares Restfulie, a hypermedia-centric REST framework, with other RESTful frameworks and explains the difference between its Java and Ruby implementations.
In this interview from QCon San Francisco 2009, Don Box discusses the history of SOAP, XML, XML Schema, RELAX NG, SOAP and WSDL, REPL, opinions on REST, REST at Microsoft, coexistence of REST and WS-*, the M programming language, M and DSLs, M versus XML/XML Schema, Data as XML, and future plans for M and data modeling at Microsoft.
Composite Software offers a new level of granularity when compared to SaaS (Software as a Service). Composite Software is about enabling "right-sourcing", i.e. move (or keep) arbitrary small or large elements of functionality wherever it is the most cost effective to operate them, not just entire systems. Economically, "right-sourcing" is far more efficient than "outsourcing" and SaaS. The goal of this book is start by understanding today’s software construction processes and technologies and explore why and how it should be evolved to support core composition mechanisms.
This book argues that for SOA to succeed we must move our thoughts away from the implementation technologies and towards the "what" of the business. Using a straight-forward, pictorially driven, methodology the book explains who to discover what the business services really are and how to construct an overall business service architecture.
