Bell M. Service-oriented modeling: service analysis, design, and architecture

John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2008. – 387 pages.
Not long after the beginning of the current decade, the new service-oriented architecture (SOA) paradigm picked up steam and was established as a leading business and technology organizational concept. Lack of software asset reusability standards, absence of software interoperability disciplines, and incoherent business and technology strategies drove the enterprise to establish a more suitable model that promised to foster business agility and increase return on investment. This model also galvanized the development of SOA governance best practices, introduced SOA products, and promoted new service-oriented modeling disciplines.
The service-oriented modeling research presented in this book was driven by the following vision statements:
- Introduce a state-of-the-art and holistic modeling language that can facilitate an SOA implementation;
- Introduce advanced service life cycle concepts and processes that can be employed to manage service-oriented projects;
- Enable business and IT personnel to equally partner in service-oriented modeling efforts and to represent their unique perspectives.Service-Oriented Life Cycle
