Defining SOA as an Architectural Style: Align Your Business Model With Technology

0 votes
Overview
There is a lot of talk about SOA, yet very little agreement on what this popular three-letter acronym actually means. With many competing definitions, it's hard to decipher its true essence. SearchWebServices.com announced a contest for the best definition and received a slew of submissions. There was little chance of selecting a single "Best" definition because SOA means different things to different people. A more holistic definition of the architectural style, provided in Convergent architecture: Building model-driven J2EE systems with UML, states that "An architectural style is a family of architectures related by common principles and attributes."
