whitepaper Secure XML Traffic at 10G2008-04-01 LSI
  SOA and Web Services have become central elements of enterprise traffic, and Web 2.0 applications using XML have become commonplace. New threats specific to this kind of traffic have fueled demand for enhanced enterprise security solutions. At RSA 2008, LSI demonstrated several responses to these threats and confirmed that fully networked, packet-oriented processing techniques combined with multicore platforms and an XML hardware accelerator can secure XML traffic at multi-gigabit rates. This paper examines these techniques and presents a logical and coherent argument for deployment of an effective threat processing environment for the high-speed enterprise.

But the message is clear: businesses need to reduce time to market, improve business alignment for growth, and do a better job of unlocking valuable information within an organization. An SOA environment, with its emphasis on reusability and flexibility, is often the optimal answer for many companies.

whitepaper SOA Centers of Excellence: Preserving Order Amid Change2008-03-21 Oracle

whitepaper Referencing Multiple Web Services From an Application Client2008-03-14 Sun Microsystems
  JSR 109: Implementing Enterprise Web Services defines the programming model and runtime architecture for implementing web services in Java. The architecture builds on the Java EE component architecture to provide a client and server programming model that is portable and interoperable across application servers. JSR 109 defines two ways of implementing a web service. One way is based on the Java class programming model - the web service is implemented by a Java class that runs in a web container. The other way is based on the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) programming model - the web service is implemented as a stateless session bean that runs in an EJB container.

whitepaper Using SAS BI Web Services and PROC SOAP in a Service-Oriented Architecture2008-03-13 SAS Institute
  Many businesses are just starting to use a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). In order to build an understanding of what an SOA consists of and to help create a road map for achieving the benefits of SOA, an Enterprise Service-Oriented Maturity Model (ESOMM) (Oellermann, 2006) has been defined. This ESOMM divides SOA into three categories: Implementation (to provide a service), Consumption (to use a service), and Administration (to govern the use of services). SAS provides many capabilities for enhancing the maturity of an SOA. Implementation capabilities include SAS BI Web services; consumption capabilities include PROC SOAP; and administration capabilities include the use of Metadata and container features. These capabilities, as well as advice on how to increase the maturity of a service-oriented architecture, are provided.
