whitepaper E-Learning (MOODLE) Based on Service Oriented Architecture2008-04-07 De Montfort University
  Technological development has become so manifest in all fields that it is now highly crucial to take it into consideration whenever possible. Such development has resulted in the tremendous amount of information that exists nowadays. Therefore, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has become an active area of research and development. Web services as an example of SOA support the integration of software applications in an incremental way, using existing platforms and languages that utilize and adopt existing legacy systems. Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) are one of the emerging domains that require to be extended to SOA.

whitepaper SOA Best Practices and Design Patterns: Keys to Successful Service-Oriented Architecture Implementation2008-04-03 Oracle
  There is no question that the successful implementation of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) relies on a careful and holistic approach to business planning. One of the most important tools in the evaluation, purchase, and ongoing use of SOA is the body of best practices that vendors, consultants, and customers have compiled. The promise of business agility, improved customer service, and competitive advantage with SOA is real. What varies most is the time, cost, and ease of SOA implementation. By learning from the experiences of those organizations that have been through the process and looking at the standard best practices of large-scale technology implementations, success can come earlier and more dramatically.

whitepaper The Future Is Here... Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI): Composite Technologies to Meet New Demands in Sales and Customer Service2008-04-01 SAP
  Regardless of the specific market requirements, however, it is clear that without sufficiently adaptive IT landscapes, utilities across the board will find it difficult to deliver on the promise of AMI. This is where enterprise Service-Oriented Architecture (enterprise SOA) comes into play. Enterprise SOA is a business-driven software architecture that goes beyond the fundamentals of service-oriented architecture, allowing utilities to flexibly expose various technology components within the IT landscape as Web services and more easily compose solutions to support AMI. This paper examines how AMI is gaining a foothold in energy markets and explains how utilities can use enterprise SOA to make AMI a reality for those facing new and unanswered market challenges.

whitepaper Realizing Business Value From an Integrated Service-Oriented Architecture System in a Multivendor World2008-04-01 IBM
  Most analyst surveys agree that close to half of the companies around the world today are already investing in functional deployments, piloting, or seriously considering a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) system. The projections vary widely, with investments expected to reach anywhere from $18.4 billion by 2012 to as high as $160 billion. 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
  When first entertaining the notion of a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), most information technology (IT) professionals and business leaders rightly imagine the many benefits that their organizations will see in improved customer interaction, greater business agility, efficient asset reuse, and flexible growth options. Indeed, SOA is one of the bright lights of contemporary business strategy and, some would suggest, the inevitable technological outcome of our global, Web-centric world. Some have gone so far as to call SOA a revolution, not just in technology but in how one thinks about business infrastructure.

whitepaper Partners, Not Police: Holding Enterprise Architects Accountable for Successful Project Delivery2008-03-18 IBM
  In this paper, learn about some fundamental challenges that IT teams face when working with enterprise architects, and find out how to apply enterprise architecture standards to application development and cooperate in project delivery to reach a desired outcome. The role of Enterprise Architecture (EA) is changing. Adoption of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Web 2.0, and other technologies is changing the way software systems are built. Traditional EA concepts were developed before SOA and Web 2.0. They are more suited to large application development projects, rather than the agile, services-based development.

whitepaper The Information Perspective of SOA Design, Part 4: The Value of Applying the Canonical Modeling Pattern in SOA2008-03-13 IBM
  Discover the approach and value of canonical modeling in SOA design. See how the canonical data models can be aligned in SOA with canonical message models. In this fourth paper in the "Information Aspect of SOA Related Design" series, learn about the concept's underlying data and message modeling regardless of the technology and tool choices. A future paper in this series describes how various IBM software products can be used to implement the concepts described here.   
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.

whitepaper Services-Based Enterprise Integration Patterns Made Easy, Part 2: More on the Evolution of Basic Concepts2008-03-06 IBM
  This paper, Part 2 of the series, picks up where the user left off in Part 1. Now that one has learned about the two earliest integration patterns - data sharing (socket programming) and Remote Procedure Call (RPC) - one continues developing the basic concepts. Check out two more developed patterns: distributed objects and asynchronous messaging. Explore the concepts of language independence, declaration of service interfaces, rudimentary ideas of publication and discovery of services, and basics of the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB).
