Service-Oriented World - Introduction to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

A ghost travels our world, a ghost of abstraction. McKenzie Wark writes in his famous Hacker Manifesto. And really. The service-based or service-oriented world is also the world of abstraction. The world of abstract services. These abstractions hide their content from the world, are autonomous, have a minimal relationship with each other, but are able to organize into compositions to achieve specific goals. And that goal is usually corporate success as the rational basis for the existence of today’s real, concrete world. And in the concrete world, abstract services become concrete implemented web services, so the principle becomes IT. In a service-oriented world, services compete freely with each other and this competitive situation allows for ever better quality of service. There are no centralized regulations in this competition, no dependencies - the ever-changing conditions of the competition shape their renewable features. With the book, the author gives a consistent, clear picture of the service-oriented world. The volume touches on corporate management and IT management as well as service design details: it is for executives, IT project managers and professionals, as well as students in IT and organizational subjects. The book focuses on SOA design, design, business logic, organization, and technology: design patterns, SOA project details, service lifecycle steps, SOA management, implementation issues, and the relationship between SOA and Cloud. The Service-Based World is a kind of contribution to the widespread dissemination of service-oriented principles and practices that have already been successfully taught in IT higher education and are already effective in several advanced IT companies.
