    Systems Development Integration Business Processes: Interoperable Services

    Service-oriented architecture (SOA) provides a design framework that structures large applications as collections of interoperable services. These services can be combined and reused to build flexible business applications that integrate existing systems and support business processes across organizations. SOA aims to improve system development and integration through loose coupling of services that can be accessed over a network.

    What is Soa Doing?

    • Service-oriented architecture (SOA) provides methods for systems development


    and integration where systems group functionality around business processes and
    package these as interoperable services.

    What do u mean by systems development and integration?


    • Developing applications and integrating

    “Systems group functionality around business processes”


    • A business process is a collection of related, structured activities or tasks that
    produce a specific service or product (serve a particular goal) for a particular
    customer or customers.

    What do u mean by interoperable services?


    • Interoperability is the ability of two or more systems or components to
    exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged

    What does SOA infrastructure do


    • SOA infrastructure is a system for describing IT infrastructure as a service.
    • An SOA infrastructure allows different applications to exchange data with one
    another as they participate in business processes.

    Service-orientation aims at a loose coupling of services with operating systems,


    programming languages and other technologies which underlie applications.[1]

    SOA separates functions into distinct units, or services, which developers make
    accessible over a network in order that users can combine and reuse them in the
    production of business applications.

    These services communicate with each other by passing data from one service to another,
    or by coordinating an activity between two or more services.

    Overview

    • Companies have long desire to integrate existing systems in order to implement


    information technology (IT) support for business processes that cover all present
    and prospective systems requirements needed to run the business end-to-end
    • SOA offers one such prospective architecture. It unifies business processes by
    structuring large applications as an ad hoc collection of smaller modules called
    "services"

    • Different groups of people both inside and outside an organization can use these
    applications, and new applications built from a mix of services from the global
    pool exhibit greater flexibility and uniformity

    [Different groups of people both inside and outside an organization can use these
    applications, and new applications built from a mix of services from the global pool
    exhibit greater flexibility and uniformity. One should not, for example, have to provide
    redundantly the same personal information to open an online checking, savings or IRA
    account, and further, the interfaces one interacts with should have the same look and feel
    and use the same level and type of input-data validation. Building all applications from
    the same pool of services makes achieving this goal much easier and more deployable to
    affiliated companies. For example: interacting with a rental-car company's reservation
    system from an airline's reservation system.]

    • Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) provides a design framework with a view to


    realizing rapid and low-cost system development and to improving total system-
    quality. SOA may use web services standards and web technologies and is rapidly
    becoming a standard approach for enterprise information systems.
    • Web services face significant challenges because of particular requirements.
    Applying the SOA paradigm to a real-time system presents many problems,
    including response time, support of event-driven, asynchronous parallel
    applications, complicated human interface support, reliability, etc.

    What is a Web Service?

    • A ''''Web service'''' (also Web Service) is defined by the W3C as "a software
    system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a
    network".
    • Web services are frequently just Web APIs that can be accessed over a network,
    such as the Internet, and executed on a remote system hosting the requested
    services
    • The W3C Web service definition contains many different systems, but in common
    usage the term refers to clients and servers that communicate over the HTTP
    protocol used on the Web. Such services tend to fall into one of two camps: Big
    Web Services and RESTful Web Services.
    • "Big Web Services" use XML messages that follow the SOAP standard and have
    been popular with traditional enterprise. In such systems, there is often a machine-
    readable description of the operations offered by the service written in the Web
    Services Description Language (WSDL). The latter is not a requirement of a
    SOAP endpoint, but it is a prerequisite for automated client-side code generation
    in many Java and .NET SOAP frameworks (frameworks such as Spring, Apache
    Axis2 and Apache CXF being notable exceptions). Some industry organizations,
    such as the WS-I, mandate both SOAP and WSDL in their definition of a Web
    service.
    • More recently, RESTful Web services have been regaining popularity, particularly
    with Internet companies. These also meet the W3C definition, and are often better
    integrated with HTTP than SOAP-based services. They do not require XML
    messages or WSDL service-API definitions.
