IBM's SOA Foundation: An Architectural Introduction and Overview

Overview This paper has two purposes. First, it introduces the SOA Foundation as defined by IBM. In this capacity the paper will explain IBM's view of what Service Oriented Architecture is about, and provide a high level description of the architecture with a focus on its lifecycle model, logical architecture, programming model, and physical architecture. It will go on to provide some insight to the roadmaps for becoming an SOA-enable enterprise, and the role of SOA Governance in making SOA operational in the enterprise. Second, it will guide the reader to a huge wealth of existing information on SOA, especially that in the IBM Libraries for SOA.
