Introduction to Service-Oriented Computing

Overview The Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) paradigm refers to the set of concepts, principles, and methods that represent computing in Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) in which software applications are constructed based on independent component services with standard interfaces. The main idea of SOC/SOA is to explicitly separate software engineering from programming, to emphasize on software engineering, and to deemphasize on programming. SOC separates software development into three independent parties: Application builders (by software engineers), service providers (by programmers), and service brokers (joint effort from standard organizations, computer industry, and government).
