Towards a Mathematical Foundation for Service-Oriented Applications Design

Overview Leveraging service oriented programming paradigm would significantly affect the way people build software systems. However, to achieve this goal a solid software design methodology should be grounded on proper mathematical foundations, specific service-oriented principles, concepts and patterns. This paper contributes to the above goal proposing a lightweight, but complete, mathematical framework capable of capturing the essential components of service-oriented programming paradigm. To this end, the authors propose mathematical definitions for individual service, service-oriented environment and service-oriented application. Analysis of the properties and the functionalities of these components with respect to data processing mechanisms enables to introduce a service-oriented application classification schema.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
