Design of a Service-Oriented Architecture for Federated Systems

Overview A Federated System is a collection of independent, cooperative, possibly heterogeneous and autonomous computer systems (usually database systems) which allows sharing all or some of its data. A Service-Oriented Architecture is an application architecture whose functionalities are defined as independent services which offer transparent communication between physically distributed components, possibly heterogeneous and autonomous. In this context, it is interesting to analyze how a Federated System can be designed within the ideas proposed by Service-Oriented Architectures. This paper presents the design of a Service-Oriented Architecture for Federated Systems.

Quocirca's Straight Talking: We must simplify SOA

Quocirca's Straight Talking: Grid's a 'no-brainer'

Grid is dependent on virtualisation of the environment - of the network, storage, databases, hardware and services - and this is happening due to the move towards open standards and the acceptance of web services and service oriented architectures...

Quocirca's Straight Talking: Gov't IT - get it right

The advent of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) should be an absolute godsend for public sector IT, where the need to employ 'joined up' services across organisations mirrors the need to apply processes across different parts of the value chain...

Q&A: SAP CEO Henning Kagermann

But if I met such a customer, I would tell him that over time he will spend more money because it's very difficult to manage such a heterogeneous environment of point solutions - even if it's on top of an open platform.

Quocirca's Straight Talking: SOA - huh?

Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) are the subject de jour with IT vendors, who have been using the term as if the concept has been totally understood by the buying audience and is well along the way to general implementation.

HP does SOA much more

Without naming competitors, Hogan said HP's expertise in operations, rather than software development tools or middleware, allows it to play a more neutral role in managing "heterogeneous" systems with products from multiple providers.

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
