Service Oriented Architectures and the Mainframe

Overview Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a technology architecture that has gained mass appeal throughout the IT industry. The basic promise of an SOA is the development of reusable services that abstracts the capabilities of underlying IT applications. Each of these services should represent an atomic business transaction and be constructed such that any set of services can be assembled regardless of implementation to create a Service Oriented Business Application (SOBA). The allure of having a well defined, self-documenting set of services that represent atomic business transactions that can easily be assembled into business applications is powerful.
