Service-Oriented Architecture White Papers

Service-Oriented Architecture for Business Process Transformation

Overview The vision of computer systems interacting and collaborating with one another across platforms and programming language boundaries is one of the Holy Grails of the software industry. The reward of seizing this prize would be a software environment where development and maintenance run at the pace of changing business requirements; a world in which information and processes are dynamically integrated. Although the quest for development approaches that deliver fast, reusable results in an architecturally-responsible manner has proven elusive for decades, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) offers new potential for achieving these long-sought industry goals.
