What is Service Oriented Architecture

Chapter 12
Handbook of Research on Architectural Trends in Service-Driven Computing
A technological approach and methodology for building business applications. These business applications implement business processes or services through a set of loosely coupled, black-box components orchestrated to deliver a well-defined level of service.

Abstract
Service-Oriented Architecture supports sharing resources and transforming business services into a set of linked Web services. Web services rely on non-functional attributes managed through Web Service standards (WS-*) and Quality of Service (QoS) specifications. However, traditionally, the functionality related to QoS and WS-* specifications is scattered and tangled all over the main service code, making the maintenance of these Web services expensive and complex. Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) provides abstraction techniques and language constructs to manage and separate these crosscutting concerns from other parts of the system. This chapter focuses on explaining the concepts of dynamic and adaptive Web service composition and proposes an adaptive Web service architecture to enhance reusability of services using the Aspect-Oriented approach. This approach enables separating crosscutting concerns such as QoS and WS-* specifications in aspect Web services and integrating them with the base Web services on the fly. This architecture is based on AO4BPEL, an aspect-oriented extension to BPEL, which reduces the complexity in dynamic selection and reuse of non-functional attributes. This methodology can facilitate dynamic composition of services and business processes in on-premise and Cloud computing environments.

Semantic Web in E-Government
(SOA): is literally an architecture which relies on service-orientation. It is a reliable and relatively simple infrastructure which allows greater data integration, interoperability and the coordination of a collection of heterogeneous systems. OASIS (the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) defines SOA as: “A paradigm for organizing and utilizing distributed capabilities that may be under the control of different ownership domains. It provides a uniform means to offer, discover, interact with and use capabilities to produce desired effects consistent with measurable preconditions and expectations.”
