What is Service Oriented Architecture

1.

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.

2.

A style of building applications, which is essentially the integration of loosely coupled services. Learn more in: Grid, P2P and SOA Orchestration: An Integrated Application Architecture for Scientific Collaborations

3.

Service oriented architecture is an approach to the design of information systems. Within this approach an information system consists of various independent modules that interact through exposing service interfaces. Learn more in: Situational Enterprise Services

4.

This is a form of software design that allows different applications to interact in business processes regardless of specific technology like programming languages and operating systems. Learn more in: Open Source Database Technologies

5.

A style of information systems architecture that enables the creation of applications that are built by combining loosely couplet and interoperable services. Learn more in: OpenDLib: A Digital Library Service System

6.

(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.” Learn more in: Semantic Web in E-Government

7.

Also known as: “SOA” and “service oriented”; Similar to: “web services”; Associated in the manuscript with: “distributed computer system” and “networked systems” Learn more in: Overview of Service Oriented Architecture for Resource Management in P2P Systems

8.

A system architecture with packaged functionality as a suite of interoperable services that can be used within multiple separate systems from several business domains. Learn more in: Improving Industrial Product Lifecycle Management by Semantic Data Federations

9.

An architecture style that allows definition of reusable components as services and states that new applications can be built by assembling exiting reusable services. Learn more in: Testing Complex and Dynamic Business Processes
