Enterprise Software Architecture and Design

This book fills a gap between high-level overview texts that areoften too general and low-level detail oriented technical handbooksthat lose sight the „big picture“. This book discusses SOAfrom the low-level perspective of middleware, various XML-basedtechnologies, and basic service design. It also examinesbroader implications of SOA, particularly where it intersects withbusiness process management and process modeling. Concreteoverviews will be provided of the methodologies in those fields, sothat students will have a hands-on grasp of how they may be used inthe context of SOA.
