In this chapter, Marc Fiammante presents multiple aspects for an enterprise to address in order to realize the value of a truly dynamic BPM and SOA approach.
The Logic Centralization pattern is one of the basic inventory design patterns that structures the service inventory in a way so that it is free from redundant solution logic and endeavors to increase the reuse potential of agnostic services by enforcing use of agnostic services according to their functional boundaries.
The viral affects of data are without bounds and can, under certain conditions, reach a pandemic state. Neal A. Fishman explores this concept in the introduction to his book.
The Canonical Protocol design pattern is one of the inventory standardization patterns that aims to elevate the composition-centric characteristic of SOA by making services interoperable with each other. By enforcing the use of a common communication framework, it eliminates the need for protocol bridging and increases the reusability and the recomposability potential of services in a service inventory.
The Event-Driven Messaging design pattern attempts to address the inefficiencies related to the use of the traditional polling based model by suggesting a publisher-subscriber based model whereby a service interaction occurs only when an event occurs within the boundary of the service provider.
Of all the patterns in the SOA design patterns catalog there is perhaps no other as simple to understand yet as difficult to apply in practice as Canonical Schema.
vSphere 4.0 is VMware's successor to Virtual Infrastructure 3 (VI3). In this chapter, Eric Siebert and Simon Seagrave introduce the many new features of vSphere 4.0.
Legal expert Robert McHale discusses the principal federal and state laws regulating cloud activities, and the legal security and privacy risks associated with cloud computing.
The Enterprise Inventory design pattern attempts to maximize the reusability and recomposition of services by proposing the development of services based on a single enterprise-wide service inventory.
At some point during its lifetime a service might need to be enhanced or modified as a result of an external or an internal stimulus. The Service Refactoring design pattern addresses this issue in a manner so that the existing service consumers are not affected by the required change.
Learn the basics of building an SCA application, including how to create components that offer services, configure those components and wire them together as part of a composite, expose a service as a web service, and package and deploy the composite to a domain.
You adopted MVC to get better control over your URL structure. Then you're asked to provide REST access over the same data. Instead of developing a new API and set of endpoints that mirrors what you already have, you can augment the existing application to respond to requests for JSON and XML as well as handle data updates and deletes. Scott Seely shows you how.
In Part 2 of this two-part series, legal expert Robert McHale discusses the practical due diligence checklist companies should consult before entering into a cloud service agreement.
IT has become the single-most visible point of latency when a business needs to change. However, it does not have to be this way. David S. Linthicum discusses how things got off track and how SOA and Cloud Computing can fix it.
Get a brief overview of the various Drupals (the project, the websites, and the association) and what they mean to you. You'll also see some examples of Drupal in action and get an overall look at how Drupal works.
The ESB is a compound pattern that pulls together many enablement and enforcement capabilities that come in handy to the SOA practitioner. Thomas Rischbeck explains it here.
The Policy Centralization pattern advocates that we keep a reusable policy in a single definition and have service contracts to which the policy applies, link to and share this definition.
