service-oriented computing
|
Service-oriented computing is an umbrella term used to represents a new generation distributed computing platform. As such, it encompasses many things, including its own design paradigm and design principles, design pattern catalogs, pattern languages, a distinct architectural model, and related concepts, technologies, and frameworks.
Service-oriented computing builds upon past distributed computing platforms and adds new design layers, governance considerations, and a vast set of preferred implementation technologies.
The strategic goals and benefits associated with service-oriented computing include:
• increased intrinsic interoperability
• increased federation
• increased vendor diversification options
• increased business and technology domain alignment
• increased ROI
• increased organizational agility
• reduced IT burden
The fundamental elements of a service-oriented computing platform include:
• service-oriented architecture
• service-orientation
• service-oriented solution logic
• services
• service compositions
• service inventory
