Dependency-Oriented Thinking

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a somewhat disappointing technology buzzword from the last decade associated with expensive and heavyweight technology that does not provide as much of a return on investment as was hyped - or is it? Has the industry just failed to understand and exploit the power of SOA? Ganesh Prasad aims to reignite SOA practice with a fresh lightweight yet rigorous method based on the single most important element that underlies all types of system interactions - the notion of dependencies. Dependency-Oriented Thinking is the book that reveals these secrets for the first time. Volume 2 is aimed at business executives heads of IT enterprise architects and project managers. It provides them with a formal method to direct and manage the development of systems that deliver business agility sustainably reduce cost and minimise operational risk - the goals of SOA.
