Service-Oriented Software System Engineering

Current IT developments like component-based development and Web services have emerged as effective ways of building complex enterprise-scale information systems and providing enterprise application integration. To aid this process platforms such as .NET and WebSphere have become standards in web-based systems development. However there are still a lot of issues that need to be addressed before service-oriented software engineering (SOSE) becomes a prominent and widely accepted paradigm for enterprise information systems development and integration. Service-Oriented Software System Engineering: Challenges and Practices provides a comprehensive view of SOSE through a number of different perspectives. Some of those perspectives include: service-based concepts modeling and documentation service discovery and composition service-oriented architecture model-driven development of service-oriented applications service security and service-orientation in mobile settings. It provides readers with an in-depth knowledge of the main challenges and practices in the exciting new world of service-oriented software engineering. Addressing both technical and organizational aspects of this new field this book offers a balance making it valuable to a variety of readers including IT architects developers managers and analysts.
