SOA for Architects

Service Oriented Architecture

Service Oriented Architecture for Architects – SOA-3

Duration: 2 days

Overview:

Defining a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is the current challenge of many enterprise IT organizations. The emergent popularity of Web Services, and its ease of implementation, has muddied the waters, as many have adopted an incremental approach to SOA via Web Services, without first thinking through the larger architectural issues. This course sets the context for describing an SOA from an architectural perspective, coming to grips with the reality of this emerging technology, and providing a detailed understanding of the elements that comprise SOA, as well as techniques and practices for creating organization wide software integration solutions using SOA concepts.

Topics:

• What is SOA
• SOA Strategies
• The elements of a Service Oriented Architecture
• Describing a Service Oriented Architecture
• Service Oriented Integration
• Migrating from traditional architectures to SOA
• Designing and documenting a service oriented architecture for an organization
• Process and Activities for SOA
• Next Steps

Audience:

This course is designed principally for the technical and enterprise architects. However, designers, and other project team members who are interested in understanding SOA concepts will greatly benefit from this course. It is also beneficial to technical leads and software quality assurance personnel who oversee development of systems and require an understanding of the process and the artifacts being produced.

Prior architectural and high-level design experience.

Objectives:

• Understand the basic concepts of SOA
