SOA: Principles of Service Design (The Prentice Hall Service-Oriented Computing Series from Thomas Erl)
SOA Principles of Service Design - The Prentice Hall Service-Oriented Computing Series from Thomas Erl Author:Thomas Erl The Definitive Guide to Service Design for SOA The key to succeeding with service-oriented architecture (SOA) is in comprehending the meaning and significance of its most fundamental building block: the service. It is through an understanding of service design that truly ?service-oriented? solution logic can be created in support of achi... more »eving the strategic goals associated with SOA and service-oriented computing. Bestselling SOA author Thomas Erl guides you through a comprehensive, insightful, and visually rich exploration of the service-orientation design paradigm, revealing exactly how services should and should not be designed for real-world SOA. This book’s in-depth coverage includes: · Over 240 full-color illustrations · A concise introduction to SOA and service-oriented computing concepts and benefits · A thorough exploration of the service-orientation design paradigm as represented by eight specific design principles · A comparison of service-oriented and object-oriented concepts and principles and a clear definition of what qualifies as ?service-oriented? logic · Detailed coverage of four different forms of service-related design granularity · An exhaustive examination of service contracts, with an emphasis on standardization, abstraction, and the utilization of WS-Policy, XML Schema, and WSDL definitions · A comprehensive study of various forms of service-related coupling with an emphasis on the requirements to attaining a suitable level of loose coupling. · An inside look into how commercial design approaches are incorporated to achieve truly agnostic and reusable service logic · Techniques for maximizing service reliability, scalability, and performance by instilling high levels of autonomy and emphasizing stateless design · Approaches for positioning services as highly discoverable and interpretable enterprise resources · Unprecedented coverage of how to design services for participation in complex compositions · The definition of concrete links between each design principle and the strategic goals and benefits of SOA and service-oriented computing · Numerous cross-references to key design patterns documented separately in SOA: Design Patternswww.soabooks.com supplements this book with a variety of resources, including content updates, corrections, and sample chapters from other books. www.soaspecs.com provides further support by establishing a descriptive portal to industry specifications referenced in all of the series titles. www.soaglossary.com establishes a master glossary for all SOA titles in this series. www.prenhallprofessional.com www.soabooks.com www.soasystems.com Foreword Chapter 1: Overview Chapter 2: Case Study Background Part I: Fundamentals Chapter 3: Service-Oriented Computing and SOA Chapter 4: Service-Orientation Chapter 5: Understanding Design Principles Part II: Design Principles Chapter 6: Service Contracts (Standardization and Design) Chapter 7: Service Coupling (Intra-Service and Consumer Dependencies) Chapter 8: Service Abstraction (Information Hiding and Meta Abstraction Types) Chapter 9: Service Reusability (Commercial and Agnostic Design) Chapter 10: Service Autonomy (Processing Boundaries and Control) Chapter 11: Service Statelessness (State Management Deferral and Stateless Design) Chapter 12: Service Discoverability (Interpretability and Communication) Chapter 13: Service Composability (Composition Member Design and Complex Compositions) Part III: Supplemental Chapter 14: Service-Orientation and Object-Orientation: A Comparison of Principles and Concepts Chapter 15: Supporting Practices Chapter 16: Mapping Service-Orientation Principles to Strategic Goals Appendices Appendix A: Case Study Conclusion Appendix B: Process Descriptions Appendix C: Principles and Patterns Cross-Reference Additional Resources About the Author
