EVALUATION OF COMPUTABILITY CRITERIONS FOR RUNTIME WEB SERVICE INTEGRATIONijwscjournal
T Today’s competitive environment drives the enterprises to extend their focus and collaborate with their business partners to carry out the necessities. Tight coordination among business partners assists to share and integrate the service logic globally. But integrating service logics across diverse enterprises leads to
exponential problem which stipulates developers to comprehend the whole service and must resolve suitable method to integrate the services. It is complex and time-consuming task. So the present focus is to have a mechanized system to analyze the Business logics and convey the proper mode to integrate them.
There is no standard model to undertake these issues and one such a framework proposed in this paper examines the Business logics individually and suggests proper structure to integrate them. One of the innovative concepts of proposed model is Property Evaluation System which scrutinizes the service logics and generates Business Logic Property Schema (BLPS) for the required services. BLPS holds necessary information to recognize the correct structure for integrating the service logics. At the time of integration, System consumes this BLPS schema and suggests the feasible ways to integrate the service logics. Also if the service logics are attempted to integrate in invalid structure or attempted to violate accessibility levels, system will throw exception with necessary information. This helps developers to ascertain the efficient structure to integrate the services with least effort.
The chapter discusses key concepts of loose coupling in service-oriented architectures (SOA) such as asynchronous communication, heterogeneous data types, and the use of mediators. Loose coupling aims to reduce dependencies between distributed systems to improve scalability, fault tolerance, and flexibility. While loose coupling has benefits, the document notes it also has drawbacks such as added complexity, so the appropriate degree of loose or tight coupling must be determined for each system.
The document describes design patterns for enterprise application integration (EAI). It discusses patterns related to service oriented architecture, notification, composition, testing, and optimization. Specific patterns covered include interoperability, service directory, event monitor, observer, publish/subscribe, and messaging bridge. The document provides goals, solutions, diagrams, and hints for each pattern to help with common integration problems.
This document discusses enterprise application integration (EAI), which seeks to provide efficient, reliable data exchange between multiple enterprise applications. EAI involves integrating various types, including information portals, data replication, shared business functions, service-oriented architecture, and distributed business processes. The main challenges with integration are that networks are unreliable and slow, and any two applications are different. Common integration approaches include file transfer, shared databases, remote procedure invocation, and messaging. Messaging in particular allows for high-speed, asynchronous, and reliable integration through send-and-forget and store-and-forward communication.
Web Services-Enhanced Agile Modeling and Integrating Business ProcessesMustafa Salam
We propose a model-driven approach, based on Web services standards, for modeling and integrating agile business processes using Web services. The choice of focusing on Web services technology was not arbitrary. The large and broad adoption of this technology by enterprises will lead most business processes to be performed using Web services. Besides, the added value of Web services and their great interest to business process management are beyond doubt. Web services produce, on the one hand, loosely coupled applicative components.
On the other hand, they are the most widely used implementation technology of SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture), which is based on the large experiences of software and distributed component technologies. Being founded on the XML (eXtensible Markup Language) language, the SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) protocol and the UDDI (Universal Description Discovery and Integration) repository, this technology can be considered as an appropriate mean to ensure interoperability, data exchange and the publication and discovery of business processes when they can be implemented as Web services.
This document provides an overview of service-oriented architecture (SOA) and metrics to measure coupling in SOA. It first defines key concepts in SOA like loosely coupled services, service orientation, and service-oriented computing. It then discusses the three planes of SOA - service foundations, service composition, and service management and monitoring. Finally, it proposes using metrics to measure coupling between services to predict maintainability during the design phase of SOA systems.

It discusses key SOA concepts like service composition, decomposition, and how individual services can be combined to automate business processes. Implementation requires services to be developed following standards like web services and use of frameworks to ensure reliability, security, and management of interactions between composed services. Overall, the document aims to translate SOA principles into practice by demonstrating how services can work together through composition.
This document discusses principles of service-oriented architecture (SOA). It defines different types of services like entity services, utility services, and task services. It explains concepts like service granularity, the four tenets of SOA around explicit boundaries, shared schemas/contracts, compatibility policies, and service autonomy. It also covers principles like standardized contracts, loose coupling, abstraction, reusability, statelessness, discoverability, and composability. The document provides examples and definitions for each principle to outline how to design services according to SOA.
This document discusses principles of service-oriented architecture (SOA) and service loose coupling. It defines service loose coupling as contracts being decoupled from their surrounding environment. This minimizes dependency and allows services and consumers to evolve over time with minimal impact on each other. The document describes different types of coupling between service contracts and their logic, technology, implementation, functions, and consumers. It emphasizes that consumer to contract coupling is preferable as it achieves the greatest independence between services and consumers.
This document provides an overview of service-oriented architecture (SOA) fundamentals and concepts. It discusses the evolution of computing architectures from mainframes to client-server to web services. Key SOA concepts are introduced like loosely coupled services, service consumers and providers, and standards like XML, SOAP, WSDL and UDDI. The roles of the enterprise service bus, SOA registry, service broker and supervisor are described. Finally, the document presents a high-level view of how all the components work together in an SOA.
Service Oriented Architecture Design PatternShanto Rahman
The presentation covered service oriented architecture design patterns including contract centralization, contract denormalization, and the facade design pattern. It provided examples of each pattern and discussed when they should be used. It also presented a case study on redesigning an inventory management system to better utilize these patterns and abstract interactions with a legacy system.
This document discusses the service orientation principle of service autonomy. It defines service autonomy as services having control over their underlying runtime environment. There are different levels of autonomy from service contract autonomy, where services have standardized contracts, to shared autonomy, where services may share some components, to pure autonomy where services have complete isolation of components and data. Achieving higher levels of autonomy allows services more flexibility and control during both design and runtime. Other principles like loose coupling also contribute to increased autonomy.
The document discusses the key characteristics of contemporary service-oriented architecture (SOA). It describes how contemporary SOA is based on open standards, supports vendor diversity, and increases quality of service through features like security, reliability, and performance. Contemporary SOA promotes autonomy by allowing services and messages to independently control their own logic and processing.

Enterprise Application Integration TechnologiesPeter R. Egli
Overview of Enterprise Application Integration Technologies.
Enterprise Application Integration, or EAI in short, aims at integrating different applications into an IT application landscape. Traditionally, EAI was understood as using the same communication infrastructure by all applications without service-orientation in mind. This meant that the benefits of a shared infrastructure were limited while driving up costs through additional integration platforms.
Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) brought a new paradigm by decomposing applications into reusable and shareable services. Service orientation requires careful design of services. A hierarchic scheme of services may help to define a suitable service decomposition.
While SOA is technically based on big web service technologies, namely SOAP, WSDL and BPEL, WOA or Web Oriented Architecture stands for the lightweight service paradigm. WOA makes use of REST-based technologies like JSON and HTTP.
In many cases, an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is used as an infrastructure element to achieve the technical integration of the services. The ESB core functions like message routing, filtering and transformation provide the mediation services required to integrate heterogeneous application landscapes.
This document provides an overview of service-oriented architecture (SOA). It defines SOA as a design paradigm that specifies the creation of automation logic in the form of discrete, autonomous services. The key benefits of SOA include enabling flexible, federated business processes and optimization through reuse of services across organizations. The document discusses SOA concepts like loose coupling, service contracts, and different service types. It also outlines the layers of a service architecture and some core SOA principles.
- Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) has emerged as a leading paradigm for application development as it enables composite applications that can handle change in heterogeneous environments.
- Processes are the central component of SOA-based composite applications as they orchestrate services in ways that are unique to each organization. Business process management (BPM) is the central nervous system that manages these processes.
- The Ultimus BPM Suite provides full support for SOA out-of-the-box, including the ability to expose processes and invoke web services. Ultimus Adaptive Discovery further enables adaptive SOA by allowing processes to handle exceptions and changes in real-time through business rules.
The document discusses implementing a next generation ESB/SOA approach at World Vision International. It proposes using TIBCO products like BusinessWorks, Business Events, EMS, and Policy Manager to build a loosely coupled, standards-based integration architecture. The architecture would provide benefits like reduced costs, improved scalability, and enabling real-time analytics across business processes and systems. It presents guidelines and diagrams for the TIBCO SOA/ESB architecture and implementation approach.
The document discusses moving from silo-based development to a modular, open architecture based on service-oriented architecture (SOA). It notes that typical IT budgets spend 70-90% on maintenance due to rigid, monolithic applications. SOA defines services as modular, loosely coupled units that can be reused. The document recommends a phased approach to SOA implementation and provides examples of SOA adoption in Israel, highlighting challenges around monitoring, operations, and organizational issues.
The New Enterprise Alphabet - .Net, XML And XBRLJorgen Thelin
The document discusses new enterprise technologies like .NET, XML, and XBRL that are enabling greater interoperability between businesses. It covers key concepts like service-oriented architecture (SOA) and web services that allow applications from different vendors to communicate. Interoperability profiles play an important role in achieving business interoperability by defining subsets of specifications for specific domains or environments. While challenges remain, initiatives like web services specifications and Microsoft's focus on standards are helping to realize the vision of an interconnected, agile enterprise.
The document discusses key concepts in enterprise architecture including enterprise structure, value and risk, and components. It describes how enterprise architecture provides an abstract description of an organization's essential elements to maximize shareholder value over time and supports businesses in achieving strategic goals and competitive advantage. The document also summarizes enterprise integration patterns for designing scalable and maintainable integration solutions between systems.

1. The sibling rivalry between ESB and BPE
Sooner or later will most SOA adaption programs spent a lot of time and resources in having a more
or less religious discussion arguing pro’s and con’s of different SOA implementation styles utilizing an
enterprise service bus (ESB) versus a business process engine (BPE).
The ESB community will persist on their standpoint: “We don’t need a business process engine.
We’ll use ESB functionality to aggregate, compose and orchestrate services and business integration
processes.”
On the other side - the BPE supporter side - will point our: “We don’t need a en ESB. Our BPE
supports data transformations and mappings, service callouts, messaging and various endpoint
bindings.”
This sibling rivalry1 between ESB and BPE can either result in
• A deadlock, where ongoing discussions and architectural fights block any progress and
potential value generation or
• A symbiotic liaison, where the competition between ESB and BPE lead to a continuous
improved architecture blueprint that utilizes the strengths and potentials of both approaches.
1.1. greenbird | SOA usage patterns
To drive the ESB and BPE competition and discussion further on, greenbird has established a holistic
SOA architecture reference model, which proposes 3 major SOA usage patterns:
greenbird | SOA usage patterns
SOHI: service oriented human interaction
realizing multi channel human interaction
SOPI: service oriented process integration
handling business integration processes
SOSI: service oriented system integration
implementing system integration processes
The SOHI usage pattern (service oriented human interaction) is typically applied in a multi channel
scenario where various users with different roles shall be granted access to various business
processes, services or information using different devices and channel in an unique and holistic

approach. Multi channel human interaction services are responsible to handle user interaction on
different devices and channels such as web, fat / thin client UI applications, smartphones or mobile
solutions.
The SOPI usage pattern (service oriented process integration) is typically applied in scenarios where
business processes spawn across different companies, business units, different products or services in
order to realize horizontal business integration processes such as
• Sales process enforcing up- and cross selling between different product areas
• Order-to-cash process
• Customer service process across different business units or product services
• Meter-to-cash process within energy or smart metering applications
• Smart meter rollout process within energy
Horizontal business integration processes are mostly asynchronous and “long-running” and should
therefore typically be implemented on a business process engine (BPE2). Often those horizontal
business processes will require manual intervention from different users, groups or roles. Therefore
the BPE must provide capabilities for human interactions such as defined with the BPEL4People
specification.
The SOSI usage pattern (service oriented application / system integration) is typically applied for
cases where main focus is on enterprise application integration scenarios such as
• Data or message exchange between different systems
• Data or information aggregation
• Transaction handling
• (Master) data synchronization
System integration processes are mostly transactional and “short-running”. They must be able
orchestrate integration services which have to handle with various different endpoint bindings,
technologies, protocols and data models in depending on the enterprise applications and system to
integrate with.
Integration services should typically be realized on an ESB3 implementing VETRO4 functionality.
Implementation of system integration processes - which use system integration services exposed on
an ESB – could either be realized using ESB functionality (service flows, aggregations) or BPE
functionality (orchestrations). greenbird recommends a BPE- based implementation whenever system
integration processes
• Require a certain order or sequence of integration steps
• Must implement different execution paths for different situations
• Must have composite transactions for integrations not supporting 2-phase-transactions
• Consist of multiple integration step

1.2. greenbird | SOA greenprint
To describe a consistent implementation model, greenbird introduces a SOA greenprint which
defines a cooperation model between ESB and BPE based on the following terms and conditions:
1. ESB shall be utilized for
a. Service virtualization, meaning that all services shall be exposed on the ESB
b. Mediation, meaning that ESB functionality shall bed used for system integration,
endpoint binding, protocol handling, data transformation, message validations
2. BPE shall be used for
a. “Long- running” or horizontal business integration processes
b. Asynchronous business integration processes requiring human intervention
c. “Short- running” or transactional system integration processes requiring
integration sequences, different execution paths or composite transactions

In the described model, the ESB’s service virtualization functionality is used to glue together the
different layers within the SOA reference architecture. In addition to that, the ESB’s integration and
transformation capabilities are used to abstract backend integration complexity and application
specific data models.
The BPE’s orchestration functionality is used to implement integration flows and business process
flows. In addition to that BPE’s human interaction functionality is used for long- running business
integration processes which require human intervention / interaction.

1.3. Conclusion
The described architecture greenprint turns the sibling rivalry between ESB and BPE into a strong
and healthy cooperation model with clearly defined separations of concerns:
• Mediation services are responsible for abstracting backend complexity. Mediation services
are responsible for transforming application specific data models into a generic service / data
model ( semantic integration).
• Integration flows are responsible for system integration processes based on the generic
service / data model provided my mediation services.
• Business integration flows are responsible for business integration process implementations.
System integration complexity is hidden by business integration services.
• Interaction flows are responsible for human interaction and user interface application
integration.
BPE will mainly focus on business and process implementations. ESB’s focus will be to hide away any
kind of technical integration complexity.
