SOA Design Patterns
The International Community Review of
SOA Patterns and Pattern Languages
by Thomas Erl
Sixty design patterns and two pattern languages for SOA and service-orientation have been published for an industry-wide review at www.soapatterns.org, a new Web site that will remain a community resource for SOA patterns.
