SOA in Government:
A Law Enforcement Use Case
by Girish Juneja,
Blake Dournaee,
Joe Natoli
and
Steve Birkel
IT culture within the public sector has long been known to be unique. The responsibilities of managing a wide range of often critical public services establish a distinct set of priorities that can't be compromised, especially when it comes to a reliance on technology. SOA adoption has grown substantially in government agencies in federal, state, and local sectors. There is an increasing realization that the strategic benefits of service-orientation can help overcome many of the traditional cost and efficiency-related IT problems. This article introduces the recently developed Federal Enterprise Architecture reference models and explores how they have been applied in support of a major SOA initiative within a law enforcement agency. Topics covered range from service identification, service taxonomy, security issues, and common SOA infrastructure components required for government IT enterprises, including a specific enterprise service bus configuration termed as the "Hyper-ESB". Throughout this study, the importance of standardization and canonical data standards are constantly highlighted as a key success factor...

Security in SOA - It's the Car, Not the Garage
by Gunnar Peterson
Interoperable software architecture requires interoperable security mechanisms. Security is frequently looked at as a black art, but in reality the core concepts of security - knowing your assets and designing for failure - are just good engineering practices. This article focuses on applying those practices to service-oriented solution design with an emphasis on considerations raised by authentication, authorization, auditing, and assurance. Also provided is a set of tips for overcoming some of the security-related deficiencies in current Web services frameworks...

Integration with Process-Centric
Service Composition
by Matjaz B. Juric
Integration is a concept that changes with the adoption of a service-oriented architecture. Whereas in silo-based environments, programs had to be explicitly connected using technologies and strategies to overcome incompatibilities, with SOA, connectivity is a characteristic you build into each service. This article explores how integration can be approached with the support of SOA via the use of process-centric design techniques that help separate service logic into layers that form a service stack, thereby estabalshing natural, cross-layer service composition designs...

Service-Orientation and Object-Orientation
Part I: A Comparison of Goals and Concepts
by Thomas Erl
It's no big secret that one of the primary influences of service-orientation has been the well established object-oriented design paradigm. Though there are distinct differences, there is also much common ground between these two design philosophies. In fact, if it wasn't for the innovative design principles and patterns formalized by object-orientation, the service-oriented architectural model (and the Web services framework for that matter) would not exist as they do today. This article provides a comparison of goals and concepts as a prelude to a second upcoming article that will contrast OOAD and service-orientation design principles...
