Working with SOA and RUP
by Solmaz Boroumand
The Rational Unified Process (RUP) has been a successful methodology used to support object-oriented project delivery because it provides a series of proven disciplines and practices, several of which can still be leveraged in support of SOA, particularly in the areas of business modeling and service-oriented analysis. This article explores combining specific parts of RUP with the Mainstream SOA Methodology in support of improving the required business modeling processes that support the definition of service inventory blueprints and individual service candidates...

SOA Engineering Misconceptions
by Ted Barbusinski
Although the issue of governance is frequently addressed by various sources, the causes of bad technical implementations, and the foundations for SOA technical excellence, are often misunderstood. This is the first of a two articles that intend to offer some insights into evaluating and adjusting the technical direction of an SOA investment with an eye toward technical excellence and enduring ROI. Within this first part, we establish a basic understanding of SOA engineering goals and provide a frank overview of common misconceptions that can cause SOA technical implementations to become problematic...

Refactoring Considerations for
Service-Enabling Applications
by Dr. CP Jois
In the realm of an enterprise contemplating a services-based engineering approach to developing solutions for the business the one factor to note is that most, if not all, business software solutions are evolutionary in nature. This means that they leverage existing software investments and enhance them to deliver increased business value. It is at this point that the services approach encounters perhaps its greatest obstacles because we, as service architects, are then forced to think in terms of the trade-offs of carrying out a foreign SOA methodology. This article provides a practitioner's perspective on these issues with an emphasis on refactoring...

Service-Orientation and Object-Orientation
Part II: A Comparison of Design Principles
by Thomas Erl
There is no better way to understand what SOA is all about than to learn about service-orientation. But if you already have a background in object-oriented design, it may seem unclear as to how exactly the service-oriented approach is different. This stems primarily from the fact that service-orientation was heavily influenced by object-oriented methods, and therefore still shares some common ground. This article, the second in a two-part series, delves into the details of how service-orientation design principles compare to those established by object-oriented design, including encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, aggregation, composition, association, generalization, specialization, and abstraction...
