Service Oriented Architectures

• Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a fairly new concept motivated by in explosive increase in services that are increasingly required to interoperate.  This course provide fundamental concepts of SOA, requirements for building services, types of services such as Web services and SOA engineering as way of building dynamic,  autonomous systems.

Aims:

• The  course aims at giving the student an understanding  of the strengths  and  weaknesses  of a service-based  architecture,  informed  by  an  ability  to implement  and  deploy  simple  web services using a suitable  development  platform.  They  will also learn  to define and  design applications  as combinations of services, and be able to discuss the emergent properties of those compositions; and to understand the research  context and potential future directions for these technologies.
