Description

Model Driven Service-Oriented Architecture teaches the experienced software architect how to represent the architecture and design of a software application that uses web services. Beginning with a discussion of the business benefits and technical background of service-oriented architecture (SOA), the course continues with a review of typical business modeling activities. Then the course describes several techniques for identifying candidate services including domain decomposition, business model analysis, goal-service modeling, and asset analysis. Once a candidate portfolio of services is identified, the course discusses how to partition services, capture non-functional requirements and service polices, and service repositories. Topics of message design and security policies and requirements are discussed. The course finishes with describing how to design services, specify their internal components, and service orchestration and choreography. Students use the UML Profile for Software Services to describe SOA using composite structures, collaborations, components, and interfaces.
