• SOA governance scenarios by Prabhakar Mynampati   - [Clicks: 10]
  You need an appropriate governance process model in place to effectively realize the benefits of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) development life-cycle activities. This article describes SOA governance processes based on scenarios that are adopted in a typical enterprise during the SOA development life cycle. Take a close look at important life-cycle activities, such as service identification, service creation and reuse, service testing, service versioning and change management, service-level management (quality of service), and service security. Learn about the challenges that your organization might face in a typical SOA development life cycle and how to address these challenges by implementing governance subprocesses and by delegating certain roles and responsibilities to the respective layers of a governance body for each scenario.

• Process-oriented modeling for SOA, Part 1: A technique for process decomposition by Ruud Schoonderwoerd   - [Clicks: 10]
  In this series, learn about a new decomposition technique that can help you specify business processes that are aligned with a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). This first article explores decomposing a business process into different layers of responsibility—as opposed to different levels of detail—and also looks into the role of the process controller as well as how services are identified by where they are needed.

• Best practices for SOA nonfunctional testing by Shiv Asthana   - [Clicks: 10]
  In the course of developing a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) application, your organization will most likely have nonfunctional requirements (NFRs) that need significant implementation and testing. Shiv Asthana describes the best practices you should adhere to when testing nonfunctional requirements for applications built as part of an SOA environment.

• Modeling and sharing architectural decisions, Part 1: Concepts by Olaf Zimmermann, Nelly Schuster, Peter Eeles   - [Clicks: 5]
  Architectural decisions capture precious knowledge that is worth sharing. Text templates and tools designed solely for documentation purposes fail to facilitate such knowledge exchange. In this series of articles, learn about a domain meta model specifically designed to capture and share architectural decisions, explore a reusable architectural decision model for SOA, and find out more about Architectural Decision Knowledge Wiki, a Web 2.0 collaboration platform. This first article outlines why and how architects should consciously identify, make, and enforce architectural decisions.

• Beyond SOA: A New Enterprise Architecture Framework for Dynamic Business Applications by Vasile Buciuman-Coman, Michael Chervenic   - [Clicks: 25]
  A successful outcome is never questioned when a plane with millions of interdependent parts is designed, especially when cost is not a factor. Why are the outcomes of complex software projects so unpredictable? In this two-part article, the authors analyze the causes of project failures and propose a new approach beyond SOA based on adaptive systems theory and a new information architecture.
