Introducing Service-Oriented Architecture
Jeffrey Hasan · Apress eBooks · 2004
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) represents a new and evolving model for building distributed applications. Services are distributed components, which provide well-defined interfaces that process and deliver XML messages. A service-based approach makes sense for building solutions that cross organizational, departmental, and corporate domain boundaries. A business with multiple systems and applications on different platforms can use SOA to build a loosely coupled integration solution that implements unified workflows.
