SOA Modeling Patterns for Service–Oriented Discovery and Analysis

The answers and tools you need for a sound service–oriented architecture in your organization
"There is so much hype and distortion in the technology community regarding SOA, what it is and how it will revolutionize technology in organizations. As a business leader, I prefer to understand exactly what the value proposition of a given technology is and how it can be used to benefit my customers. This book gives the reader practical examples on how to leverage SOA and is particularly powerful and insightful since it is written by someone who actually performs what he writes about."
—Lisa N. Wolford, President & CEO, CSSS.NET
"Michael Bell is well qualified to offer the first practical guide to achieve the organizational benefits of SOA. He provides the missing link between architecture and results that has eluded many in the industry for years. By understanding the business motivations within an organization first and applying a transparent process of service discovery and analysis, the real benefits of service–orientation can be realized."
—Eric Pulier, founder & Chairman, SOA Software, Inc., founder & CEO, ServiceMesh, Inc.
"Michael Bell′s new book, SOA Modeling Patterns for Service–Oriented Discovery and Analysis, continues to advance the nascent discipline of SOA modeling that was established in his groundbreaking first book, Service–Oriented Modeling. SOA Modeling Patterns builds on his previous work by adding contextual and structural modeling concepts, and extending the modeling framework from services modeling to enterprise SOA solution modeling. This is a must–read for all SOA practitioners!"
—Eric A. Marks, President & CEO, AgilePath Corporation
"SOA Modeling Patterns for Service–Oriented Discovery and Analysis is a profound and professional guide for ascertaining and inspecting services for a project or cross organizational initiative. This book is a fundament al milestone in the era of modern software modeling for SOA, virtual landscapes, and cloud computing, because it provides an insightful ′how to′ methodology to promote software reuse, consolidation, loose coupling, and nimbleness."
—Max Yankelevich, Chief Architect, Freedom OSS—Practical Cloud and Open Source Solutions for the Enterprise
"This book is a must–read for business and technical SOA practitioners. It is well crafted, easy to understand, and most important, underscores the necessity to employ an SOA modeling language when pursuing the service–oriented discovery and analysis discipline. By leveraging these offered SOA best practices, SOA professionals would be able to shorten the time–to–market, and introduce effective and durable services for the organization."
—Dr. Bob Chen, Chief Architect, Bunge Global Agribusiness
"SOA Modeling Patterns provides a holistic pattern framework that can be applied incrementally and iteratively. It introduces the concept of virtual modeling of services which is timely given the rapid spread of virtualization and with cloud computing on the horizon. I strongly recommend SOA Modeling Patterns for Service–Oriented Discovery and Analysis to anyone looking for a practical way to introduce SOA to their organization."
—Donald Mahaya, Enterprise Architect, Donald Mahaya, Inc.
"Mr. Bell has written a clear, articulate guide to service–oriented discovery and analysis. He provides a road map of discovery and analysis patterns, and then uses them to expertly guide the reader through discovery, categorization, contextual analysis, and structural analysis. This book belongs in every IT professional′s library."
