What is a Service-Oriented Architecture

SOA is different things to different people:

for Business Executive, Consultant:
a set of services that a business wants to expose to their customers and partners, or other portions of the organization

for Architect:
– an architectural style which requires a service provider, requestor and a service description
– a set of architectural principles, patterns and criteria which address characteristics such as modularity, encapsulation, loose coupling, separation of concerns, reuse, composability and single implementation

for Developer:
a programming model complete with standards, tools and technologies such as Web services

هلیا! برای دوست داشتن هر نفَس زندگی، دوست داشتن هر دم مرگ را بیاموز و برای ساختن هر چیز نو، خراب کردن هر چیز کهنه را و – برای عاشق عشق بودن، عاشق مرگ بودن را.
