Over the past few years, we have witnessed a paradigm shift on the programming models and on architectural styles, which have been used to design and implement large-scale service-oriented systems. More specifically, the classic message-oriented and remote procedure call paradigm has gradually evolved to the resource-oriented architectural style, inspired by concepts pertinent to the World Wide...

This paper describes a service-oriented solution framework designed for Internet banking in financial services. A pragmatic approach is developed to help migrate conventional n-tier ecommerce systems to a service-oriented computing paradigm, composed of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Integration (SOI), Process (SOP), and Management (SOM). This comprehensive framework comprises Service Pat...

M.-T. Schmidt B. Hutchison P. Lambros R. Phippen The Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is the infrastructure which underpins a fully integrated and flexible end-to-end service-oriented architecture (SOA). This paper details the essential meta-data and capabilities of the ESB. It presents a summary of the key concepts of the ESB and defines the integration model for it, including key user roles. Thes...

Nowadays, a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) seems to be one of the most promising paradigms for leveraging enterprise information systems. SOA creates opportunities for enterprises to provide value added service tailored for on demand enterprise collaboration. With the emergence and rapid development of Web services technologies, SOA is being paid increasing attention and has become widespr...

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been widely recognized as an approach for flexible integration of enterprise applications across organisational boundaries based on service abstractions and Internet standards. Enterprise collaboration and application integration is driven by business requirements, which in turn are translated to business models and expressed as business processes. For ex...

This paper is a comprehensive introduction to the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), which is a new type of integration infrastructure. Therefore it gives a detailed introduction into the background of Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and explains Message-Oriented Middleware (MOM) and ServiceOriented Architecture (SOA) which are the technologies the Enterprise Service Bus evolved out of. Aft...

1Abstract Software components are deployed in tightly coupled environments within the context of a component model. Techniques such as PredictionEnabled Component Technology (PECT) [4] combine component technologies with analysis models to address the issue of consumer trust in the quality of assemblies. Service-oriented thinking and challenges surrounding distributed environments are not new, ...

Enterprise systems are being transferred into a service-oriented architecture. In this article we present a procedure for the integration of enterprise systems. The procedure model starts with decomposition into Web services. This is followed by mapping redundant functions and assigning of the original source code to the Web services, which are orchestrated in the final step. Finally an example...

This paper explains how we have designed a service-oriented architecture by combining and extending several open source environments. We show how the IT architecture of the National Family Benefits Fund in Luxembourg got systematically modernized by solving issues related to Enterprise Application Integration, before introducing concepts like Enterprise Service Bus which was extended to offer s...
