In this paper we initiate how the Patterns for electronic business admiring comment the service-oriented architecture approach. We look at how service-oriented architecture approaches apply to Patterns, in particular the Self-Service and comprehensive enterprise business patterns, the application integration pattern, and the associated application patterns, runtime patterns, and Product mapping...

ion of services means that “service contracts only contain essential information and information about services is limited to what is published in service contracts”. Therefore, it is always a good practice to design services by hiding as much underlying details as possible. This assures and complements the previous loose coupling SOA principle. Therefore, the avoidance of providing any unneede...

Large enterprises need to coordinate the IT initiatives that exist in different organisational units of the enterprise. If these initiatives are not coordinated, the resulting IT system is likely to become difficult to use and expensive to develop/maintain. Enterprise architecture methods are designed for that purpose. We report on the use of a service-oriented enterprise architecture method, c...

In today’s competitive, dynamic, and changing business environment, being able to collaborate globally within and beyond the enterprise borders is critical. Inter-Organizational Collaborations (IOCs) have been proposed as a response to the characteristics of highly competitive global business environments. So far, a number of reference models, frameworks, and ad hoc architectures related to som...

Service Oriented Enterprises (SOEs) outsource their functionalities via third party web services. Therefore, there is a need for a systematic approach to manage the cooperation of the services. SOEs perform their functionalities in an extremely dynamic environment. Changes that happen to a SOE are categorized in two types: top-down changes and bottom-up changes. This paper considers top-down ch...

In this paper we propose a new approach for service-oriented enterprise application integration (EAI). Unlike current EAI solutions, which mainly focus on technological aspects, our approach allows business domain experts to get more involved in the integration process. First, we provide a technique for modeling application services at a sufficiently high level of abstraction for business exper...

Today, one of the new solutions to build organizational systems applications, service-based solution is considered. This paper will attempt to identify with the full service approach we offer Integration. In this method, a process model of organization and inventory lists organizations as inputs received during a three-step process for integrating services organizations are recognized organizat...

The flexibility offered by an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) in enabling various applications to exchange data makes it a very important middleware layer that is responsible for transporting data in a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). The popularity of the ESB has given rise to a number of commercial off the shelf (COTS) products as well as open source ESBs. In this study, we evaluated three o...

In this paper, we show that Service Oriented Architectures enable exchanges to be more flexible inside the virtual enterprise (VE), because they create an electronic market-place between the actors composing the VE. However, mechanisms have to be settled to regulate exchanges inside the VE, as well as to protect the VE from external threats and aggressions. Those mechanisms can be materialized ...
