Business Innovation and Service Oriented Architecture

Recent research suggests that a strong link exists between business innovation and service oriented IT architectures: modern IT architecture enables business to quickly create new services. However, the relationship between IT capabilities and business performance is not always straightforward. How does SOA support fast innovation in practice, and under which conditions is it effective? In this paper, the authors investigate these issues and ask: How can a SOA architecture like the Enterprise Service Bus support business innovation? This paper investigates this question through a case study at an airline company. Analyzing the relationship between innovation and IT architecture in the company over time, the authors offer the following conclusion: ESB gives strong support to business innovation, under two conditions. First, the implementation of ESB has to be comprehensive, that is, it should include the core processes of the business. Second, the top management (and partners) need to understand the principles of ESB.

SOA-based precision irrigation decision support system

At present, irrigation decision-making systems applied to the field of agriculture were mostly aimed at a given area and specific crops. It was difficult to be applied in different areas and different crops. In this paper, a precision irrigation decision-making system has done something to solve this problem. The paper, on the one hand, has synthesized multi-areas and multi-crops in one decision; on the other hand, the key was that it used an advanced design idea, which quickly builds a system by using SOA architecture and fully meets different needs of users based on the maximum reuse of services. The paper arranges services in BPM. First of all, user programmed areas, crop types and the water supply. Secondly, the system selects optimum services from the BPM based on different inputs, and then quickly builds a suitable model. Moreover, it gave precise guidance for crop irrigation processes. The precision irrigation decision support system provides an on-demand decision-making model for agricultural production. Applied results show that, through the test on Xiao Tangshan winter wheat, Da Xing vegetables and rice in central China, the system can quickly build a decision-making model to meet the needs of irrigation for different users. In addition, it shows a good reflection and wide use.

Global SOA Architectural Style – SOA for End Users

Interoperability, reusability and platform independence is the current need of the era. SOA was introduced with this in mind but it is mainly used only within the preconfigured and static environment of enterprise. SOA cannot satisfy the needs to dynamically discover the service and securely communicate with it over the internet. This concern entails a rethink of the SOA architecture. Our major focus is to make SOA truly global for use over internet for almost all the applications worldwide. Global SOA is a revolutionary idea of assigning every surfer an identity through agent Web Service to which it can delegate the work. We propose that the agent Web Service to be made so intelligent and dynamic that it will dynamically discover Web Services over the internet, communicate with it, dynamically configure the SOAP packets as per the security algorithm required by remote service and make decisions on users behalf.

Research on Case-Base in Semantic SOA Integrated System

Experience accumulation and reuse are very important for manufacturing of complex product. However, there is no mechanism to support such function in the integrated manufacturing system based on semantic SOA which is generally accepted as an effective approach to raise productivity. Specific to this problem, we propose a solution by building a case-base in semantic SOA to improve the traditional framework, in which case-base can accumulates the experiences by case study and reuse them by case retrieve. In this paper, the new architecture and workflow of the semantic SOA with build-in case-base is designed, merging and maximizing the advantages of both case-base and SOA to make up the lack of experience accumulation and reuse mechanism. Then, combined with field characteristics of complex products’ manufacturing process, construction and implementation concerning key technologies and methods of case-base are comprehensively elaborated.

A SOA Architecture to Improve the Tailorability and Extensibility of e-Learning Systems

In this paper we describe a new architecture of the so-called Learning Management Systems based on the integration of third-party tolos accesible as Web Services. This idea has already been considered as a promising way to build up and extend e-learning systems. Nonetheless, existing proposals lead to a very soft: integration of LMSs and third-party tools, which is not suitable for learning contexts. Basically, LMSs can include third-party tools but they have no control over them. Therefore, LMSs cannot alter the behavior of these tools not supervise what users (e.g. students) do with them. To overcome this limitation we have proposed a new architecture for LMSs that allow a hard integration of third-party tools, allowing the LMS to have tighter control over the tool and manage different issues of it (e.g. events, permissions, sessions).

2.1.3 Managing Systems of Systems Interoperability ‐ Federated SOA and Reference Architectures

AbstractNew and emerging threats, technology advancements and the advent of the Knowledge Age are driving change in Armed Forces around the world. The Singapore Armed Forces is in the midst of transformation into the 3rd Generation SAF to meet these challenges. As military systems morph into increasing networked and interdependent system of systems, the Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) has also adopted strategies and put in systems engineering efforts to manage the interoperability requirements and complexities of this system of systems. In 2006 DSTA adopted Enterprise Architecture (EA) to facilitate businessInformation Technology (IT) alignment and subsequently established a Reference Architecture Framework to ensure interoperability across systems. In this article, we describe the Reference Architecture Framework, the linkage between EA and the Framework, and how the framework will guide the development of the solution blueprint to enable 3rd Generation SAF transformations.

Towards a grid enabled symbolic computation architecture

Modern technologies may prove their ability to support symbolic computing if Computer Algebra Systems are enabled for Service Oriented Architecture, SOA and Grid architectures. This paper introduces a system that allows Computer Algebra Systems to act as clients for Web/Grid services by calling or by combining their functionality, or to expose symbolic computing engines as support for such services. To compose functionality, static workflows with dynamic bindings and potentially, dynamic workflows can be used.

Research and implement of SOA-oriented enterprise services bus

For the quickly growing requirements of information sharing and business integration in enterprise,it tends to use SOA architecture to integrate enterprise applications because enterprise service bus can shield the heterogeneous enterprise applications.Current products of SOA-oriented Enterprise Service Bus(s-ESB)can mainly offer Web services container but unified adapter mechanism to integrate some kinds of enterprise applications.It restricts the availability and scalability of s-ESB.In this paper,it firstly brought forward a new SOA-based enterprise application integration environment which clarified the status and function of s-ESB in constructing Web services-based application supporting platform.Then,it presented an architecture for s-ESB,and then analyzed some key technologies including protocols adaptation,service adaptation and common services etc.At last,s-ESB is proved to be feasible and effective by prototype system.

A business model for deploying Web services:A data-centric approach based on factual dependencies

The standards XML, SOAP, WSDL and UDDI allow (i) services to be accessed and executed via the Web; and (ii) a loose coupling of these services. Thanks to these standards, Web services technology is becoming not only a de facto integration standard, but also a de facto Internet standard instance of the SOA architecture. However, the deployment of such a technology is still hindered by some technical as well as methodological issues. This paper proposes a business model with multiple interfaced abstraction levels as a framework to methodologically deploy Web services technology with respect to SOA architecture. The attributes describing the business objects and coordination artifacts as described in the highest abstraction level of the business model, i.e. the universe of discourse, are aggregated according to a time/space constraint called factual dependency. Each aggregation of factually dependent attributes is validated with regard to an actual business event. The aggregation is then interfaced to lead to a well-specified Web service. The resulting comprehensive set of consistent Web services are then registered in a public or a private UDDI to be discovered and invoked by any business process. The proposed Web services generation process aims at unlocking and turning informational assets into actions. It differs from the current IT perspective approaches that generate Web services directly from redundant and inconsistent elements in the enterprise information systems.
