A full day seminar featuring Michael Bell from Methodologies Corporation. This workshop is being coordinated by Dr. Marc Haines, Assistant Professor in the MIS area at the Lubar School of Business, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee.

Overview

This workshop is centered on three major service development lifecycle paradigms: first, establishment of organizational concepts and discovery of enterprise core entities; second, analysis of solution propositions, and foundations of service-oriented design; and last, modeling enterprise reference architecture and foundation of service-oriented integration. Consequently, this workshop offers service-oriented discovery and analysis practices, design strategies, and architecture disciplines. The chief discussion also elaborates on various service-oriented modeling techniques that are typically employed by organizations to streamline their software inventory and increase asset reusability.

Topics

TOPICS Service-Oriented Discovery - This topic elaborates on a service conceptualization model that facilitates the discovery of organizational concepts and business core entities. The discussed practices cover separation of concerns tourniquets, problem domain analysis, and relational and structural concept discovery. Service-Oriented Analysis and Design - A service-oriented analysis and design model is introduced to facilitate the establishment of organizational reusable assets. The presented methods offer analysis and design best practices such as service granularity analysis, demarcation strategies, reusability analysis, service consolidation model, and service-oriented specifications. Service Architecture - This topic elaborates on SOA interoperability challenges and introduces solutions in the space of service integration, service messaging, metadata repositories, and SOA reference architecture. In addition, advanced SOA architecture approaches are discussed. These methods cover topics such as SOA intermediaries, gateways, and agent technologies and offer methodological processes to constructing efficient service architecture.
