Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) have become one of the most talked about aspects of modern software architecture design. This book argues that SOAs are not as innovative as often touted, but instead draw from a considerable number of predecessor architectural styles. Additionally, SOAs lack sound means of automating service discovery, composition, and orchestration. Using readily available semantic technologies, thus transforming SOAs to Semantic SOAs (SSOAs), is one way of addressing this deficit. After covering basic foundations of SOAs and surveying knowledge based technologies in the context of web services, the book describes a reference process for the design and implementation of a SSOA. Special attention is paid to possibilities created by introducing knowledge based technologies into the initial step of requirements engineering before using these elicited requirements to construct and describe a generic SSOA in a number of appropriate views and perspectives. Security considerations in the SSOA are also dealt with accordingly. Especially to answer the question of current feasibility of SSOAs, requirements, architecture, and implementation considerations of real-world research projects centered around SSOAs are described in all their detail. A comparative evaluation of these research projects with a hypothetical client/server system with the same functionality reveals the value already added by currently implementable semantic additions.

Store Description

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
