| Abstract: |
This article discusses a crucial architectural viewpoint—the structure of business services. While mature component-based approaches over the past ten years have developed concepts of service modularization within core business systems, it is only with the introduction of web services as a standards-based interaction technology that the demand for such thinking has become widespread. |
| Backgrounder: |
Part of this thinking is the concept of endemic services, not only facing outward from the core server-side systems, but also at other levels within the enterprise, so that services can be readily assembled at any required level. But this requires software to be structured into modules that are as autonomous as possible, so that dependencies can be minimized. Architected layering of business function encapsulated in service-oriented components is the enabler of effective service assembly and composition. It is also the basis for many of the kinds of capability described in the scenarios in Part 1 of this series—especially impact analysis. |
