| Abstract: |
One of the key ideas of SOA is that of assembling services into solutions. In this article, we shall lay out some of the key concepts and patterns of service composition, and provide some strategies for managing service design that enables reuse and assembly. We shall also look at some example technologies that enable composition and assembly |
| Backgrounder: |
In previous articles (April 2006, November 2007), I’ve talked about some aspects of the emergence of lightweight solutions, based on simple service composition. Dion Hinchcliffe calls this the “DIY Phenomenon”, and has published a taxonomy of DIY approaches.
Meanwhile, there is some effort among SOA platform vendors to produce tools and platforms to support service composition. There is wide divergence between the various tools and platforms on offer, some of them adhering to a range of different standards (including BPEL and SCA), while others appear to be entirely proprietary.
