Service Oriented Enterprises

Extending beyond the technical architecture to the very philosophy of how a business should operate, the Service Orientation approach establishes fluidity across boundaries to provide agility, transparency, and fundamental competitive advantage. Service Oriented Enterprises brings the concept of service orientation from the IT department to the boardroom, applying the precepts of service oriented technology to the underlying dynamics of how a business operates. Implementing a technological concept as a cultural paradigm, the SOE succeeds by combining the best features from virtual, extended, real-time, and resilient enterprises to serve not just its customers, but also its trading partners, shareholders and employees. Building primarily on the success of the Internet and the automation of business policies and processes, the Service Oriented Enterprise (SOE) is defined by three essential layers: the enterprise performance layer, the business process management layer, and the underlying service oriented architecture. This book focuses primarily on layers two and three and how the fundamental dynamics of a business can be altered when these concepts are applied to both architecture and culture. Beginning with an overview of the emerging SOE culture, the text contrasts the new service-oriented methodologies with traditional waterfall and iterative methodologies. Emphasizing Web Service strategies for description, discovery, and deployment techniques, the author goes deeper into service-oriented concepts describing the business process management suite as the central core of the SOE, and introducing the Enterprise Service Bus as the backbone for integration. The text describe how modeling, executing, and continuously improving the business process and business policies lends to the development of a common language between business and IT. The book concludes by expanding on these concepts and delving into the societal and behavioral aspects of the Service

Presents a model for intelligent databases based on five information technologies: databases, object-oriented programming, expert systems, hypertext, and text management. This self-contained treatment actually shows how to construct an intelligent database on a microcomputer by building a shell much like the shells used to construct expert systems. A realistic intelligent database example is throughout the book to illustrate ideas being discussed.

Object Orientation: Concepts, Languages, Databases, User Interface

Object orientation is the buzzword for the 1990s. However, this relatively young field is filled with considerable confusion and controversy as to just what it is. This book clarifies the basic concepts associated with this new discipline and provides clear and at the same time comprehensive exposure to the fundamental ideas associated with object orientation. Topics covered include abstract data typing, the concepts of inheritance and object identity, C++ and Ada--two system development languages which the authors feel will be the most popular in, and benefit most from, object orientation. Object oriented databases and the enormous impact of object orientation on the design and presentation of modern user interfaces are also covered.
