SOA and XML Modeling

This document provides an introduction to service-oriented architectures (SOA) and web services. It discusses how SOA addresses issues with integrating heterogeneous applications through standards-based web services that are discovered and invoked dynamically. Key concepts explained include service providers, requestors, and registry services that allow providers to publish service descriptions and requestors to find services. The document also outlines how model-driven development can be applied to SOA, with platform-independent models transformed to platform-specific implementations.

Motivation

Problems

 Web as platform for communication between


 applications and users
 different components of an application

 integration across heterogeneous platforms


 security, synchronization, and failure in

asynchronous distributed systems


 interoperability of applications whose

development is distributed in space, time, and


authority
 communication between business experts and
developers

 Benefits
 Simplicity: HTTP request and response
 Ubiquity: everywhere, everytime, on every device
available (at least in theory)
 Uniformity: based on standards (HTTP, HTML,
XML)
