What is SOA?

SOA, or Service Oriented Architecture, is a software architecture that

enables business agility through the use of loosely coupled services.
Services are reusable business functions that can be combined and
orchestrated into business processes such as order-to-cash or procure-topay.
According to Forrester Research, "SOA is a catalyst for business
transformation enabling your business to thrive on change"
According to Gartner, "By 2008, SOA will be a prevailing software
engineering practice, ending the 40-year domination of monolithic
software architecture"

Best Practice for SOA Applications

Agility

Centralization of business rules

IT and business user roles

Rules are a way to specify conditional actions

If salary is less than $30,000 then don't grant the loan

If miles flown is greater than 50,000 then grant platinum status

How are Rules Represented

Can be represented as simple if-then statements

facts

Are declarative, not procedural

Can be configured by UI application

results Engine

Rules

Application

Rules de-couple decision services from SOA applications
