 Distributed Object Systems / Protocols

•The distributed object paradigm has been

widely adopted in distributed applications, for
which a large number of mechanisms based on
the paradigm are available. Among the most
well known of such mechanisms are:
~ Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI),
~ the Common Object Request Broker Architecture
(CORBA) systems,
~ the Distributed Component Object
Model (DCOM),
~ mechanisms that support the Simple
Object Access Protocol (SOAP).

SOA Defined
SOA is a software architecture model
in which business functionality are logically grouped
and encapsulated into self contained,distinct and
reusable units called services that
represent a high level business concept
can be distributed over a network
can be reused to create new business applications
contain contract with specification of the purpose,
functionality, interfaces (coarse grained), constraints,
usage

 Heterogeneous cross-platform
 Reusability at the macro (service) level rather
than micro(object) level
 Interconnection to - and usage of - existing IT
(legacy) assets
 Granularity, modularity, composability,
componentization
 Compliance with industry standards

 Features of SOA

 Self- describing Interface (WSDL)

 Message communication via formally defined

XML
 Services are maintained in a registry

 Each service has a Quality Of Service

 Applications adapt to changing technologies

 Easy integration of applications with other

 Service Architecture Composition

 Service architectures are composed of

➢Services
• Units of processing logic
• Example: Credit card Service
➢Messages
• Units of communications between services
• Needed for services to do their job

➢Operations
• Units of Work
• Example: Determine Cost of Attendance
➢Processes
• Composed / orchestrated groups of services
• Example: Financial Aid Disbursement
 SOA principles

 Service Encapsulation

 Service Loose coupling

 Service Contract

 Service abstraction

 Service Documentation

 Service reusability

 Service composability
Encapsulation
Loose Coupling

“Service contracts impose low consumer coupling

requirements and are themselves decoupled from their
surrounding environment."

Create specific types of relationships within and outside

of service boundaries with a constant emphasis on
reducing (“loosening”) dependencies

between
 Service contract

 Service implementation
Source: Thomas Erl
 Service consumers
Standardized Service Contracts

 “Services within the same service inventory are in

compliance with the same contract design standards."

 Services use service contract to

 Express their purpose

 Express their capabilities

 Use formal, standardized service contracts

 Data
 Focus on the areas of
Source: Thomas Erl

representation
Abstraction

 “Service contracts only contain essential

information and information about services is
limited to what is published in service contracts”

 Avoid the proliferation of unnecessary service

information, meta-data.

 Hide as much of the underlying details of a

service as possible.
 Enables and preserves the loosely
coupled
design ofrelationships
service compositions Source: Thomas Erl
Documentation
Reusability

 “Services contain and express agnostic logic and

can be positioned as reusable enterprise
resources."

 Reusable services have the

following characteristics:
 Defined by an agnostic
functional contextand extensible
 Has a generic Source: Thomas Erl

 contract
Composability

 "Services are effective

composition
participants,
regardless of the size
and complexity of the
composition."

 Ensures services are

able to participate in
multiple compositions
Source: Thomas Erl
to solve multiple larger
problems
Autonomy

 "Services exercise a high level of control over

their underlying runtime execution environment."

 Represents the ability of a service to carry out its

logic independently of outside influences

 To achieve this, services must be more isolated

 Primary benefits

 Increased reliability
Source: Thomas Erl
 Discoverability

 "Services are with

communicative can
supplemented meta data
discovered and interpreted." be effectively
by whichthey
 Service contracts contain appropriate meta data for
discovery which also communicates purpose and
capabilities to humans

 Store meta data in a

service registry or profile
documents
Source: Thomas Erl
Statelessness

 "Services minimize resource consumption by

deferring the management of state information
when necessary."
 Incorporate state management deferral
extensions within a service design

 Goals

 Increase service scalability

 Support design of agnostic

Applying SOA - Governance
▪ Governance is a program that makes sure
people do what is ‘right’
▪ In conjunction with software, governance controls
the development and operation of software

Goal: Establish SOA organization governance (SOA

Board) that governs SOA efforts and breaks down
capabilities into non-overlapping services
Applying SOA - Governance

 Policies
 Codification of laws, regulations,
corporate guidelines and best practices
 Must address all stages of the service
lifecycle (technology selection, design,
development practices, configuration
management, release management, runtime
management, etc.)
Applying SOA - Governance

 Processes
 Enforce policies
 System-driven processes (code check-in,
code builds, unit tests)
 Human-driven process (requests, design
reviews, code reviews, threat assessment, test
case review, release engineering, service
registration, etc.)
Applying SOA - Governance

 Metrics
 Measurements of service reuse,
compliancy with policy, etc.
 Organization

 Governance program should be run by

SOA Board, which should have cross-
functional representatives
Applying SOA –
Governance
Applying SOA - Challenges
Business functionality has to be made available as services.

 Service Orientation Service contracts must be fixed

Implemented services must be designed with reuse in mind.

This creates some overhead.
 Reuse
 Sharing of Responsibilities
Potential service users must be involved in the
design process and will have influence on the
 Increased complexity! service design

 Goal of SOA

 Loosely coupled

 The goal for a SOA is a world wide mesh of

collaborating services, which are
published and available for invocation on
the Service Bus.
 SOA is not just an architecture of services
seen from a technology perspective, but the
policies, practices, and frameworks by which
we ensure the right services are provided and
Major service types

Basic Services:
 Data-centric and logic-centric services

 Encapsulate data behavior and data model

and ensures data consistency (only on one
backend).
 Basic services are stateless services with
high degree of reusability.
 Represent fundamental SOA maturity level
and usually are build on top existing legacy
 Major service types

Composed Services :
expose harmonized access to inconsistent basic
services technology (gateways, adapters, façades,
and functionality-adding services).
Encapsulate business specific workflows or
orchestrated services.
Service Types
 SOA Benefits Summary

 Allow us to execute complex business

processes by composing systems from small,
less complex building blocks
 Fosters collaborative business and technical
environment through sharing and coordination
of services
 Create outward facing self-service applications
not constrained by organizational boundaries
 Enables creating adaptive, agile systems that
are resilient to changes in the business
 Conclusions

 SOA represents a fundamental change to the

way information systems will designed in the
future
 Long term impact on IT portfolio management
is dramatic
 Adds a significant dimension to system
evaluation process
 Undertaking SOA requires commitment from
all levels of the organization and significant
investments (people, process, and tools)
