There is a general consensus that SOA benefits could be reached but it is unclear how to achieve this. Research shows that the problems with SOA governance in practice are among the major reasons of SOA failures. Based on a literature review, this study first proposes a list of SOA aspects to be considered when implementing SOA governance. By adopting an interpretive research methodology based ...

The paper reports secondary organic aerosol (SOA) yield, mass absorption coefficient (MAC) values, and light-absorbing compounds in SOA produced from photooxidation of indole. High SOA yield was observed and several compounds (i.e. -heterocyclics) were found to absorb visible light. Additionally, an air quality simulation was used to evaluate the contribution of indole-SOA to total atmospheric ...

Service oriented architectures (SOA) are becoming reality in a corporate environment. Rather than pure technology improvements SOA intends to increase manageability and sustainability of IT systems and to better align business requirements and technology implementations. Following these intentions current SOA research is focused on the management of SOA. In this paper we present a method to ide...

Due to their economic and technological benefits, Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) are valued more and more by companies in all industries and sizes. This paper explains SOA briefly and presents approaches for migrating to an SOA in ‘real life’. We will discuss how SOA design methods and proven software reengineering technology can be combined in order to support a company’s SOA adoption ro...

Das Thema SOA begleitet uns nun schon seit einigen Jahren und immer wieder wird uns die Frage gestellt „Können Sie als Requirements Engineer auch mit SOA umgehen?“ Interessant wird es, wenn wir diese Frage mit einer Gegenfrage beantworten „Was bedeutet denn für Sie SOA?“. Vielleicht wird es Sie als Leser nicht verwundern, dass wir bisher immer eine andere Definition von SOA erhielten. In den me...

Our current understanding of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation is limited by our knowledge of gaseous secondary organics involved in gas/particle partitioning. The objective of this study is to explore (i) the potential for products of multiple oxidation steps contributing to SOA, and (ii) the evolution of the SOA/VOC/NOx system. We developed an explicit model based on the coupling of d...

Existing empirical research on the business value of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) has only measured the extent of SOA adoption – but not maturity – to determine whether typical goals, like increased business agility or IT cost reduction, could be achieved. However, a widely implemented SOA might be less mature than an SOA adopted only in particular areas of the organization, which in tu...

Anthropogenic and biogenic gas emissions contribute to the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). When present, soot particles from fossil fuel combustion can acquire a coating of SOA. We investigate SOA-soot biogenic-anthropogenic interactions and their impact on ice nucleation in relation to the particles' organic phase state. SOA particles were generated from the OH oxidation of napht...
