Automated services help enterprises create new value from reuse of software and resources and achieve new levels of agility through greater flexibility and lower cost structures. As services come in many flavors and guises they have differing characteristics. In this paper we describe the most necessary aspects and features of automated services. We also focus on the interplay of SOAs and Busin...

The effect of vapor-wall deposition on secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation has gained significant attention; however, uncertainties in experimentally derived SOA mass yields due to uncertainties in particle-wall deposition remain. Different approaches have been used to correct for particle-wall deposition in SOA formation studies, each having its own set of assumptions in determining the ...

Environmental chamber (“smog chamber”) experiments were conducted to investigate secondary organic aerosol (SOA) production from dilute emissions from two medium-duty diesel vehicles (MDDVs) and three heavyduty diesel vehicles (HDDVs) under urban-like conditions. Some of the vehicles were equipped with emission control aftertreatment devices, including diesel particulate filters (DPFs), selecti...

The emergence of web services technology and SOA has introduced several issues and challenges one has to be aware of in early stages of SOA projects. This book attempts to discuss these challenges from IBM perspective thus giving the reader an important insight into IBM architectural style. The book clearly aims at business leaders and high level executives rather than developers and architects...

Service-orientierte Architektur (SOA) ist eine geschäftlich motivierte IT-Architektur, die die Integration von Geschäftsfunktionen als verbundene, wiederverwendbare Dienste (Services) unterstützt. SOA-Migration bezeichnet die Umsetzung existierender Architekturen – die sehr unterschiedlich geartet sein können – in eine SOA. Hierbei liegt der Schwerpunkt meist auf der Anwendungsarchitektur. Bei ...

This paper examines the key managerial factors affecting service-oriented architecture (SOA) implementation in organisations, and whether the implementation of SOA provides benefits to organisations. Based on a cross-sectional survey with 108 organisations, we found that top management support was a significant enabler for SOA implementation. We also found that organisations implementing SOA ga...

SOA has been widely and quickly adopted in different organizations during recent years. SOA enables to solve integration complexity problem and facilitates broadscale interoperability and unlimited collaboration across the organization. In this paper we demonstrate how Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is important in Business Organizations based on a proposed architecture diagram and also, a...

In this article, we examine how security applies to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Before we discuss security for SOA, lets take a step back and examine what SOA is. SOA is an architectural approach which involves applications being exposed as "services". Originally, services in SOA were associated with a stack of technologies which included SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI. This article addresses th...
