Die „Komponente“ Mensch stellt einen wesentlichen und erfolgskritischen Faktor bei der Realisierung von Service-orientierten Architekturen (SOA) dar. SOA erfordert neue Rollen und bringt neue Aufgaben mit sich. Auf operativer Ebene agiert das Skills-Management, welches durch geeignete Methoden sicherstellt, dass Personal korrekt ausgewählt bzw. passend weitergebildet wird. Skills-Management ist...

This research provides a theoretical conceptualization of SOA governance aspects that can be used to assess SOA governance practices and provide guidance to improve them. The review of IT and SOA governance shows that there are conflicting claims and inconsistency in the literature concerning the role of SOA governance. Moreover, there is no empirical evidence on the implications of the governa...

in this paper the design and implementation of fault tolerable architecture for scientific workflow engines is presented. the engines are assumed to be implemented as composite web services. current architectures for workflow engines do not make any considerations for substituting faulty web services with correct ones at run time. the difficulty is to rollback the execution state of the workflo...

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is emerging to be the predominant architectural style of choice for many organizations due to the promised agility, flexibility and resilience benefits. However, there are currently few SOA metrics designed to evaluate complexity, effort estimates and health status of SOA solutions. This paper therefore proposes a SOA metrics framework which includes both ser...

Despite the wide range of advantages which many authors associate with the introduction of a service-oriented architecture (SOA), comprehensive SOA implementations continue to be scarce in practice. Consequently, questions arise as to how the concept is adapted in practice. This paper compares the scientific view of SOA concepts with initial practical experience from first SOA implementations. ...

The concept of Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) is becoming increasingly important not only in research, but also in practice. SOA has emerged as a major topic, especially in regards to the banking industry as it is one of the cutting-edge industries concerning service-orientation. SOA implementation in the German banking industry varies, with some still in the adoption phase and others alre...

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is not just another product or technology to be added to the IT environment. Rather, SOA requires significant and often fairly far-reaching changes to truly reap all the benefits of adopting SOA. To successfully adopt SOA, a company must create a plan that addresses the full extent of the changes required for SOA. For the past five years Oracle has been worki...

In mice, behavioral acceptance of the bitter compound sucrose octaacetate (SOA) depends on allelic variation of a single gene, Soa. The SW.B6-Soa(b)congenic mouse strain has the genetic background of an "SOA taster" SWR/J strain and an Soa-containing donor chromosome fragment from an "SOA nontaster" C57BL/6J strain. Using microsatellite markers polymorphic between the two parental strains, we d...

BACKGROUND Risk factors for shoulder osteoarthritis (SOA) have been poorly studied. SOA has two anatomical subtypes: primary centred SOA (centred SOA) and rotator cuff-related OA (non-centred SOA). We examined whether cardiometabolic risk factors are preferentially associated with centred than mechanical-induced non-centred SOA. METHODS This 2004-2012 retrospective multicentric study included...
