Seminar: Service-oriented Architecture - Methods and Technologies

This seminar is offered in the context of the
"International Program of Excellence in Computer Science"
(IPEC) at the B-IT.

Preface:
One might define service oriented architecture as follows [OASIS]:
"A paradigm for organizing and utilizing distributed capabilities that may be under the control of different ownership domains. It provides a uniform means to offer, discover, interact with and use capabilities to produce desired effects consistent with measurable preconditions and expectations."

Contents:
This seminar will deal with the software engineering issues of service oriented architectures. Hence, methods and technologies complied with service oriented architectures and case studies will be of interest. The "methods" part of this seminar will cover topics like soa analysis, soa design, soa patterns of realization and web service standards. The "technologies" part will subsume topics like enterprise service bus and security and will give an overview of the state of the art frameworks. Moreover, some products will be inspected in more detail and a comparison will uncover each approaches benefits and drawbacks. Finally, a few case studies will conclude the seminar.
Altogether the seminar will cover the following topics:
Schedule:
03. December, 17:45 o'clock room 6103 at computer science building E2 in Aachen: preliminary discussion and allocation of topics. Attendance is mandatory
05. January submission of table of contents
19. January submission of draft
02. February submission of finished term paper
09. February submission of presentation slides
12. and 13. February presentations at B-IT in Bonn: "Marschallsaal" in B-IT-builing. Bus transfer from Aachen will be offered.
