Abstract

Service Oriented Architecture is enabling a new approach to the design and assembly of service-based solutions and environments, which promises a more fundamental alignment of business and I/T organizations in the enterprise, greater agility of applications by the exploitation of loose coupling, and opportunities for effective reuse and governance of business and I/T activities. Current methods and tools that support SOA development activities, however, have focused primarily on supporting business process and business logic. We discuss the application of SOA principles to enable the utilization of Information as a Service (IaaS), the benefits in unifying information and process service approaches to SOA, and key research challenges in modeling and realization for IaaS in the context of SOA development.
