Publish Date: 2006-12-01
Features: Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) represents a new development direction in distributed computing and software development. This book comprehensively and systematically introduces SOC from aspects such as its development history, core concepts, fundamental principles, core technologies, Web service application programming and examples, and current research status. The book consists of 13 chapters, divided into six parts. Part 1 (Chapter 1) introduces the demand background, historical evolution, and future development direction of SOC; the second part (Chapters 2 and 3) presents the core concepts, ideas, and principles of SOC, with a focus on analyzing services, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), and Web services; the third part (Chapters 4–9) covers SOA-enabling technologies, including service communication, service description, service publishing and discovery, as well as high-level service composition and collaboration. It also includes service transactions and service security in SOA for ensuring application quality; the fourth part (Chapter 10) introduces analysis, design techniques, and methodologies related to SOC applications; the fifth part (Chapters 11 and 12) discusses advanced supporting platforms for SOA, including semantic web and service grid technologies; the sixth part (Chapter 13) presents recent research achievements in service grids and personalized end-user programming by the Joint Laboratory of Software Integration Technology, China–Germany, under the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, supported by projects such as the "Five-Year Plan" national science and technology support program, the "863 Plan," and the National Natural Science Foundation. This book is suitable for R&D personnel in computer software, university teachers and graduate students in computer-related fields.
