Software services are established as a programming concept, but their impact on the overall architecture of enterprise IT and business operations is not well-understood. This has led to problems in deploying SOA, and some disillusionment. The SOA Source Book adds to this a collection of reference material for SOA. It is an invaluable resource for enterprise architects working with SOA.The SOA Source Book will help enterprise architects to use SOA effectively. It explains: What SOA is How to evaluate SOA features in business terms How to model SOA How to use The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF ) for SOA SOA governance This book explains how TOGAF can help to make an Enterprise Architecture. Enterprise Architecture is an approach that can help management to understand this growing complexity.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of workshops, held at the 33rd International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2014, in Atlanta, GA, USA in October 2014. The 24 revised full and 6 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected out of 59 submissions and are presented together with 4 demonstrations. The papers are organized in sections related to the individual workshops: the First International Workshop on Enterprise Modeling, ENMO 2014; the Second International Workshop on Modeling and Management of Big Data, MoBiD 2014; the First International Workshop on Conceptual Modeling in Requirements and Business Analysis, MReBA 2014; the First International Workshop on Quality of Models and Models of Quality, QMMQ 2014; the 8th International Workshop on Semantic and Conceptual Issues in GIS, SeCoGIS 2014; and the 11th International Workshop on Web Information Systems Modeling, WISM 2014. The contributions cover a variety of topics in conceptual modeling, including requirements and enterprise modeling, modeling of big data, spatial conceptual modeling, exploring the quality of models, and issues specific to the design of web information systems.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 2012 ICSOC Workshops consisting of 6 scientific satellite events, organized in 3 main tracks including workshop track (ASC, DISA. PAASC, SCEB, SeMaPS and WESOA 2012), PhD symposium track, demonstration track; held in conjunction with the 10th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing (ICSOC), in Shanghai, China, November 2012. The 53 revised papers presents a wide range of topics that fall into the general area of service computing such as business process management, distributed systems, computer networks, wireless and mobile computing, grid computing, networking, service science, management science, and software engineering.
Services and service oriented computing have emerged and matured over the last decade, bringing with them a number of available services that are selected by users and developers and composed into larger applications. The Handbook of Research on Non-Functional Properties for Service-Oriented Systems: Future Directions unites different approaches and methods used to describe, map, and use non-functional properties and service level agreements. This handbook, which will be useful for both industry and academia, provides an overview of existing research and also sets clear directions for future work.
New techniques and tools for database and database technologies are continuously being introduced. These technologies are the heart of many business information systems and can benefit from theories, models, and research results from other disciplines. Innovations in Database Design, Web Applications, and Information Systems Management presents ideal research in the areas of database theory, systems design, ontologies, and many more. Including examples of the convergence of ideas from various disciplines aimed at improving and developing the theory of information technology and management of information resources, this book is useful for researchers and practitioners in the IT field.
Technological advances, although beneficial and progressive, can lead to vulnerabilities in system networks and security. While researchers attempt to find solutions, negative uses of technology continue to create new security threats to users. New Threats and Countermeasures in Digital Crime and Cyber Terrorism brings together research-based chapters and case studies on security techniques and current methods being used to identify and overcome technological vulnerabilities with an emphasis on security issues in mobile computing and online activities. This book is an essential reference source for researchers, university academics, computing professionals, and upper-level students interested in the techniques, laws, and training initiatives currently being implemented and adapted for secure computing.
"In this book, Vivek Kale makes an important contribution to the theory and practice of enterprise architecture ... this book captures the breadth and depth of information that a modern enterprise architecture must address to effectively support an agile enterprise. This book should have a place in every practicing architect's library." —John D. McDowall, Author of Complex Enterprise Architecture Digital Transformation of Enterprise Architecture is the first book to propose Enterprise Architecture (EA) as the most important element (after Business Models) for digital transformation of enterprises. This book makes digital transformation more tangible by showing the rationale and typical technologies associated with it, and these technologies in turn reveal the essence of digital transformation. This book would be useful for analysts, designers and developers of future-ready agile application systems. This book proposes that it is the perennial quest for interoperability & portability, scalability, availability, etc., that has directed and driven the evolution of the IT/IS industry in the past 50 years. It is this very quest that has led to the emergence of technologies like service-oriented, cloud, and big data computing. In addition to the conventional attributes of EA like interoperability, scalability and availability, this book identifies additional attributes of mobility, ubiquity, security, analyticity, and usability. This pragmatic book: Identifies three parts effort for any digital transformation: Business Models, Enterprise Architectures and Enterprise Processes. Describes eight attributes of EA: interoperability, scalability, availability, mobility, ubiquity, security, analyticity, and usability. Explains the corresponding technologies of service-oriented, cloud, big data, context-aware, Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, soft, and interactive computing. Briefs on auxiliary technologies like integration, virtualization, replication, spatio-temporal databases, embedded systems, cryptography, data mining, and interactive interfaces that are essential for digital transformation of enterprise architecture. Introduces interactive interfaces like voice, gaze, gesture and 3D interfaces. Provides an overview of blockchain computing, soft computing, and customer interaction systems. Digital Transformation of Enterprise Architecture proposes that to withstand the disruptive digital storms of the future, enterprises must bring about digital transformation, i.e. a transformation that affects an exponential change (amplification or attenuation) in any aspect of the constituent attributes of EA. It proposes that each of these technologies (service-oriented, cloud, big data, context-aware, IoT, blockchain, soft, and interactive computing) bring about digital transformation of the corresponding EA attribute viz. interoperability, scalability, availability, mobility, ubiquity, security, analyticity, and usability.
