Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) provide methods for systems development and integration around business processes, packaging these as interoperable services. Process-Driven SOA: Patterns and Practices is a conceptual guide on how to effectively design and build software architectures that follow principles of business-IT alignment. Step-by-step, the authors illustrate the design process using proven patterns that address complex business/technical scenarios, where integrated concepts of SOA, BPM (Business Process Management), and EDA (Event-driven Architecture) are required. Essential for SOA solution architects, designers, developers, managers, and students learning SOA.
