Klappentext Praise for Service-Oriented Architecture"This book provides a superb overview of the SOA topic. Marks and Bell provide practical guidance across the entire SOA life cycle--from business imperatives and motivations to the post-deployment business and technical metrics to consider. With this book, Marks and Bell demonstrate a unique ability to take the complex dynamics of SOA, and through an eloquent set of metaphors, models, and principles, provide an understandable and insightful how-to manual for both technical and business executives. This will become a required handbook for any organization implementing SOA."--Dan Bertrand, Enterprise Technology Officer & EDS Fellow, EDS Corporation"A fundamental breakthrough in the business and technology perspectives of SOA--this book belongs in every software developer, architect, and IT executive library. Marks and Bell demonstrate a creative and practical approach to building complex, service-oriented systems. I especially liked the hands-on perspective brought to multiple aspects of SOA.
