CS-GY 9033 Web Services and SOA

3 Credits

The service oriented architecture (SOA) is the latest application integration paradigm in the industry, developed to address the challenges of software development which anticipates the internal friction of interacting with incompatible architectures and programming models. SOA is a model of distributed software components which encapsulates business function in a reusable, composable way. SOA components, or services, are accessible using standardized protocols and are composed (or choreographed) into new applications using standard composition languages. The term “Web services” stands for a realization of the SOA paradigm as a set of XML based standards for component communication, description and composition. Middleware is soft ware that allows different applications to interact on typically distributed computer systems.
