Business Modelling for SOA

Over the past two years, I have published a great deal about modeling for SOA in the CBDI Journal, including concepts, techniques and several industry examples.

In Part 1 (March 2005), I outline a unique methodological framework covering business modeling and system requirements.

Background
Key characteristics of SOA
Business opportunities of SOA
Requirements and Issues
Focus of Attention for SOA
Nature of SOA Judgements
Outline of our modelling approach
Tasks
Techniques
Evaluation
Criteria for any SOA modelling method
How our approach meets these criteria

In Part 2, I develop an extended worked example of SOA Pharma. This was originally intended for the April 2005 issue, but has been held over until May 2005.

Educational workshops on Business Modelling for SOA are available through the CBDI Forum.
