Title	Details	Publication
Service-Orientated Architecture - Considerations for Agile Systems Lawrence Wilkes & Richard Veryard	Web service hype often starts with dramatic claims about the business need for adaptability. But the hype typically dives into technical solutions, presented with no further reference to this business need. Our article outlines some design principles and best practices for achieving real and relevant adaptability.	Microsoft Architects Journal Issue 2, April 2004

SOA Case Example - BT and GB Group	Brief analysis of a web collaboration between BT and GB Group, illustrating some of the modelling and process issues.	July 2003
Web Services for Business Intelligence	The Business Intelligence space is being radically challenged by new forms of computing, including web services. Some of the BI vendors are now offering web service solutions that allow BI content to be integrated with other information, or fed into other applications. This creates exciting opportunities for building BI into the service-oriented architecture, and conversely for using the service-oriented architecture to short-circuit the labor of traditional BI solutions such as data warehousing. > more	June 2003
Modelling for SOA The IBM Story	With the recent acquisitions of Holosofx and Rational, IBM is now able to present a broad set of modeling tools for SOA. In this review, we explore IBM’s coverage in detail. > more on IBM	May 2003
Data Quality for SOA	With collaborative real-time processing, we have new challenges in ensuring data integrity. We look at a general framework, and also explore the Metagenix toolset.	May 2003
Modelling for SOA Worked Example	In this article, we explore some aspects of a simple but potentially collaborative business process, with a worked example of the possible business and management opportunities opened up by proper service modelling.	April 2003
Modelling for SOA Best Practice Report	What modelling approach is required to implement a Service Oriented Architecture? We consider how the modelling process needs to change to reflect quite different concerns, and discuss techniques and standards.	Feb 2003
Autonomic Computing	Discusses various approaches to the management of complexity in Service Oriented Architectures - including HP's OpenView product, IBM's autonomic computing, and Sun's virtualization approach. > more	Jan 2003
Services on Demand	During 2002, there were several attempts by the major vendors to mark out their position on what happens next. Popular themes have included Services On-Demand, Trustworthy Computing, Utility Computing, Pervasive Computing, Grid Computing, Autonomic Computing. But while there may be some tension between the marketing messages associated with different vendors, we can detect an underlying unity in vision and direction. > more	Dec 2002
From Web Service to Web Collaborations	> more	Nov 2002
Differentiated Service Update	An update on Differentiated Service, with discussion of some similar notions – from the "Smart Services" briefly promoted by Sun Microsystems, to the more academically-driven notion of context-based behaviour modification. > more	June 2002
Service Identification	This article looks at techniques for the identification of web services. We suggest that service identification is not a linear progression of conventional analysis techniques, and that services require consideration of a number of additional perspectives. One of the important perspectives discussed in this article is the pricing of web servives, and the various pricing schemes available. Design of web services may be influenced by the need to maximize service revenue.	Feb 2002
Information Services	There are many ways of classifying web services. In this article, we focus on information services – web services whose primary purpose is to provide information. There are two motivations for this focus. Firstly, there are some things to say about information services in particular. Secondly, we want to draw attention to the separation and decoupling of information services from operational services – which may turn out to be a useful architectural pattern in itself.	March 2001
Differentiated Service	One of the risks of component-based development is that it merely shifts the complexity from the component itself to the wiring between components. One way to avoid this danger is to control the proliferation of different interfaces. If there are significantly fewer interfaces than components, this simplifies the wiring – leading to greater adaptability for the component-based system, and greater reuse opportunities for individual components. > more	Dec 2000
Are you being served?	Who will be the leading players in the service-based economy?	July/ Aug 2000
