Course Description

The reality is that Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is currently the best option available for systems integration and the leveraging of legacy systems. According to a 2007 Gartner Group report, 50% of new mission-critical operational applications and business processes were designed in 2007 around SOA, and that number will be more than 80% by 2010. While the technologies to implement SOA will most probably change over time, one concept will remain: SOA promises a way to design systems that enables cost-efficiency, agility, adaptability, and the leveraging of legacy investments.

However, before starting an SOA development effort, an organization needs to gain a realistic understanding of the potentials and pitfalls of SOA adoption. The Migrating Legacy Systems to SOA Environments course outlines the basic concepts of SOA, illustrates common misconceptions about SOA adoption, and introduces fundamentals for successfully implementing service-oriented systems. This course addresses service-oriented systems development and its challenges from the perspectives of the service developer, the application developer, and the infrastructure developer. The course also addresses potential issues in leveraging legacy systems in SOA Environments. It outlines a method - the Service Migration and Reuse Technique (SMART) - that helps organizations to develop a realistic strategy for the migration of legacy systems to a specific SOA target environment.

Exercises are used throughout the course to provide a concrete context for the issues.
