Process-Driven SOA - Carsten Hentrich

. .

Résumé :

This book provides guidance on how to design and build software architectures that follow principles of business-IT alignment. The authors illustrate the design process step-by-step, using proven patterns that address complex business/technical scenarios, where integrated concepts of SOA, Business Process Management, and event-driven architectures are required. Providing a hands-on guide to process-driven SOA, the text describes how to manage the complexity of business-aligned IT architecture with examples and industry cases.
