Term Paper: The Service-Oriented Architecture
Due Week 10 and worth 160 points
The Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) strategy allows
businesses and organizations to offer their products and services
to customers and trading partners using a standards-based
integration protocol. Web Services depends on SOA for
delivery. SOA uses Extensible Markup Language (XML) to
exchange data and information to its products and services
consumers. One of the SOA characteristics is that the integration
is loosely coupled, thus simplifying integration.Write an eight to
ten (8-10) page paper in which you:
Analyze five (5) ways in which SOA reduces the total cost of
ownership (TCO).
Examine five (5) ways in which using XML enables data and
information exchange between clients and servers using Web
Services in an SOA environment.
Compare and contrast the loosely coupled architecture to a
tightly coupled architecture in terms of TCO, maintenance, and
implementation issues.
Analyze three (3) advantages and three (3) disadvantages of
using a standards-based integration strategy.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note:
Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality
resources.
