“In software engineering, a service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a set of principles and methodologies for designing and developing software in the form of interoperable services. These services are well-defined business functionalities that are built as software components (discrete pieces of code and/or data structures) that can be reused for different purposes. SOA design principles are used during the phases of systems development and integration of many current software systems”. [wikipedia].
On 16.12.2012 from 11:20 till 12:50 in NBU building 2, as part of “Architecture for Software Systems” NBU course we will have a guest lecture – “SOA in Action”.
