Designing Reusable Service Interfaces

One of the challenges of SOA is the development of services, which are reusable. Such services can participate in several different processes and orchestrations. Experienced architects are aware that designing and implementing reusable services is much harder task than implementing services for single use. In this talk recorded at Saltmarch Media\'s Business Technology Summit 2008, Matjaz B. Juric discusses best practices for designing reusable service interfaces. We will discuss the possibilities provided by WSDL. We will address the versioning issue, which becomes crucial when changing/modifying services in order to make them more reusable.

Software + Services: Fundamental Shifts in Platform Computing We are at the cusp of a big industry change. The way software is delivered and monetized is undergoing a fundamental shift. The multiple models for monetization are fundamentally shifting the software industry and business models. Traditionally software companies have made monies only in Licensing and now there are three additional models to monetize. In this talk recorded at Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit 2008, Srikanth Karnakota says software licensing is going to continue to exist and grow. Online advertising will grow. Online transactions and subscriptions will grow. But perhaps most importantly for a number of our partners, the amount of value that will be delivered by humans providing customization services, application development services, management services, hosting services, will also continue to grow, and so we see a big opportunity for our partners as we make this transformation to Windows and Windows Live and the new software plus service user interface and computing model.
