Service-Oriented Software System Engineering

Zoran Stojanovic is a researcher at the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management, at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. He received his Graduate Engineering degree and Master of Philosophy degree in Computer Science and GIS from the Faculty of Electronic Engineering, University of Nis (Yugoslavia), in 1993 and 1998 respectively. He has been working since 1993 as a researcher and teacher in the fields of Computer Science, Software and System Engineering, first with the University of Nis (Yugoslavia) and after February 2000 with the Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands). Ajantha Dahanayake is an Associate Professor in the Department of Information and Communication Technology at the faculty of Technology, Policy and Management, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. She previously served as an Associate Professor in the Department of Information Systems and Algorithms at the Faculty of Information Technology and Systems. She received her B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Leiden and Ph.D. in Information Systems from Delft University of Technology.

Current IT developments like competent-based development and Web services have emerged as new effective ways of building complex enterprise systems and providing enterprise allocation integration. To aid this process, platforms like.Net and Websphere have become standards in web-based systems development. However, there is still much that needs to be researched before service-oriented software engineering (SOSE) becomes a prominent source for enterprise system development. Service-Oriented Software System Engineering: Challenges and Practices provides a comprehensive view of SOSE through a number of different perspectives. Some of those perspectives include; service concepts, modeling and documentation, service discovery and composition, model-driven development of service-oriented applications, and service-orientation in mobile settings. This book provides readers with an in-depth knowledge of the main challenges and practices in the exciting, new world of service-oriented software engineering. book offers a balance, making it valuable to a variety of readers including: software developers, managers, and analysts.
