CS 5340 - Service-Oriented Computing

Credits: 3

Service-oriented computing is the computing paradigm that utilizes services as fundamental elements for developing applications. Service providers expose capabilities through interfaces. Service-oriented architecture maps these capabilities and interfaces so they can be orchestrated into processes. Fundamental to the service model is the separation between the interface and the implementation, such that the invoker of a service need only (and should only) understand the interface; the implementation can evolve over time, without disturbing the clients of the service. Prerequisites: Senior or graduate standing. Programming experience is required.
