SOA Governance Policies

This presentation discusses service oriented architecture (SOA) governance using policies – what are policies? policy layers, domains, lifecycle, standards and more…

SOA and Interoperability

This presentation describes the process used to create interoperability policies and standards through service oriented architecture (SOA). EU interoperability framework was extended – "service design principles were used to generate a set of policies, while the design patterns yielded the specifications for the standards, thus creating a SOA-based set of recommendations, allowing interoperability to become a strategic benefit of applying service-orientation."

Effective SOA Governance

This presentation defines service oriented architecture (SOA) governance and discusses its value proposition.

Governing Service Oriented Architecture

A Perspective on SOA Governance

This paper attempts to look at well – established concepts of governance in public and corporate life that can be applied for SOA governance. The authors also propose the use of Montesquieu’s power sharing formula that can help constitute the SOA governing bodies along the lines of Legislative, Executive and Judiciary branches in a government.
