Reference Artifacts (Guidance)

["Jeffrey A Estefan" <Jeffrey.A.Estefan@jpl.nasa.gov>]

Colleagues,

 

Because we're in the throws of mapping out the development of the SOA-RA, I've uploaded some reference material to our SOA-RA SC document repository.  These are some artifacts that I've found useful in the past with respect to reference architectures and architecting SOA in general.  The WS references are included because they cover additional relevant concepts independent of WS technologies.

 

The following artifacts were uploaded to our Kavi site in the "Documents" space.

 

Under the "Standards" collection:

 

1. ANSI/IEEE 1471-2000 Std.

 

2. W3C WSA

 

Under the "Presentations and general information" collection:

 

1. White paper on architecting Web services by Mike Rosen and John Parodi of IONA Technologies (lots of good guidance on SOA in general that is not specific to Web services)

 

2. IBM Slide on relationship of Reference Architectures to architecture patterns and design patterns

 

3. IBM Rational white paper on using SOA and CBD (Component Based Development)

 

4. IONA white paper on Web services and Model-Driven Architecture (MDA)

 

5. Rational Edge white paper on the service-oriented architect

 

6. Reference Model - Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP) summary

 

7. RM-ODP Introduction

 

8. CCSDS RA for Space Data Systems (RASDS)

 

9. Security Model for SOA Presentation - M. Pajevski, JPL
