RAM Laboratories Team to Present SOA Paper at the DOD Architecture Framework Modeling (DODAF'08) Forum
San Diego, CA - April 7th, 2008 - As part of the 2008 Spring Simulation Multiconference in Ottawa Canada (SpringSim'08), RAM Laboratories, in conjunction with the Auburn Information Assurance Center (IAC), have been invited to present the paper “Supporting A Service-Oriented Architecture.”
Service-oriented Architectures (SOA) have become increasingly popular as a way to support the business processes of an organization. A SOA to system design is one where application design and development are done with the goal of producing usable services. This approach allows for the integration of applications as reusable system services. The services must have platform independent specifications that abstract the underlying complexity of the service, are loosely coupled, and, perhaps most importantly, are reusable. This paper gives an in depth overview of SOA concepts, and will briefly introduce current Enterprise Architectures, such as the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), Ministry of Defense Architecture Framework (MoDAF), and The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF), and discusses what is being done to address the current need for SOA.
