SOASales: A SOA System for Research Purposes

Authors

Abstract

Although Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a popular approach that is being applied in several business domains, it is still a relevant topic of research regarding the development of new solutions, techniques and methodologies to improve the effectiveness and trustworthiness of such systems. However, the lack of publicly available comprehensive SOA applications, push the researchers to validate their proposals using simplified and limited SOA environments. This paper presents SOASales, a SOA case study for research purposes, which implements an online store that allows consumers to manage accounts and search for products to purchase. This application is composed by several services, distributed through different providers and invoked by different consumers that communicate through an Enterprise Service Bus. The services are implemented using a diversity of technologies and features, following the key SOA characteristics.
