Service-oriented architectures as a vehicle for ICT in developing countries: an awareness campaign

摘要: The last decade has witnessed a significant shift from traditional software architectures to service-oriented architecture (SOA). Thanks to the Internet revolution, services developed on one site could be assembled on a different site and could be accessed on a third one. Indeed current applications of SOA type are an aggregation of several smaller applications. Such applications are synonymous with Web 2.0. Due to the tremendous progress in software development brought in by SOA, one can flexibly and transparently combine a book order and its shipment, a flight ticket to a hotel reservation and even a car reservation at the destination. The list goes on and on.
