SOA stands for Service-Oriented Architecture. It is the fundamental architectural model that supports the overall paradigm of Services Computing from architecture perspective. As proved by the history of software and system development in the last fifty years, software architecture plays an essential role in software systems, by providing plausible insights, triggering the right questions, and offering general tools for thoughts. An architectural model is a representation of blueprint that contains certain building blocks common to all similar applications, along with certain variable aspects unique to each specific application. Building “conceptual constructs” is critical not only for a single software design but also for all large-scale applications and systems.
