8th international workshop on graphical documentation: SOA-based systems

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a way of designing, developing, deploying, and managing enterprise systems where business needs and technical solutions are closely aligned. SOA-based systems can be large and complex, so the role of documentation as a means of communicating information about them is very important. This workshop will explore the current state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice in documenting SOA-based systems, leveraging work such as the “Views and Beyond” approach to documenting software architecture from Carnegie Mellon University´s Software Engineering Institute.
