Abstract :
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is defined as a paradigm for organizing and using distributed capabilities that might be under the control of different ownership domains. SOA is also known as a methodology for achieving application interoperability and reuse of IT assets in distributed computing environments characterized as transformable by the visibility, interaction, and effect dimensions.
