Orchestrierung datenintensiver Prozesse
Web Services stellen eine neue Technologie verteilter Anwendungen dar, die dank der zugrunde liegenden Standards Interoperabilitätsprobleme lösen sollen. Zunehmend werden sie auch für die Integration großer Datenmenge interessant, wo sie oft falsch verwendet werden und wofür sie auch unzureichend ausgelegt sind. Das Buch beginnt mit einer soliden Einführung in die Basiskonzepte von Web Services (WSDL, SOAP und UDDI). Die Konzepte der Sprache WSBPEL 2. 0 werden im Detail vorgestellt werden und an Hand illustrativer Beispiel vertieft. Der Kern des Buches beschäftigt sich mit der Übertragung großer Datenmenge auf Basis bestehender Web Service-Technologien, das an einer Anwendung aus der Genanalyse nachvollzogen wird. Vertiefende und erweiterte Themen wie Laufzeitorchestrierung, Dienstgütekriterien sowie Semantik von Webservices schließen das Buch ab. Mit Orchestrierung datenintensiver Prozesse wenden sich die Autoren sowohl an Softwarearchitekten, die sich dem Thema wissenschaftlich nähern wollen, als auch an Entwickler, die dieses Buch als Programmiereinstieg verwenden können.

Web Services Platform Architecture
"Other books claim to present the complete Web services platform architecture, but this is the first one I' ve seen that really does. The authors have been intimately involved in the creation of the architecture. Who better to write this book?--Anne Thomas Manes, Vice President and Research Director, Burton Group "This is a very important book, providing a lot of technical detail and background that very few (if any) other books will be able to provide. The list of authors includes some of the top experts in the various specifications covered, and they have done an excellent job explaining the background motivation for and pertinent details of each specification. The benefit of their perspectives and collective expertise alone make the book worth reading. "--Eric Newcomer, CTO, IONA Technologies "Most Web services books barely cover the basics, but this book informs practitioners of the "real-world" Web services aspects that they need to know to build real applications. The authors are well-known technical leaders in the Web services community and they helped write the Web services specifications covered in this book. Anyone who wants to do serious Web services development should read this book. "--Steve Vinoski, Chief Engineer, Product Innovation, IONA Technologies "There aren' t many books that are as ambitious as this one is. The most notable distinguishing factor of this book is that the authors have tried to pair down the specifications for the user and rather than focusing on competing specifications, they focus on complementary ones. Nearly every chapter provides a business justification and need for each feature discussed in the Web services stack. I wouldrecommend this book to developers, integrators, and architects. "--Daniel Edgar, Systems Architect, Portland General Electric "Rarely does a project arrive with such a list of qualified and talented authors. The subject matter is timely and significant to the industry. "--Eric Ne"
