FIT3060 - Service oriented computing

6 points, SCA Band 2, 0.125 EFTSL

Undergraduate Faculty of Information Technology

Leader(s): Janet Fraser

Offered

Caulfield First semester 2009 (Evening)

Synopsis

This unit investigates some of the latest developments in the field of web applications. Known as Web Services, they make use of a number of standards to allow business to business(B2B) systems over the world wide web. Resoving these problems comes under the broad title of interoperability. A number of technologies and standards allow Web services to be employed. These include XML for desription of Web services, SOAP as the protocol to send messages, WSDL to describe the operations offered by a Web Service, BPEL to co-ordinate a number of Web Services in complex synchronous and/or asynchronous interactions, and UDDI as registry to allow discovery and publication of Web Services.

  1. create and validate XML documents based on XML Schema;
  2. map organisational rules into XML Schema definition;
  3. be able to retrieve XML document using XSLT.
understand the different architectures provided by different component technologies and their evolution towards service oriented computing;
  1. be able to create and deploy web services as an example of service oriented computing application.
know the technologies and standards that enable web technologies including XML, SOAP, WSDL and UDDI
understand the issues of choreographing a number of web services into a business process.

On completion of this unit, students will possess the skills necessary to:
  1. design and develop software components;
  2. design and develop programs that utilise the services and facilities offered by component architectures.
