Course Description

The course is designed for Engineering Master of Computer Science in TIEI. The course introduces software service concept and the two main methods of service-oriented application development, and discusses the classic web application architecture and Web service composition. Main contents include service- oriented semantics, process, agents, service quality, and service quality credibility. Students will have a preliminary and extensive understanding about Service-Oriented Computing, as well as master the latest trends of development in distributed computing and software.

Prerequisite

  • Database management system: to understand the relevant knowledge, concepts and operations

  • Electronic commerce technology: to acquire the basic knowledge and technology

Course Objectives

This course discusses basic concepts of Service-Oriented Computing to help students understand the ideas and principles. After this course, students should be able to:

  • Understand the background of service applications,

  • Fully grasp the basic standards and technologies of service-oriented computing, and to

  • Combine theory with practice and achieve certain improvement in existing services, and build better models for different services.

Course Syllabus

  • Service-Oriented Architecture: definition, function, and function module of the platform

  • Web services: concepts, technical systems, specifications and standards

  • Service communications: communications and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) of distributed system

  • Service description: models, Web Service Description Language (WSDL)

  • Service publishing and discovery: name and Directory Services Overview

  • Service composition: basic knowledge, modeling and programming

  • Service-oriented end user programming: VINCA method system overview, tool set
