vice chair of the program comm

Re: Re: The Economics of Reuse: DDD vs SOA

Michael Poulin — 2012-05-20T22:47:50

Two or three perspectives make sense to discuss _only_ if we agree on an ontology and semantic of what we are talking about. OASIS SOA demonstrates complete scheme of ontology and semantic thought through and validated by many people from many organisations. I do not insist that everything should come from OASIS, but I would expect the ontology and semantic foundation for an alternative view not less solid than from OASIS (it does not matter how many people contributed into it if it is solid).

Reading Caminao site, I have not found "two different perspectives of reuse". At the same time, it is known that programming re-use of code couples everything in object hierarchies, which is not acceptable for autonomous services in SOA. From SOA viewpoint, DDD-based reuse is not a perspective. This is why I developed DOSOM back in 2009. In DOSOM, SOA service functionality and interfaces define boundaries of the programmatic code re-use for DDD, and there is no other perspectives - services may not be coupled b

Michael,
As you suggest this forum is not the right place for such a detailed
debate, and therefore I would not even enter it. As for the material
used for the article, it is either published on the Caminao  site or
explicitly referenced. Apart from commonly accepted principles, there
isn't much that could have come from OASIS.
In any case the objective of this discussion is not to allocate points
but to initiate a reflection on two different perspectives of reuse.

Michael Poulin — 2012-05-20T10:02:47

It is possible I am out of sync with contemporary materials
but I have not seen publications on "DDD vs SOA" from usability
perspectives (and economics is one of the forms of sublimated usability) since
I published my analysis of superposition between SOA and DDD back in January 2009
(“A Domain Service-Oriented Modelling or How SOA Meets DDD”[ http://www.ebizq.net/blogs/service_oriented/2009/01/a_domain_service-oriented_modelling_or_how_soa_meets_with_ddd.php]).
The same relates to the definition of reuse presented in the Caminao’s
publication (“Reusing artifacts means using them in contexts that are different
of their native ones” vs. multiple use of artefacts in the immutable execution context,
which I articulated back in 2007 when we worked on the first public draft of the
OASIS SOA RAF specification). So, I dare to conclude (and let ‘Caminao’ correct
me), that aforementioned publication has been “fueled” by my early contributions,
which is pleasant to me.

I do assure you that the publi

remyfannader — 2012-05-20T04:44:51

While many remain unconvinced by the benefits of reusing software artifacts it's worth to start with requirements and reexamine the economics of the different options.

    You Say You Want a Revolution...

        By: /Jason Bloomberg/ | Posted: /May 14, 2012/


Remember the heady dot.com days circa 1999? We thought we were 
reinventing business, forming a New Economy, revolutionizing the 
essential nature of commerce. In our dreams! By late 2001 the bubble had 
burst, and what we thought was a new /paradigm/ for business---the World 
Wide Web---turned out to be little more than a new /marketing channel/.

Don't get me wrong---I'm not trying to disparage the power and 
importance of the Web. After all, the Web, and the Internet in general, 
have deeply affected so many aspects of business today. It's hard to 
remember the time when you had to talk to a teller to use a bank or a 
stockbroker to trade stocks! But we were wrong that the Web was a 
revolution. It wasn't a paradigm shift. Fundamentally, the rise of the 
Internet was more /evolutionary/ than /revolutionary/.

Fantastique!

After reading "In other words, the users of the software must actually be part of the agile system", I thought that I'd got into a time-machine and had been shifted back to early 90s.


Then I read, "Agile architectural approaches like SOA" and started to scratch my head trying to figure out what was agile to what.  


Indeed, "The challenge, of course, is actually building such systems that meet the business agility meta-requirement."  In simplified SOA language, it is agility to  business needs (at least, this is how OASIS SOA standards define what is service-oriented architecture is about). In other words, a SOA service (to be useful) has to anticipate not changing requirements but particular need of certain category of consumers. When a SOA service is designer, particular requirements of the consumers are unknown. Moreover, the author of the service cannot physically consider all variety of way hoe the service will be used but future consumers. I've believed that this is 101 of Service O

Every specialization has its own jargon, and IT is no different---but 
many times it seems that techies love to co-opt regular English words 
and give them new meanings. Not only does this practice lead to 
confusion in conversations with non-techies, but even the techies often 
lose sight of the difference between their geek-context definition and 
the real world definition that "normal" people use.

In our Licensed ZapThink Architect

Re: Earls on Defining SOA Infrastructure

Michael Poulin — 2012-04-21T22:31:32

My point is that ESB-creature is not the SOA ESB pattern, it includes a combination of patterns implemented by messaging, semantic/mapping transformers, integration mediators/brokers and registries/repositories. 


In the organisations where SOA Patterns are implemented by different systems (listed above) , an ESB-system is a wast of resources and not needed.

I do not see real difference between an enterprise application integrationand department application integration besides differences in integration policies.

Also, "using an ESB for service orientation"is one of the worst things that can happen to technology and IT if it "uses" it. 

As we know, no one system can convince Business to share their resources. This is not because of IT but because of Value Chain/flow mentality and managerial ownership taught in the MBA programmes. Realisation of service-orinentation  must and slowly moves into Business and it is the only factor that can override process-oriented mindset and facilitate business units to s

Re: Earls on Defining SOA Infrastructure

ESB is a major components of SOA infrastructure.
In order to address the business unit and their corresponding 
application, vertical and horizontal integration needs using an 
enterprise service bus (ESB).

We have to have message flows, mediation, routing, and transformation 
using the ESB and a registry and shared services.

*_For example, To achieve the strategic goal:_“to /improve integration 
both in efficiency/ (e.g., reduced cost of integration and improve 
productivity) and /effectiveness /(e.g., improve flexibility and respond 
faster to business demands*).”

We have to adopt an enterprise service bus (ESB), registry and shared 
services.

Many in the IT department may not understand the difference between 
*enterprise application integration* versus *using an ESB for service 
orientation*.

In the business units and their liaisons, resistance may exist to 
sharing services because they see a potential negative impact on the 
reliance of other teams outside control of their vertical business u

Re: Earls on Defining SOA Infrastructure

Michael Poulin — 2012-04-20T13:21:51

The  2011 Readership Survey results are not surprising - people say what they do, not think. It is known for years that ESB is not needed if an enterprise already has messaging, data transformation and security-and-application servers...

I personally believe that the minimal SOA execution infrastructure should include only registries and repositories that are specially crafted for services.

Also, toMike Rosen's comment, if we would go after what people referred to regarding SOA, we were never created service-oriented architecture.
