Two must reads for any software architect, finding the balance between theory and practice, independent of any architectural style and technology:
- Software Systems Architecture by Nick Rozanski and Eoin Woods introduces core concepts as well as a pragmatic, viewpoint- and perspective-based architecture framework and
- The Process of Software Architecting by Peter Cripps and Peter Eeles is a definite reference for architecting tasks, work products and realization levels.
The Jazz Project and the Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration take a RESTful approach to tool integration.
Two excellent SOA and Web services books came out in 2007: Web Services: Principles and Technology by Mike Papazoglou and SOA in Practice by Nicolai Josuttis. The titles say it all - both highly recommended!
Olaf's team since 2006 is the Business Integration Technologies (BIT) project in IBM Research.
Two interesting Wikipedia entries are Service-Oriented Analysis and Design and Business-Driven Development.
Grady Booch Handbook of Software Architecture is a favorite. 2000 patterns collected and classified!
Make sure to visit www.eaipatterns.com
which is the Website supporting the brilliant Enterprise Integration Patterns book. Numerous invaluable resources and references!
