An Architectural Decision Modeling Framework for Service-Oriented Architecture Design (PhD Thesis, Olaf Zimmermann, Stuttgart University, Institute for Architecture of Application Systems)
The thesis complements the Architecture Perspective of "Perspectives on Web Services" with an introduction of SOA principles and patterns, as well as recurring architectural decisions in SOA design. As in the book, PremierQuotes Group serves as a running example.
Abstract: In this thesis, we investigate whether reusable architectural decision models can support Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) design. In the current state of the art, architectural decisions are captured ad hoc and retrospectively on projects; this is a labor-intensive undertaking without immediate benefits. On the contrary, we investigate the role reusable architectural decision models can play during SOA design: We treat recurring architectural decisions as first-class method elements and propose an architectural decision modeling framework and a reusable architectural decision model for SOA which guide the architect through the SOA design. Our approach is tool supported.
Our framework is called SOA Decision Modeling (SOAD). SOAD provides a technique to systematically identify recurring decisions. Our reusable architectural decision model for SOA conforms to a metamodel supporting reuse and collaboration. The model organization follows Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) principles and separates long lasting platform-independent decisions from rapidly changing platform-specific ones. The alternatives in a conceptual model level reference SOA patterns. This simplifies the initial population and ongoing maintenance of the decision model. Decision dependency management allows knowledge engineers and software architects to check model consistency and prune irrelevant decisions. Moreover, a managed issue list guides through the decision making process. To update design artifacts according to decisions made, decision outcome information is injected into design model transformations. Finally, a Web-based collaboration system provides tool support for the framework steps and concepts.
The SOAD framework is not only applicable to enterprise application and SOA design, but also to other application genres and architectural styles. SOAD supports use cases such as education, knowledge exchange, design method, review technique, and governance instrument.

Version 3.1 of OOPSLA/ECOWS tutorial and ECOWS 2007 keynote incl. SOAD overview
Building SOAs with Web services is a tutorial that teaches both SOA concepts and Web services technologies: Module 1 is an introduction to SOA principles and patterns (by example). Module 2 is an updated short version of the Training Perspective from the book. Module 3 updates the development perspective, now using the Eclipse Web Tools Project rather than WebSphere. PHP is covered as well. Module 4 updates the Architecture and the Engagement Perspective, and outlines the SOAD project.

Third reprint, content updates available in OOPSLA/ECOWS tutorial and ECOWS/WTE presentation
Some good news, some bad news.
Bad news is that we still have not been able to produce a full second edition of the book, and will not be for a while. The reasons have changed a bit since 2005: Olaf has morphed into a researcher (see his updated bio and paper list) and Mark is kept busy by Baby Tom. At least Stefan still lives in client land :-)
Good news is that fresh SOA coverage as well as Web Services standards and coding updates are available in tutorial and presentation form. The tutorials and presentations we gave at various conferences in 2005 and 2006 were very well received, so we hope you will also find them to be useful complements and companions to the book.
There are four modules in the tutorial: Module 1 is an introduction to SOA and Web services principles and patterns. Module 2 is an updated short version of the Training Perspective from the book. Module 3 updates the development perspective, now using the Eclipse Web Tools Project rather than WebSphere. PHP is covered as well. Module 4 updates the Architecture and the Engagement Perspective. The presentation has elements from the book, from the OOPSLA practitioner reports also available on this site, and first public information about Olaf's research project. Stay tuned!

Second reprint of PoWS available
As much as we would have loved to update Perspectives on Web Services to cover the latest Web services standards and SOA concepts such as enterprise service bus and process choreography, our client commitments have kept us from undertaking such an ambitious project so far. Therefore, this section is the most significant update to the book as we go into our second reprint. The fantastic feedback from our readers, which we appreciate very much, has however told us that much of the advice and best practices held within the following chapters continues to be highly relevant and useful for our target audience.
