SOA Runtime Space

SOA vision revolves agility at all layers in the IT stackChanges in business requirements => quickly resolved in the IT systemChanges in the IT system => quickly visible in the Business layerMonitor components at all layersConceptual mapping of the events to the upper layer entitiesInject specific information (“tracking” data”) to high-level components and thenpropagate themTransformation, mapping, generative toolingBPM tools to compare the execution trace with the upper-layer modelsAid and support tooling to the application and business designerApply BPM management principles across the different layers

Conclusion

A vision for a complete SOA stack

Three conceptual layers at design-time and run-time

Important challenges for the Eclipse community

Tooling and methods for defining proper abstractions for each layer

Tooling and methods for mapping between the different layers

Bridging different conceptual platforms in SOA using appropriatedesign-time tools

A first step is Eclipse STP-IM

BPM approach for managing SOA architectures
