Service Oriented Architecture
Service Oriented Architecture applies the principles of Component Based Development to the wider software asset base, including legacy systems, with easy integration as a goal. Reuseable funcitonality from existing systems is exposed as web services by wrapping an available interface in a standard web services protocol. This allows, for example, stable, well-proven back-office systems to be used to provide the realisation of customer-facing web applications.
