Web 2.0 has been adopted by many as the best way for forming a collaborative framework e.g., sharing resources, experiences, information, knowledge and feedback. A collaborative framework for application to e-health is necessary to provide patients with the awareness that assists in improving their health. Moreover, collaborative framework can be used by physician to exchange experiences and discuss challenge cases. However, the use of Web 2.0 with healthcare applications is not simple as the use of Web 20 with other enterprise applications according to the privacy of healthcare applications, which requires high quality and security of data, availability of resources, maintainability of services, system security, and Quality of Services (QoS). To offer the required requirements, grid computing is proposed here. Grid computing supporting enterprise applications through offering massive resources through resources collaborative framework that is offering power computing, storage devices, and services. The use of grid computing by Web 2.0 requires robust model that is able to deploy, discover, invoke, and integrate resources in open standard format. Therefore, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is adopted as a model for managing the mixing between Web 2.0 and grid computing technologies. SOA for Web 2.0 and Grid Computing (SOAW2G) are used throughout this work to offer a fabric for e-health applications.

Web 2.0 is expected to be the next technology in the interaction between the enterprise applications and end users. Such interaction will be utilized in producing self-governance applications that are able to readjacent and reconfigure the operation framework based on users’ feedback. To achieve this, huge numbers of underneath resources (infrastructures and services) are required. Therefore, this work proposes the merge of Web 2.0 technology and grid computing overlay to support Web 2.0 framework. Such merge between technologies is expected to offer mutual benefits for both communities. Through this work, a model for managing the interaction between the two technologies is developed based on the adapting of service oriented architecture (SOA) model, this model is known as SOAW2G. This model manages the interaction between the users at the top level and resources at the bottom layer. As a case study, managing health information based on users’ (doctors, medicine companies, and others) experiences is explored through this chapter.

The integration of service-oriented architecture (SOA) and grid computing has been gaining momentum since the early 2000s. Most of the SOA-based grid implementations have been created using the lingua franca of the web services, namely SOAP, XML-formatted, message-based services. Although this technology provides advanced features such as security, transactions, reliability and workflow, these features are not always used in grid implementations. Adding these sophisticated features to the technology stack when they are not needed or used makes the implementations difficult and tedious for implementers. Web 2.0 and REST offer a set of techniques and tools that results in a paradigm shift in the web and enterprise applications. This chapter discusses the integration of Web 2.0 and RESTful web services into grid implementations. The suggested techniques and technologies alongside the proposed architecture will be discussed. Moreover, this chapter will explain how this model is useful and greener.

Are you a software engineer/developer/coder or maybe even a tech enthusiast who is thinking of agility, parallel development and reducing cost. In the early twentieth century, we witnessed the rise of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), which is a software architecture pattern that allows us to construct large-scale enterprise applications that require us to integrate multiple services, each of which is made over different platforms and languages through a common communication mechanism, where we write code and multiple services talk to each other’s for a business use case, but sometimes we end up with one big monolithic code base whose maintenance becomes difficult. Nowadays clients are using cloud and paying for on-demand services without effectively utilizing resources. These problems invite micro-services. In this paper, I am going to discuss how one should use scale application in a production environment and local machine

Service oriented architecture (SOA) has been widely used in the design of enterprise applications over the last two decades. Though SOA has become popular in the integration of multiple applications using the enterprise service bus, there are few challenges related to delivery, deployment, governance, and interoperability of services. To overcome the design and maintenance challenges in SOA, a new architecture of microservices has emerged with loose coupling, independent deployment, and scalability as its key features. With the advent of microservices, software architects have started to migrate legacy systems to microservice architecture. However, many challenges arise during the migration of SOA to microservices, including the decomposition of SOA to microservice, the testing of microservices designed using different programming languages, and the monitoring the microservices. In this paper, we aim to provide patterns for the most recurring problems highlighted in the literature i.e, the decomposition of SOA services, the size of each microservice, and the detection of anomalies in microservices. The suggested patterns are combined with our experience in the migration of SOA-based applications to the microservices architecture, and we have also used these patterns in the migration of other SOA applications. We evaluated these patterns with the help of a standard web-based application.

The Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural styles are the most used for the integration of enterprise applications. Each is more adequate to a different class of applications and exhibits advantages and disadvantages. This chapter performs a comparative study between them. It is shown that SOA and REST are dual architectural styles, one oriented towards behavior and the other towards state. This raises the question of whether it is possible to combine them to maximize the advantages and to minimize the disadvantages. A new architectural style, Structural Services, is proposed to obtain the best characteristics from SOA and REST. As in SOA, services are able to offer a variable set of operations and, as in REST, resources are allowed to have structure. This style uses structural interoperability, based on structural compliance and conformance. A service-oriented programming language is also introduced to instantiate this architectural style.

As 80-85% of all corporate information remains unstructured, outside of the processing scope of enterprise systems, many enterprises rely on Information Systems that cause them to risk transactions that are based on lack of information (errors of omission) or misleading information (errors of commission). To address this concern, the fundamental business concept of monetary transactions is extended to include qualitative business concepts. A Transaction Concept (TC) is accordingly identified that provides a structure for these unstructured but vital aspects of business transactions. Based on REA (Resources, Events, Agents) and modelled using Conceptual Graphs (CGs) and Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), the TC provides businesses with a more balanced view of the transactions they engage in and a means of discovering new transactions that they might have otherwise missed. A simple example is provided that illustrates this integration and reveals a key missing element. This example is supported by reference to a wide range of case studies and application areas that demonstrate the added value of the TC. The TC is then advanced into a Transaction-Oriented Architecture (TOA). The TOA provides the framework by which an enterprise’s business processes are orchestrated according to the TC. TOA thus brings Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and the productivity of enterprise applications to the height of the real, transactional world that enterprises actually operate in.

Supporting global scientific collaborations are becoming more important due to the increasing complexity of modern scientific problems as well as the need for sharing specialized expensive instruments and huge amount of data required for solving these problems. The combination of Grid computing and Web-based architecture has been a common technological architecture employed to address the need for an integrated environment for scientific collaborations. However, this approach is subjected to a certain level of centralized administration and control. This has been seen as inflexible and does not scale well with respect to the heterogeneity of distributed user communities. This chapter introduces an orchestration of P2P and Grid computing for supporting distributed scientific collaborations. In the resulted architecture, a P2P collaborative environment is used for heterogeneous users to collaborate and tap into large-scale computational resources and experimental datasets in the Grid computing environment. The service oriented architecture is used as a means of integrating these two environments.

The performance of airplane in commercial airline environment is determined by, and therefore an indicator of performance measure of, the thermodynamic properties of airplane. The aim of this study was to establish the use of simulators to determine aircraft accident for a flight of airplanes and evaluate the potential of new airspace structure and airport’s runway. This indicates that there is a possibility of obtaining airplane performance from analysis and verification simulating airplane. As compared with AIRBUS Full Flight Simulator, a multiple aircrafts flight simulator that grouping aircrafts simultaneously take off and land was presented, which is basis on a parallel distributed computing in Open Grid Computing Environment (OGCE), and service oriented architecture (SOA) of software in multiple aircraft simulator, the performance of collaborative flight of multiple aircrafts is evaluated.
