Service Oriented Architecture. SOA is an architectural style whose goal is to achieve loose coupling among interacting software agents. A service is a unit of work done by a service provider to achieve desired end results for a service consumer. Both provider and consumer are roles played by software agents on behalf of their owners. The idea of SOA departs significantly from that of object oriented programming, which strongly suggests that you should bind data and its processing together. So, in object oriented programming style, every CD would come with its own player and they are not supposed to be separated. This sounds odd, but it's the way we have built many software systems.
Services Order Assurance - Validation of customer invoicing requirements by calling services A/R and the customer's accounts payable/key payment contact or the PM/client rep. It provides quality contract management and invoicing that meets the customer's expectations.
Service Oriented Architecture. A service oriented architecture is essentially a collection of services. These services communicate with each other. The communication can involve either simple data passing or it could involve two or more services coordinating some activity. A means of connecting services to each other is required. SOA isn't completely new the Object Request Brokers (ORBs) based on the CORBA specification, was possibly one of the first service oriented architectures.

With SOA small IT functional components (services) can be flexibly combined into solutions for entire business processes using standardized interfaces. For the efficient use of this new technology it is imperative to optimize business processes and assign them to the appropriate functional components of an operative software solution.

Service Oriented Architecture. A technical sInternet, web-based software architecture to increase the inter-operability among differing software systems. 1 May. 2006 Definition
A service-oriented architecture is a software architectural concept where composite web applications are developed as a collection of services that can be independently developed, deployed, discovered and even replaced. The services typically support one aspect of a business requirement or process and while the internals of the service can be implemented in any number of ways, the interface to other components that use the service generally conforms to a standard such as Web Services.
A software architectural concept that defines the use of services to support the requirements of software users. In a SOA environment, nodes on a network make resources available to other participants in the network as independent services that the participants access in a standardized way. Most definitions of SOA identify the use of Web services (using SOAP and WSDL) in its implementation. However, one can implement SOA using any service-based technology.
"Application architecture organized around the use of services, including Web Services."
Principles and practices for sharing, reusing, and orchestrating business logic represented as services or components. SOA is the most optimized and cost-effective way to deliver applications deployed on grid-based infrastructures.
