UML for Service Oriented Architecture Training Course UK

Dates and full course list

UML for Service Oriented Architecture Training Course Overview

Course Code:	SOA0060
Price:	£1250
Duration:	3 days
DATE:
Who should attend:	Ideally suited to high-level enterprise application architects, designers, developers and technical managers. However, we are able to customise the course to suit the audience. Please call for details.
Prerequisite Skills:	Some exposure to a modelling language might be beneficial Knowledge of object oriented concepts Experience with analysis and design activities.

There are many facets of an enterprise Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), each facet typically requiring in depth knowledge of its usage and proper application.

UML for SOA Modelling provides completeness through all levels of a SOA, from concepts through architecture to implementation. Our course uses a SOA reference architecture that adheres to the OASIS SOA reference model and implemented as a navigable UML model.

With SOA, computing architectures are expanding beyond object-oriented self-sufficiency and now allowing for highly specialized and interoperable computing consumer/producer relationships. We will explore the relationships between SOA and objects oriented paradigms, and analysis and design activities.

What you will learn:

1. Participants will experience the advantages of Service Oriented Architecture modelling.
2. Learn how to use UML to model business services.
3. You will understand the advantages of a standardized framework for developing quality components.
4. How to apply best practices or business ‘patterns’.
5. How do I manage my models?
6. I have an existing base of UML models, how do I translate them to schemas?
7. What methodology do I use to discover base elements of business process?
8. What are UML Profiles for SOA, XSD or UDDI?
9. What is the SOA Reference Model?
