I heard about this book when i was searching for software development material for my company; my background is pretty diverse since i worked for a banking institute as a programmer and then i held a position as a product developer for a credit card business division. then i did application architecture and very recently i moved to our enterprise archtitecture group. Because of my diversified background i must say that this book adds a enormous value to my work. In the beginning i thought that these are patterns in the traditional way. I thought that these are design pattens only. But i was surprised that these are not only design or what the author calls them modeling patterns, these are also process patterns. It may sound strange but this is awesome. I found it very easy to understand and implement. another issue that i run against was the way that a service is presented - very universal,; so a service can be any software component. very interesting. i was also searching for a tool to implement the language that is in the last eight chapters - this is the structural and contextual modeling of the service. I was surprised to find that the enterprise architect product - the next version probably is going to have a good coverage of the language. Excellent material in my opinion;- you really do not need to know any particular language such as java or whatever;- you just need to use the simple notation to link services or aggregated them. see this link: [...] - in this link i found some pdf documents and i discovered that this book can be used for a bunch of softwar projects including development of regular applications or SOA or even clouds. ----- very impressive and useful book -----

Service-Oriented Modeling Patterns (SOMP) - S. Muir - Washington, DC
The Service-Oriented Modeling Patterns (SOMP) represented in this book offer hands on approach to SOA and Cloud Computing modeling and to enterprise architecture modeling as well. Not only developers can use these patterns, architects and project managers are also the practitioners that should be utilize this methodology to design an application or an enterprise solution.
I strongly recommend the Contextual and Structural modeling and analysis approach. These patterns are state-of-the-art guidelines for software development, design and architecture. Consider these features of the service-oriented modeling framework features:
A. Contextual Modeling: Generalization, Expansion, Specification, and Contraction
B. Structural Modeling: Generalization, Expansion, Specification, and Contraction
Strong Enterprise Architecture Modeling & Patterns - Hormazd M. Pochara -
I strongly recommend this book for people that are seeking to enhance their knowledge in the space of enterprise architecture development, analysis, and design.
The book introduces modeling practices, language, and patterns to address discovery and analysis of software entities.
The organization of the book is also impressive and easy to understand. The major patterns that are discussed are:
1) Roadmap patterns for service discovery and analysis
2) Service discovery patterns
3) Service categorization patterns
4) Service contextual analysis patterns and modeling
5) Service structural analysis patterns and modeling
The book is highly recommended for business and IT professionals!
Recommended for all SOA Business and Software Architects (and IT Mgmt) - Robert Hathaway - NJ
This book by Michael Bell (on SOMF) provides strong principles and processes that should be understood by all business and software architects prior to developing and implementing an SOA initiative and will be helpful in elucidating and elaborating on the principles of analysis and discovery to those already practicing. The book provides a hands-on perspective advocating incremental analysis and discovery based on a decade of SOA experience. SOMF calls for strong service governance standards and process to direct efforts and achieve success. These standards and processes will fit perfectly into any RUP/SOMA style process (among others). Based on my 20+ years in software development, 15+ years as an architect with 8 years architecting with SOA and defining enterprise standards across many diverse projects, this book is a must read with quality brimming on every page.
By making the importance of developing good early processes for problem understanding and solutions clear, projects are more likely to avoid issues later on. Michael Bell underscores the need for analytical approaches of service discovery and analysis thoughout the service lifecycle, as an iterative and fractal process and provides a strong foundation and breakdown.
SOMF provides a key part of the SOA roadmap working towards a production-line service delivery process to achieve an efficient delivery mechanism and the elusive IT ROI so desperately sought after in business.
