Book excerpt: Web browsing would not be what it is today without the use of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Although much has been written about SOA methodology, this emerging platform is continuously under development. Exploring Enterprise Service Bus in the Service-Oriented Architecture Paradigm is a detailed reference source that examines current aspects and research methodologies that enable enterprise service bus to unify and connect services efficiently on a common platform. Featuring relevant topics such as SOA reference architecture, grid computing applications, complex event computing, and java business integration, this is an ideal resource for all practitioners, academicians, graduate students, and researchers interested in the discoveries on the relationship that Service-Oriented architecture and enterprise service bus share.
