This material is targeted at executives, product managers, business architects, business analysts, technical architects, technical managers, team leaders, and developers.

The service-oriented discovery and analysis workshop introduces best practices and processes that are used to discover new services and even employ legacy applications to render viable business and technological solutions. It provides unique mechanisms to establish services’ identities and to categorize them based on their distinctive characteristics. In addition, it presents a formal SOA analysis language that facilitates service-oriented analysis activities. Business and IT executives, architects, software modelers, and developers will find this topic beneficial.
