Abstract

Software-oriented architecture (SOA) is a very powerful Internet-based framework which can be targeted towards Web-based Support Systems (WSS). SOA equips these systems to supplement their intelligence, decision-making, and processing potential with the universality and ubiquity of the Internet. It makes the WSS ‘agile’, implying that these support systems can adapt their intelligence very quickly due to the swift access of data available in the form of a ‘service’ through SOA. No matter how distributed and specialized a data source is, and regardless of whether it is domain-independent or domain-dependent, these systems can just ‘plug’ into any technology they want by acting as consumers of a ‘service’. This truly amplifies the performance and system response of WSS. This chapter follows this vision of defining the architectural technique of SOA and how its nuances interplay with the concept of WSS. A complete case study outlining the marriage of SOA and WSS has been provided to further illustrate the merits of such a combined system.
