Beginning Java Databases: JDBC, SQL, J2EE, EJB, JSP, XML

May 4, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
Java has evolved into a robust, high performance programming language that is well suited to a range of different environments, be it on a middle tier Application Server or a client browser. Regardless of the architecture of your application you are using, it will almost certainly need to make use of data that is stored in some form of database. Relational databases are the data store of choice in the vast majority of businesses, and have also evolved enormously over the recent years, into powerful and feature-rich data management systems.

This book aims to teach you how to use these two powerful technologies to build successful Java database applications. You will find out how relational databases work and how you can use them in your Java programs, through the JDBC interface. You will see how to apply your new skills in an enterprise environment and by the end will be building sophisticated web-enabled Java database applications that incorporate other technologies, such as XML.

This book covers:

Using the JDBC API to build database-driven Java applications
Introduction to new JDBC 3.0 features
SQL and relational database design
Object-relational mapping frameworks and techniques
Debugging your application and logging its activities
Applying Java and JDBC skills in a J2EE environment
Integrating XML into you Java database applications

Enterprise Architecture A to Z: Frameworks, Business Process Modeling, SOA, and Infrastructure Technology

April 30, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
Driven by the need and desire to reduce costs, organizations are faced with a set of decisions that require analytical scrutiny. Enterprise Architecture A to Z: Frameworks, Business Process Modeling, SOA, and Infrastructure Technology examines cost-saving trends in architecture planning, administration, and management.

To establish a framework for discussion, this book begins by evaluating the role of Enterprise Architecture Planning and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) modeling. It provides an extensive review of the most widely deployed architecture framework models. In particular, the book discusses The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) and the Zachman Architectural Framework (ZAF) in detail, as well as formal architecture standards and all four layers of these models: the business architecture, the information architecture, the solution architecture, and the technology architecture.

The first part of the text focuses on the upper layers of the architecture framework, while the second part focuses on the technology architecture. In this second section, the author presents an assessment of storage technologies and networking and addresses regulatory and security issues. Additional coverage includes high-speed communication mechanisms such as Ethernet, WAN and Internet communication technologies, broadband communications, and chargeback models.

Daniel Minoli has written a number of columns and books on the high-tech industry and has many years of technical hands-on and managerial experience at top financial companies and telecom/networking providers. He brings a wealth of knowledge and practical experience to these pages. By reviewing the strategies in this book, CIOs, CTOs, and senior managers are empowered by a set of progressive approaches to designing state-of-the-art IT data centers.

Business Transformation with TM Forum Solution Frameworks and SOA

April 30, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
Business Transformation with TM Forum Solution Frameworks and SOA, by Serge Garcia, Iwan Gramatikoff and John Wilmes, is one of a series of books that describes how to adopt and apply the TM Forum solution frameworks (NGOSS).

Todays enterprises are increasingly faced with the need for business transformation: implementing a next-generation business model by improving business process effectiveness to attain strategic goals.

But achieving next-generation status requires that enterprises do more than introduce a new IT and process architecture. They must also transform their organizations from being technology-driven to market-driven, recognizing and overcoming challenges to gain:

Effective business processes to help reach strategic enterprise goals
Agile resource management that can evolve as needed
Efficient resource allocation to meet expected results

The main challenge for each company remains finding the best path to follow for its own business transformation. Business Transformation with TM Forum Solution Frameworks and SOA is a practical tool that will guide enterprises to recognize and build their path to the next generation model.

SOA Governance: Achieving and Sustaining Business and IT Agility

April 28, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description

Address the #1 Success Factor in SOA Implementations: Effective, Business-Driven Governance

Inadequate governance might be the most widespread root cause of SOA failure. In SOA Governance, a team of IBM’s leading SOA governance experts share hard-won best practices for governing IT in any service-oriented environment.

The authors begin by introducing a comprehensive SOA governance model that has worked in the field. They define what must be governed, identify key stakeholders, and review the relationship of SOA governance to existing governance bodies as well as governance frameworks like COBIT. Next, they walk you through SOA governance assessment and planning, identifying and fixing gaps, setting goals and objectives, and establishing workable roadmaps and governance deliverables. Finally, the authors detail the build-out of the SOA governance model with a case study.

The authors illuminate the unique issues associated with applying IT governance to a services model, including the challenges of compliance auditing when service behavior is inherently unpredictable. They also show why services governance requires a more organizational, business-centric focus than “conventional” IT governance.

Coverage includes

Understanding the problems SOA governance needs to solve
Establishing and governing service production lines that automate SOA development activities
Identifying reusable elements of your existing IT governance model and prioritizing improvements
Establishing SOA authority chains, roles, responsibilities, policies, standards, mechanisms, procedures, and metrics
Implementing service versioning and granularity
Refining SOA governance frameworks to maintain their vitality as business and IT strategies change
