Abstract

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is becoming the new paradigm for developing enterprise systems. We consider SOA to be concerned with high-level design of software, which is commonly called software architecture. In this respect, SOA can be considered to be a new architectural style. This paper proposes an advanced software architecture for information systems. It was developed by systematically applying solid software engineering principles such as loose coupling, interface stability and asynchronous communication to contemporary n-tier architectures for information systems in Java Enterprise Edition. The resulting architecture is SOA-compliant, generic and demonstrates to a high extent architectural qualities such as evolvability.
