Two Roles of Processes in SOA
The distinction between business processes that orchestrate services in the context of human-centric workflows, and processes that orchestrate services in the context of a single short-lived transaction, is not always understood. Misunderstanding the differences between the two types of processes may lead to costly mistakes in creating organizational architecture strategies and, ultimately, the selection of wrong standards and tools. In this Article, Vitaly Khusidman explains the difference between the roles in the two processes. Further, he proposes a layered diagram for SOA Reference Architecture, providing general recommendations for selecting standards and tools.
