What is Service Computing?

Providing technical solutions to the business that are
derived directly from the business processes they
support.
Decomposing business processes into discrete
business services used to produce IT-enabled
business processes for internal and external
consumption.
Systematically creating new
services by rewiring and
integrating existing services
and business processes.

Why Service Computing?

What is SOA ?
Evolution of distributed computing
Application functions are modularized and
presented as services
IT architecture for synchronous and
asynchronous applications
Services are loosely coupled
Service interface is independent of the
implementation
