The overall objective of the course is to introduce some of the main aspects in the design, analysis, and development of software services. After introducing the core standards of Web services, the course introduces service composition as one of the key aspects of service-oriented architectures, and the use of workflow languages supporting the specification and the execution of business processes is illustrated. The role of business process analysis is discussed, and some examples of modelling and analyses of business processes are illustrated. The advantages of enhanced service descriptions including policies and behavioural informaton are also discussed, as well as the role and relevance of service agreements. The course includes a “hands-on” lab that is devoted to experiment the design, analysis, and development of simple Web services.
