The overall objective of the course is to introduce some of the main aspects of the design, analysis, and development of software services. After introducing the core standards of Web services, the course focuses on 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, and the role of service agreements are also discussed. Finally, some of the currently emerging technologies – in particular RESTful and cloud-based services- are introduced. The course includes a “hands-on” lab devoted to experiment the design, analysis, development and deployment of simple Web services.

Students of the Master in Computer Science can take the 6 credit version of the course "389 AA - Servizi software" either as a "subsidiary" ("complementare") or as a "free choice" ("libera scelta") course. The 6 credit version of the course does not include the lab sessions and students are not required to develop a project for the final exam. Alternatively, Students of the Master in Computer Science can also take the whole 9 credit course "290AA Ingegneria dei servizi software" as a "free choice" ("libera scelta") course.
