The Four Degrees of Service Orientation

by Max Dolgicer, Gerhard Bayer

This Executive Report by Max Dolgicer and Gerhard Bayer defines practical criteria that can be used to evaluate the degree to which software products and business applications are service-oriented. After defining these criteria, the report then applies them to services that are SOAP/WSDL-based, REST-based, and asynchronous, as well as to lightly coupled components.
