Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a design that enables Business and computational resources to be linked together on demand as a means of achieving the results desired for service consumers – which may be end users or other services. Service Oriented Architecture has been defined by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards as a paradigmatic approach for the utilizationand organization of distributed capabilities that might be under the control of conflicting ownership domains.

IBM Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) – IBM’s SOA certification site. Information includes the exam levels, an exam roadmap, information on test fees, announcements, WebSphere User Groups (special offers), IBM Academic Initiative (special offers), certification testing at conferences, SOA software group certifications, and the software group platform.
The Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Blog – There are three SOA certification programs aimed at architects put on by IBM, BEA and ZapThink. While the early exams for the software vendor’s start off somewhat technology agnostic the advanced exams become technology specific. BEA’s exams for some reason cover BEA WebLogic Integration and not the AquaLogic service bus and BPM product from the current description on the web.
The following Syllabus is covered by most of the courses and professional SOA Certification Trainings.
Service Oriented Architecture provides a single means of offering, interacting, discovering and using different capabilities to produce the effects that are desired and consistent with measurable expectations and preconditions. Of course, there are a number of different definitions of Service Oriented Architecture. To an extent, it depends on how you wish to employ it and or view it. The more open definitions, however, take into consideration the fact that Service Oriented Architecture very well might be applied to Business domains and technological entities.
