Praise for Service-Oriented Modeling
Service Analysis, Design, and Architecture
"Michael Bell has done it again with a book that will be remembered as a key facilitator of the global shift to Service-Oriented Architecture. . . . With this book, Michael Bell provides that foundation and more-an essential bible for the next generation of enterprise IT."
-Eric Pulier, Executive Chairman, SOA Software
"Michael Bell's insightful book provides common language and techniques for business and technology organizations to take advantage of the SOA paradigm. By focusing modeling techniques on the business problem, Bell provides a way for professionals to work throughout the life cycle to create reusable and enduring services."
-Mike Zbranak, CIO, Chase Card Services
"This book will become an imperative business and technology service-oriented modeling recipe for any manager, architect, modeler, analyst, and developer in today's software development industry."
-Jeff Schneider, CEO, MomentumSI
"'Innovative' and 'groundbreaking' are words that best describe Michael Bell's Service-Oriented Modeling. It depicts a true service modeling approach that elegantly closes a clear and critical service modeling gap in the SOA industry. This holistic book ties these concepts together using real-world examples across a service life cycle that transitions services from ideas and concepts into production assets that deliver business value. A must-read for business and technical SOA practitioners."
-Eric A. Marks, CEO, AgilePath Corporation
"As hot as SOA is today, many business and technology professionals still find it challenging to mind the gap between their disparate methodologies and objectives. Herein Michael Bell speaks clearly to both camps in straightforward language, outlining disciplines each can use to communicate effectively and advance the realization of corporate aims. This book is a bible for all who seek to drive business/technology into the future."
-Mark Edward Goodrich, Director, Investing Product Management, Reuters Media
"This book takes senior IT architects and systems designers into the depths of modeling for SOA, with a fresh new perspective on tools, terminology, and how to turn the theory into practice. His full life-cycle approach balances process, control, and accountability to align all the participants in the delivery pipeline-clearing the road for successful SOA business solutions."
-Phil Gilligan, Chief Technology Officer, EBS

 Awesome, Contemporary, Creative, Mad!!! July 3, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I do not know the authors, I have never met them or spoken to them, but I must say this.
This book is:
"Awesome" because there is nothing like this that explains services!
"Contemporary" because of its innovative approach to design and architecture integration
"Creative" because it tells you how to design and architect SOA and services in different ways, yet it makes a lot of sense!
"Mad" because when you read it you realize how surprising it is!
I strongly recommend this book to the business development and technical development people. The author came up with an overarching approach to design that can be easily embraced and agreed upon. This is an unbelievable modeling material that should be a must for every student, employers and employees.
Also, if you are a software modeler a developer a manager an architect a business analyst a business planner a program manager a database modeler a student - or plan to be one, you must have this book. I have it already!

Excellent Diagrams & Modeling Patterns June 8, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
If you buy this book it will change the way you think about software design and architecture. I am sure that it will give you a different perspective about architecting an application and it will enhance your knowledge about analyzing a service and involving legacy applications in the design phase. This book is strong on explaining what type of software components you will need to embed in your architecture. The most contributing part of this book is the recommended diagrams & modeling patterns that you as a developer, an architect, a business analyst, or project manager will need for articulating service design.
My company is currently adopting this book as our service development guide which includes the recommended diagrams and service modeling patterns and deliverables.
Profound Service Lifecycle Methodology June 6, 2008
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
My organization, a retail company, adopted this book as the leading methodology for SOA development. The main reason for choosing this material was the strong service lifecycle, a methodological way for discovering services by following the conceptualization approach, service design and architecture and integration guidance.
It looks like the author "grew up" in dynamic environments where he studied the major SOA problems. We have about 250 services that needed integration and most important our employees needed more education on "how to" issues. Among the burning problems that we identified and are properly explained in this book are for example ESB usage: why, when, and how much; SOA integration products such as gateways, data massaging and processing, data collection, and other programming issues with integration of services.
This is the first book that explains in simple words what is needed to simulate a service environment and how to integrate SOA and services for small applications or even larger SOA environments that contain a few applications.
 Where is the beef? June 5, 2008
2 out of 10 found this review helpful
When I purchased this book there were 8 glowing recommendations listed on Amazon. This was my second book related to SOA technology. The first one was a light, but good introduction. When I purchase this book I was expecting a practical book with some real-life examples. What I have purchased was desert sand, a very dry text which is so boring that I had several attempts to read this book to the end. If there is knowledge buried someplace in this book, then it is hidden too deep for me. The back of the book contains several praises (8 to be exact) from CEO's, CIOs, Executive Chairman, etc. I wonder how many of them really read this book and tried to use this newly acquired knowledge to design SOA system. Anyway, if you want to learn something about SOA architecture and design, this book might disappoint you. Try something that is closer to the ground and more practical. One day, after getting deeper into SOA architecture I will come back to this book to see whether I will change my opinion.
Strong Hands On SOA Design & Architecture May 14, 2008
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
The service-orientation modeling book is a non nonsense book that gives you straight answers to your service analysis and design questions. You'll not find any time wasting pages such as XML or WS* that mean noting to hands on professionals. I purchased this book because I expected to learn more about SOA modeling but most of the book discusses ways to categorized services, abstract services, analyze services, design services and architect services. The recommended hands on design method in the book focus on pure modeling and do not get off track. This is a straight forward guide that provided me with immediate answers for our projects (not only SOA). Amongst the most interesting topics that are in the book have answers to how to design services, how to connect services, how to crate a environment that supports multiple contracts.
