Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) provides an easily understandable and easily extensible means of designing and implementing highly flexible and highly responsive applications. Cloud computing provides a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. Cloud computing allows a subscription-based or payper- use service to extend an information technology (IT) group's capabilities in real time, using an intranet or the Internet. Students will learn how to design, implement, secure and manage SOA-based applications in a cloud computing environment.
