The Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) concept is rapidly changing the way modern enterprise systems are designed, built and managed. An SOA is not just a technical architecture but a revolutionary way to design an enterprise environment that features cross-platform compatibility, agility and cost-efficiency. An SOA can be realised using a number of technologies, amongst them Web services are considered to be the key technical enabler of SOA.
It is fast becoming one of the most important skills for an IT graduate to be able to understand the role of an SOA in different contexts and to articulate the motivation behind service-based technologies and their practical implications in terms of engineering complex software systems and automating business processes.
This module aims to provide students with a deep understanding of SOA, service-orientation paradigm, and Web services as an implementation technology.
We also aim to train the students to develop the ability to appreciate the necessity for tracking technology development and become a self-learner and an insightful predictor of future developments in this area.

This course is taught the way it is because we believe in structured learning, also learning by doing. We provide timely feedback for learning via small, step-by-step assignments that gradually build up knowledge and practical skills.
The assessment consists of the following components:
Final Mark = Lab Work + Formal Exam + Quiz
(Note: The weight of the practical work has been revised upwardly after the Week 1 discussion with the class)
Plagiarism is defined as using the words or ideas of others and presenting them as your own . UNSW and CSE treat plagiarism as academic misconduct, which means that it carries penalties as severe as being excluded from further study at UNSW. There are several on-line sources to help you understand what plagiarism is and how it is dealt with at UNSW:
Make sure that you read and understand these. Ignorance is not accepted as an excuse for plagiarism.

This course is evaluated each session using the CATEI system. The feedback from 16s1 offering was generally positive. In particular, many found the assignments were practical, well-designed and were relevant to the course topic. Some commented that the assignments should have more weight than the final exam. I have considered that and slightly adjusted the weighting of the assessment items this semester.
