B. Service A

C. Database A

D. Desktop Application A

A. rely on the use of agnostic services that are generally shared across multiple solutions."

B. be comprised of service compositions that can impose increased data exchange requirements."

C. rely on the use of XML-based technologies that can impose additional runtime processing overhead."

D. have been developed using extreme programming techniques and may therefore have not been subjected to the proper quality assurance procedures."

A. Web services are required in order to build service-oriented solutions.

B. To apply service-orientation requires the use of Web services.

C. None of these statements are true.

D. When discussing SOA and service-oriented computing, the term "Web service" must always be synonymous with (have the same meaning as) the term "service".

A. multiple enterprise service registries

B. a single enterprise service registry

C. multiple enterprise service inventories

D. a single enterprise service inventory

A. This target environment helps the organization itself gain greater value from IT, because IT imposes less of a burden on the organization."

B. In this target environment, services establish a federated endpoint layer.

C. In this target environment, business logic is accurately expressed through services as a result of collaboration between business analysts and technology experts.

D. In this target environment, services are naturally interoperable and composable.

A. Services A and B need to reside on the same physical server or workstation, thereby allowing them to be reused without the need for major integration effort.

B. Service A needs to be designed using a different vendor platform than ServiceB. This enables vendor diversity, thereby guaranteeing interoperability.

C. Services A and B need to be standardized and designed with an emphasis on intrinsic interoperability so that they are compatible regardless of when or by which project team they are delivered.

D. Services always require the use of transformation technologies in order to communicate. Therefore, major integration effort is unavoidable in this scenario.

A. False

B. True

A. Intrinsic interoperability is important because it is fundamental to enabling services to be repeatedly composed.

B. Intrinsic interoperability is important because it enables services to exchange data without having to resort to transformation technologies.

C. Intrinsic interoperability is important because it helps increase the quantity of integration projects that may be required to accommodate new business requirements, thereby fostering agility.

D. Intrinsic interoperability is important because one of the goals of service-oriented computing is to increase intrinsic interoperability.

A. custom design characteristics commonly found in service-oriented solutions

B. industry standards commonly used by service-oriented solutions

C. custom design standards commonly used by service-oriented solutions

D. industry characteristics commonly found in service-oriented solutions

A. A target state whereby all services are always consistently delivered as Web services.

B. A target state whereby standardized service contracts have been established to express a consistent and unified service endpoint layer.

C. A target state whereby the enterprise has adopted SOA by replacing all legacy environments with custom-developed services.

D. A target state in which the entire enterprise has been successfully service-oriented.
