Created as part of the Master of information Technology and Master of Applied Information Technology Units - 2009

This unit has been updated as part of a 2009 review and comparison of data with current Handbook, Syllabus + and Callista data.

This unit amendment change was requested and approved by FEC/GPC in 2009. Pls. see minutes: http://www.infotech.monash.edu.au/non-cms/about/committees-groups/fec/sc-pgcrsework/2009/meetings/spl09min.html

However, for some strange reason MONATAR is not reflecting the approved change.

This change is requested to bring MONATAR in line with the FEC/GPC approved unit amendment to avoid future miscommunication.

This change is requested for Sem 1, 2011.

The unit preq is incorrect following the removal of certain units. The only pre-req for this unit is the knowledge level pre-req.

This change is requested for Sem 1, 2011.

29/5/2012 - Amended Assessment. Change to take effect from Semester 1 2013.

07/12/2017 - Unit disestablished at FEC 5/17 Item 7.3.

This is one of four core units in the Internet and Web Development Specialisation and the Software Engineering Specialisation in the Master of Information Technology (MIT) and the Master of Applied Information Technology (MAIT). It is also available as an elective in all FIT Masters.

At the completion of this unit students will:

• have knowledge of the Service Oriented Computing paradigm, its evolution and the emergence of web services;
• understand the Service Oriented Architectures and the various key standards that enable the realisation of web services such as SOAP, WSDL and UDDI;
• compare and evaluate various Service Discovery Protocols;
• have the skills to build and deploy web services using a range of current technologies;
• be able to access, invoke and use publicly available web services in application development (e.g. Google Web Service);
• have an understanding on emerging issues, trends and topics in web services research.

This unit focuses on the Service Oriented Computing paradigm and web services technology. Students will be exposed to the motivations that led to the emergence of web services from middleware and Enterprise Architecture Integration (EAI). The unit will introduce the fundamental concepts of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), web services and the key standards that underpin web services: SOAP, WSDL and UDDI. The unit will evaluate and compare various service discovery protocols. The unit will provide students with skills to program and deploy web services as well as to access and consume/use web services.
