Enterprise SOA Adoption Strategies

Enterprise SOA Adoption Strategies

Major changes in technology have not been driven by the technologies themselves but by the change in thinking that they enabled. OO design changed software by changing thoughts away from procedures and onto real world "things". This book argues that for SOA to succeed we must move our thoughts away from the implementation technologies and towards the "what" of the business. Using a straight-forward, pictorially driven, methodology the book explains who to discover what the business services really are and how to construct an overall business service architecture.

Introduction to Reverse Engineering Software

Introduction to Reverse Engineering Software

This book is an attempt to provide an introduction to reverse engineering software under both Linux and Microsoft Windows. The goal of this book is not to cover how to reproduce an entire program from a binary, but instead how to use the Scientific Method to deduce specific behavior and to target, analyze, extract and modify specific operations of a program, usually for interoperability purposes.
