SOLEA project
SOLEA is a project which studies and develops solutions, models
and methods of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach for
locally adaptable Enterprise Architecture in various organizations.
The project is mainly funded by the Finnish Agency of Technology and Innovation
TEKES.
SOLEA aims to provide answers to questions such as:
- How service-orientation should affect EA and how is helps to align Business and
IT?
- How the benefits of SOA are achieved and how to adapt generic solutions
and standards locally in relation to SOA?
- How to identify and define services
to maximise the promised business benefits – cost efficiency and adaptability –
through reuse?
- How to deploy solutions effectively and make sure of interoperability
in the networked economy (B2B requirements)?
Participants
SOLEA participants include industrial companies and healthcare districts (end-users
aiming to accomplish a good SOA and EA by renewing their IT infrastructures), systems
integrators (companies helping end-users in their SOA) and product vendors (who
offer infrastructure or components for service-oriented solutions).
The research is carried out by University
of Eastern Finland, HIS R&D Unit and Aalto
University, Software Business and Engineering institute (SoberIT).
