The aim of this lecture is to continue with Service Oriented Architectures presenting common reference architectures, giving an overview of different standards. This part will be continuation of what seen in the previous lectures about software architecture and SOA.

Another aim is to give an understanding about how project management works in SOA projects, compared to traditional project management practices. We will also review one case study that presents the introduction of SOA within an organization.
