Service-oriented architecture (SOA) - the future of corporate integration

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is an architectural pattern in software development that is based on the provision of services. SOA aims to structure applications as modular, reusable and loosely coupled services. These services communicate with each other via standardised protocols and interfaces. Key features of SOA are Modularity: Functionalities are divided into independent services. Interoperability: Services can work together across platforms and technologies. Reusability: Services can be used in different applications and contexts. Scalability: Individual

AIA and BAP: requirements for effective BIM processing

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the Building Owners and Managers Association International (BOMA) have jointly developed the AIA BIM Protocol (AIA E202-2008) to standardise the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in construction projects. The AIA BIM Protocol is a guideline that defines the responsibilities and requirements for the use of BIM in construction projects. It defines the processes required for the creation, management and use of BIM models.
