Please Note: This class is subject to a ten percent increase. Please contact a TrainingPage representative for verification of price increase.

Description:

This course teaches the process, tools, and key modeling decisions involved in designing a service-oriented architecture using IBM Rational Software Architect. The course applies the principles of the Rational Unified Process for Service-Oriented Modeling and Architecture (RUP for SOMA) method and Model-Driven Development (MDD) approach. Based on a telecommunications industry case study, students use Rational Software Architect to develop a service model and seed an implementation model, using existing services and assets, UML model templates, model transformations, and the UML Profile for Software Services.

Audience:

This intermediate, instructor-led, classroom course is intended for the following audience:

• Software Architects
• Designers
