Service Orchestration as Organization: Building Multi-Tenant Service Applications in the Cloud (Paperback)

Service orchestration techniques combine the benefits of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Business Process Management (BPM) to compose and coordinate distributed software services. On the other hand, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is gaining popularity as a software delivery model through cloud platforms due to the many benefits to software vendors, as well as their customers. Multi-tenancy, which refers to the sharing of a single application instance across multiple customers or user groups (called tenants), is an essential characteristic of the SaaS model.

Written in an easy to follow style with discussions supported by real-world examples, Service Orchestration as Organization introduces a novel approach with associated language, framework, and tool support to show how service orchestration techniques can be used to engineer and deploy SaaS applications.

• Describes the benefits as well as the challenges of building adaptive, multi-tenant software service applications using service-orchestration techniques
• Provides a thorough synopsis of the current state of the art, including the advantages and drawbacks of the adaptation techniques available
• Describes in detail how the underlying framework of the new approach has been implemented using available technologies, such as business rules engines and web services

服務編排技術結合了服務導向架構（SOA）和業務流程管理（BPM）的優點，以組合和協調分散式軟體服務。另一方面，軟體即服務（SaaS）作為一種通過雲平台提供軟體的交付模型，因為對軟體供應商和客戶都有許多好處而越來越受歡迎。多租戶（Multi-tenancy）是SaaS模型的一個重要特徵，它指的是在多個客戶或使用者群體（稱為租戶）之間共享單個應用實例。

《服務編排作為組織》以易於理解的風格撰寫，並通過實際案例支持討論，介紹了一種新的方法，以及相關的語言、框架和工具支持，展示了如何使用服務編排技術來設計和部署SaaS應用程式。

本書內容包括：
- 描述使用服務編排技術構建適應性多租戶軟體服務應用程式的好處和挑戰
- 提供了對當前技術水平的全面概述，包括可用的適應性技術的優點和缺點
- 詳細描述了如何使用可用技術（如業務規則引擎和網路服務）實現新方法的基礎框架。
