AIA

AIA - Oracle's SOA Architecture for PIP development.
AIA - application integration architecture
SOA - Service oriented architecture
PIP - Process Integration packs

In the journey from EAI to SOA, somewhere people started using BPEL for building integration flows. XML, XSLT, Adapters are the common technologies, whats new is WebServices or more specifically WSDLs.

In the Oracle eco system, there are many packaged Applications like Ebusiness suite, Siebel, Jd Edwards , Peoplesoft etc. And It's a common requirement to have integration flows between them in various customer implementations. So in Oracle we offer PIPs build over SOA middleware using AIA architecture.

I just completed 10 yrs in Indian IT industry starting as a developer and growing to Architect roles. Most of my experience was in the J2EE application development space. Last 2 years I have been working in the SOA space. Started with learning about SOA Methodology, Maturity Models, Technology Standards and Governance. looked at IBM Stack of products and now working using Oracle/BEA SOA stack products for last 6 months.

Oracle/BEA Stack of SOA products looks very exciting and I feel very passionate about its roadmap and also hoping doing exciting work in this space.

I am planning to write my experience in this blog from day to day development issues to architectural insights.
