SOA Design Patterns
by Thomas Erl Prentice Hall/PearsonPTR ISBN: 0136135161 Hardcover, Full-Color, ~ 900 pages Pre-Order • View TOC • Public Review 
 Software design patterns have emerged as an effective means of avoiding and overcoming common design problems and challenges. "SOA Design Patterns" presents a formal catalog of nearly 100 design patterns specifically for SOA and service-orientation. This book's coverage includes:
"SOA Design Patterns" contains numerous cross-references to relevant design principles covered separately in "SOA: Principles of Service Design", a book dedicated to documenting the service-orientation design paradigm and related design concepts and principles.

The upcoming book "SOA Design Patterns" has been in development for over 2.5 years and is now finally scheduled to go to print in 2008.
The first draft of the manuscript was completed in September, 2007 after which it was subjected to an exhaustive industry-wide review in which hundreds of SOA practitioners participated in addition to SOA vendors and experts from the design patterns community.
During the period of December 2007 to February 2008, the manuscript was further made available for an open public review in many additional SOA professionals from around the world took part. For details regarding the public reviews, visit www.soapatterns.org.
As a result of an additional call for participation that ran during this same period, over 30 new design patterns have been contributed and are currently being incorporated into the book.
Due to the volume of new content and changes, the release of "SOA Design Patterns" has been postponed to October, 2008. To be notified of updates to this site, use this notification form.

Design Patterns and Design Principles
This book will be the fourth title to be released as part of the Service-Oriented Computing Series from Thomas Erl. It was originally going to be combined with documentation of the eight key service-orientation design principles, at which point the book was titled "SOA: Principles and Patterns". However, after the manuscript exceeded 1,000 pages, it was decided to split off coverage of design principles and design patterns into separate books. The design principles title was released earlier this year and is called SOA: Principles of Service Design.
Design principles and design patterns are closely associated. Therefore, "SOA: Principles of Service Design" contains several references to fundamental design patterns, and the "SOA Design Patterns" book will provide further cross-references to design principles as they relate to each pattern.
