Presentation: "Document Style Business Services at British Airways."
Time:
Thursday 14:15 - 15:15
Location:
Fleming Room
Abstract: Here we describe British Airways' approach to some of the issues experienced as we develop a Service Oriented Architecture, with all the challenges of complex legacy data formats, multiple business areas and high transaction volumes that are inherent in the context of the Airline industry. We discuss some pitfalls and new approaches to designing and adopting a coarse-grained service architecture, challenges we have overcome (or not) in arriving at workable service granularity across multiple business areas and how we are bridging the divide between concept and implementation. We describe the design forces that have shaped our solution and the various processes and tools that we have developed.
