This book follows up where the authors’ best-selling Service-Oriented Architecture Compass left off, showing how to overcome key obstacles to successful SOA implementation and identifying best practices for all facets of execution—technical, organizational, and human. Among the issues it addresses: introducing a services discipline that supports collaboration and information process sharing; integrating services with preexisting technology assets and strategies; choosing the right roles for new tools; shifting culture, governance, and architecture; and bringing greater agility to the entire organizational lifecycle, not just isolated projects. Executing SOA is an indispensable resource for every enterprise architect, technical manager, and IT leader tasked with driving value from SOA in complex environments. Coverage includes · Implementing SOA governance that reflects the organization’s strategic and business focus · Running SOA projects successfully: practical guidelines and proven methodologies around service modeling and design · Leveraging reusable assets: making the most of your SOA repository · Enabling the architect to choose the correct tools and products containing the features required to execute on the SOA method for service design and implementation · Defining information services to get the right information to the right people at the right time · Integrating SOA with Web 2.0 and other innovative products and solutions · Providing highly usable human interfaces in SOA environments
Getting Architecture Just Right: Detailed Practical Guidance for Architecting Any Real-World IT Project To build effective architectures, software architects must tread a fine line between precision and ambiguity (a.k.abig animal pictures). This is difficult but crucial: Failure to achieve this balance often leads directly to poor systems design and implementation. Now, pioneering IBM Distinguished Engineer and Chief Technology Officer Tilak Mitra offers the first complete guide to developing end-to-end solution architectures that are “just enough”--identifying and capturing the most important artifacts, without over-engineering or excessive documentation, and providing a practical approach to consistent and repeated success in defining software architectures. Practical Software Architecture provides detailed prescriptive and pragmatic guidance for architecting any real-world IT project, regardless of system, methodology, or environment. Mitra specifically identifies the artifacts that require emphasis and shows how to communicate evolving solutions with stakeholders, bridging the gap between architecture and implementation.
Address the #1 Success Factor in SOA Implementations: Effective, Business-Driven Governance Inadequate governance might be the most widespread root cause of SOA failure. In SOA Governance, a team of IBM’s leading SOA governance experts share hard-won best practices for governing IT in any service-oriented environment. The authors begin by introducing a comprehensive SOA governance model that has worked in the field. They define what must be governed, identify key stakeholders, and review the relationship of SOA governance to existing governance bodies as well as governance frameworks like COBIT. Next, they walk you through SOA governance assessment and planning, identifying and fixing gaps, setting goals and objectives, and establishing workable roadmaps and governance deliverables. Finally, the authors detail the build-out of the SOA governance model with a case study. The authors illuminate the unique issues associated with applying IT governance to a services model, including the challenges of compliance auditing when service behavior is inherently unpredictable. They also show why services governance requires a more organizational, business-centric focus than “conventional” IT governance. Coverage includes Understanding the problems SOA governance needs to solve Establishing and governing service production lines that automate SOA development activities Identifying reusable elements of your existing IT governance model and prioritizing improvements Establishing SOA authority chains, roles, responsibilities, policies, standards, mechanisms, procedures, and metrics Implementing service versioning and granularity Refining SOA governance frameworks to maintain their vitality as business and IT strategies change

The manner of aging is a cultural construct and there is a specifically Indian way of aging. That way is shown in this book through the anlyses of key concepts--aging (jara), stages of life (asarama), time (kala), determinate deeds (karma), desire (kama), change (parinama), and rejuvenative force (vaja). The author offers important transcultural insights into the realities of aging, disease, and inevitable death faced by all. The composite Inidan religious tradition provides patterns for shaping the aging experience into a meaningful system of vital social values, ethical principles, and life goals, This analysis of the Indian approach provides significant clues for understanding aging in other cultures.
The primary intention of this publication is to assess and describe the need for introducing vocational education with a little more seriousness than ever before and to suggest ideas for establishing a vocational university with a difference. The idea is also to summarize the present technical and vocational education scenario and its problems. I also intend to hint upon some recommendation for policies to be implemented at state level and suggest possible measures to make vocational courses more relevant to the need of the time. A comparative study has been attempted between regular vocational programs and social fairness and job reliability and its effect in building up the career of the present-generation youngsters. Ive also tried to focus on the initiatives, challenges, and the process of implementation of various projects and schemes undertaken by the government at different times in a bid to enhance employability. The objective is to explore into the output and its impact on the workforce plus the growth and development of the country. This book should form an interesting reading for those who are curious about an individuals potential strength and are engrossed in innovative projects particularly teachers, researchers, and administrators.
Remedies of Vastu contains easy and practical remedies for the rectification of vastu related faults. There is nothing wrong if a man seeks advice from Vastu consultant to ward off the faults existing in house like an ailing person sees a doctor to have his advice. A Vastu consultant advises renovation of a building only when it is essential and there is no way out. He is like a good doctor who advises a patient to go for a surgery when the disease with which the latter is suffering from cannot be cured by medicines or by any other means. Vastu faults can also be removed without any renovation - by changing the place of the goods in the house and by selecting right direction for meal and slumber. They can be removed by worship of gods and deities. Fengshui, Pyramid, Yantra - Mantra can also be chosen as helping hands in attaining happiness and prosperity. In this book apart from a brief description of Vastu, different methods of remedies have been incorporated. In nutshell scholars have mentioned some remedies to overcome Vastu faults. Some advise to perform Vastu Shanti and some to propitiate the planets. Some others advise to adopt remedies mentioned in Tantra-Mantra whereas some to wear Rudraksha. Yet some more scholars advise to overcome the faults by worshiping Yantra, some scholars advise to use pyramid or to adopt remedies mentioned in Feng Shui. Some others advise changes in directions of different goods of house. Apart from these scholars, Vastu practitioners advise to reconstruct the building whereas some advise to sell out the house. There might be difference among the scholars on remedies for Vastu as to which remedy is the best and the quickest for a particular native. However, all the remedies may prove to be effective, but the thing essential is to take necessary steps as mentioned in Vastu and that too on time. It is not possible to mention all the remedies here. Therefore, easy remedies have been incorporated in the book which could be adopted by a common man. This book has specially been designed for the students of All India Federation of Astrologers’ Societies but the students interested to know this subject can also get benefitted equally with the study of this book. The purpose of this book is to make the students acquainted with the common remedies found in our life. The students are advised to use the materials and the methods of worship mentioned in this book, only under the guidance and direction of a learned person. The materials are not likely to cause any harm. But even if they do, the author or the publisher will be no way responsible for that.

Fungi and microbes have predominant influence in our lives. They are directly or indirectly involved in generating the food we eat and drink, besides providing life saving pharmaceutical products, including the sources of enzymes. They play a vital role in recycling of organic matter and several ecological processes. Both fungi and microbes have contributed several billion dollars worth of technological products. For instance: yeast is used in brewing and bakery, Lactobacillus ferments milk to yoghurt and a number of edible mushrooms are rich in nutrients besides possessing many medicinal properties. Bacteria and fungi serve as key organisms in understanding life processes, genetic engineering and as experimental organisms. Therefore, it is necessary to study the biology and biotechnology of these organisms. It is a humble attempt of the authors to make the readers understand the biology and biotechnology of fungi and microbes in a simpler way and also to communicate the recent developments.
The intention of this book is to probe into a critical pedagogy of career education as a vital means to enhance vocationalization in an authentic sense. The book basically focuses on the need to re-structure the system and proposes the use of productive learning as a foundation for a well-rounded education that breaks down the dreadfully despicable dualisms of contemporary education, that is, the separation of theory from practice, individuals from collectivity and schools from community. It also aims at exposing students to three viable requirements: - the need for effective acquisition of skills - a critical pedagogy of occupational demands and - proper understanding of the potential resources for community development and prosperity. The implication is that creative activities ? productive behavior ? should move away from the single priority of economic advancement and profit toward the integration of developmental objectives for social and economic enlistment and effective mobilization.
Balochistan, Pakistan's largest province, is a complex region fraught with conflict and hostility, ranging from an enduring insurgency and sectarian violence to terror strikes and appalling human rights violations. In his third book on Pakistan, Tilak Devasher analyses why Balochistan is such a festering sore for Pakistan. With his keen understanding of the region, he traces the roots of the deep-seated Baloch alienation to the princely state of Kalat's forced accession to Pakistan in 1948. This alienation has been further solidified by the state's rampant exploitation of the province, leading to massive socio-economic deprivation. Is the Baloch insurgency threatening the integrity of Pakistan? What is the likelihood of an independent Balochistan? Has the situation in the province become irretrievable for Pakistan? Is there a meeting ground between the mutually opposing narratives of the Pakistan state and the Baloch nationalists?Devasher examines these issues with a clear and objective mind backed by meticulous research that goes to the heart of the Baloch conundrum.
