Understanding Service-Oriented Architectures in the Classroom: From Web Services to Grid Services

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The main challenges in today’s teaching of service-oriented architectures at graduate and undergraduate levels are discussed and several approaches are analyzed. Teaching web and grid services is treated as special cases. Based on a positive experience in teaching service-oriented architecture using grid services, we advocate the usage of grid services in classroom for graduate students.
