Forthcoming Book: Enterprise Metadata



Architecture of Reliable Web Applications Software presents new concepts regarding the reliability, availability, manageability, performance, scalability, and secured-ability of applications, particularly the ones that run over the Web. Architecture of Reliable Web Applications Software examines the causes of failure in a Web-based information system development project, and indicates that to exploit the unprecedented opportunities offered by e-service applications, businesses and users alike need a highly available, reliable, and efficient telecommunication infrastructure. Architecture of Reliable Web Application Software proposes a scalable QoS-aware architecture for the management of QoS-aware Web services to provide QoS management support for both Web services’ providers and consumers. It also introduces Hyper-services as a unified application model for semantic Web frameworks and proposes Conceptual Model Driven Software Development as a means of easy adoption to them.
 
Chapter Two: Enterprise Metadata for Reliable Web Applications
This chapter examines the critical task of governing the web application environment with enterprise metadata methodologies. As organizations move to higher levels of maturity, the ability to manage and understand the entire environment is one of the most critical aspects of the architecture. Metadata can be defined as information pertaining to the web application environment that the organization defines as critical to the business. Successful metadata management requires a comprehensive strategy and framework which will be presented through historical, current-state, and future perspectives. The author expects that by understanding the role of metadata within the web application environment, researchers will continue to expand the body of knowledge around asset management and overall architecture governance.
