Web Oriented Architecture

Web Oriented Architecture (WOA) is a style of software architecture that extends service-oriented architecture (SOA) to web based applications, and is sometimes considered to be a light-weight version of SOA. WOA is also aimed at maximizing the browser and server interactions by use of technologies such as REST and POX.

Specifications

• Qworum is a specification and a platform that allows web applications to be built by combining services which are available on a network. The services are interactive, meaning that they may interact with the end-user through conventional web pages. Each service may in turn be composed of other services, which obviates the need for an orchestration layer on top of the service layer.
