TEK5120 – Modern Service Oriented Architecture
Course description
Course content
This course will give an introduction to Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), focusing on architectural principles and current technology used to implement and deploy it. Among other things, the course will cover SOA principles such as loose coupling and late binding, an introduction to important Web services standards, alternative technologies for implementing an SOA and SOA in relation to cloud computing and IoT; the Internet of Things.
You're expected to program SOAP and REST services in Java and use application servers and cloud to deploy the services. You're expected to understand the applicability of SOA in relevant ICT systems.
Learning outcome
After completing this course you will have knowledge of:
- Service-Oriented Arch itecture: the entities involved and the roles defining their interactions
- Current technologies used to implement a SOA, in particular Web services
- Common standards
- Cloud technology and how services can be made available in the cloud
Skills acquired during the course:
- Implementing SOAP and REST services in Java, and deploying them.
Admission to the course
Students admitted at UiO must?apply for courses?in Studentweb. Students enrolled in other Master's Degree Programmes can, on application, be admitted to the course if this is cleared by their own study programme.

Overlapping courses
- 10 credits overlap with TEK9120 – Modern Service Oriented Architecture (discontinued).
- 8 credits overlap with UNIK4730 – Service Oriented Architechture Implementation (continued).
- 8 credits overlap with UNIK9730 – Service Oriented Architechture Implementation (continued).
Teaching
The teaching includes?three?hours of lectures each week throughout the semester. The lectures are offered live in the classrom, and also using video streaming.
This course has three mandatory?exercises that must be approved?before you can sit the final exam. The tasks are to be solved individually or in small groups consisting of two students. We do not organize any lab work.
Examination
- Final?oral exam?which counts 100% towards the final grade.
In?case of many students, the final exam may be written.
This course has three mandatory?assignments, which must be approved before you can sit the final exam.
It will also be counted as one of the three attempts to sit the exam for this course, if you sit the exam for one of the following courses: TEK9120 – Modern Service Oriented Architecture (discontinued), UNIK4730 – Service Oriented Architechture Implementation (continued), UNIK9730 – Service Oriented Architechture Implementation (continued)
The exam is, as a rule, given at ITS, Kjeller where you are expected to participate by physically visiting the facilities. However, in special circumstances - needs to be negotiated when the semester starts - we may offer examination via phone/video conference.
Examination support material
No examination support material is allowed.
Language of examination
Subjects taught in English will only offer the exam paper in English. You may write your examination paper in Norwegian, Swedish, Danish or English.
Grading scale
Grades are awarded on a scale from A to F, where A is the best grade and F is a fail. Read more about the grading system.
The weight assigned to a topic is reflected by the time allotted to said topic during lectures (for example, a topic given a double lecture 2x3 hours counts twice as much as a single lecture 3 hours.? Furthering this line of thought, a topic that we spend 1 hour on counts 1/3 of a topic that is covered in a full lecture of 3 hours).
Resit an examination
Students who can document a valid reason for absence from the regular examination are offered a postponed examination at the beginning of the next semester.
Re-scheduled examinations are not offered to students who withdraw during, or did not pass the original examination.
