SOA_MC is the name of a software architecture that stands for Service Oriented Architecture - Multiple Client.
SOA_MC works with 2 tiers, as shown below. The tiers communicate using http protocol having data over it. The usual data formats are XML, JSON and CSV.
# The upper tier contains the clients. These can be of multiple platforms. This why the architecture is called multiple client. In the figure below, the example shows clients as native mobile devices (smartphones & tablets), web servers as clients and native GUI applications.
# The lower tier implements the business rules, offering functionality as web services.
When designing a new software system, while focusing on the needs typical of 21st century, one often wants the same system to be very suited to the multiple types of clients listed below.
# native mobile (mobile phone & tablet)
# web server; final user accesses the system through a web client (web browser) on some operating system.
# PC GUI native (on some operating system)
Advantages
The advantages of SOA_MC architecture are listed below
# The business rules are written only once for all multiple clients.
# There is no need to write all clients at once. The clients can be developed accordingly to the need and development capabilities.
# The very same system can be used by the same user by using different software clients, depending on the user needs. For instance: suppose a software system to help users get and provide car rides. A user can subscribe to the system, input his/her profile data, using a web browser at a desktop computer. When walking at some place in the city, the user might want to use the system, and can do that by a convenient native smartPhone client.
# This architecture completely separates the business rules and presentation tier, for the web client of the system. This allows to concentrate the business rules team (typically more experienced and more expensive) separated to the presentation team (that sometimes are less experienced and less expensive). The presentation team can use easy to learn script languages such as php, and no harm will ever happen to the stability of the system, because the business rules are maintained by other team.
# It is possible to have several different web pages as clients of the same system, and have different presentations for each one. Suppose one develops a system and wishes to sell to several firms (as customers), each one having already its own web page. This can be done, while preserving the graphical identity of each customer.
# The separation of tiers implicitly provided by SOA_MC architecture may deliver a less expensive process of developing the software system.
Technologies to develop web services
There are several technologies to allow the development of web services. Some are listed below.
# Apache tomcat & axis2
# Java SE Technologies and Web Services

Klemen Jaklic (born August 6, 1975) is a legal academic, currently Lecturer on Law at Harvard Law School and Teaching Fellow in Ethics at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University. He is among the world’s handful legal scholars who have concurrently completed both the Harvard and Oxford most advanced doctorate degrees in law: a D.Phil. from Oxford University and an S.J.D. from Harvard Law School. He is a recipient of repeated Harvard University teaching excellence awards and a scholar on Europe whose recent work “Europe as a Route to Humanity’s Third Historic Stage of Democracy” won the Harvard 2011 Mancini Prize ("best work in the field of EU law and European thought"). Over the course of the last decade he worked primarily with Frank Michelman from Harvard and Paul Craig from Oxford, who both have influenced this work in which Jaklic argues that the unique post-sovereign context of the new Europe has opened the possibility for humanity to initiate the “third historic leap” in our understanding and expansion of the concept of democracy. It is described as the leap comparable in its significance and breadth only to the first initiation of the city-state democracy in ancient Athens (the first leap), and to the improved concept of the nation-state democracy that came as the aftermath of the 18th century democratic revolutions (the second, and current leap). In 2005 Klemen Jaklic published the first translation of the United States Constitution into Slovenian language. Jaklic is also current member of the European Commission for Democracy Through Law (the Venice Commission), and an Affiliate of the Harvard University Center for European Studies.
A Linked In Open Networker (or LION) is a member of the business-oriented social networking site LinkedIn who positively encourages connections from some members or any other member, whether or not they have had a previous business relationship. The abbreviation LION is used, and is usually placed somewhere in the profile page. Created in september 2007 and moderated by John L. Evans, the LION community gathers more than members in 2011.
LIONs Linked In Open Networkers
LinkedIn networking philosophy is based on a simple rule that says that a person should invite to connect only persons that they personally know (for instance, school colleagues, coworkers, business partners, service providers etc.).
However, this limitation is viewed by some members of the LinkedIn community as overly restrictive. So some of them have adopted a policy of accepting invitations even from strangers. They circumvent some LinkedIn requirements (e.g. having to know a person's email address in order to send a linking invitation to them) by publicly posting their email addresses in their profiles, and stating that they openly accept invitations, thus becoming LinkedIn Open Networkers, or simply LIONs.
The most LION's rule is that in no circumstance an invitation is to be replied by clicking the "I don't know X" (X being the name of the person that sent the invitation) or even worse, mark it as spam. In case a LION doesn't want to connect with a specific person, all that he needs to do is to archive the invitation, which thus is set to automatically expire. (Choosing "I don't know X" or marking an invitation as spam can cause LinkedIn to impose restrictions on the account of the inviting party).
Not everybody that displays an email address on their profile is automatically a LION, however. Usually, the LION word is also present on the profile. LIONs can nuance the above rule of conduct when it comes to the received invitations, for instance, there are LIONs that won't accept standard invitations and require people to write customized invitations (for instance explaining why they would like to connect).
History
The LIONs was founded by Christian Mayaud in January 2006. Christian was quickly joined by like-minded John L. Evans from the United Kingdom, and between them they rapidly established the LIONs Group on Yahoo. John L. Evans applied to LinkedIn for a Badge of recognition and invented the idea of including in members' name/headlines to enable LIONs to search each other out and connect. Lists of LIONs were available at the Yahoo Group to enable mass Invites to be sent. John L. Evans continues to run the LIONs Groups on LinkedIn and and is seeking trade mark/design protection.
FAUX LION WARNINGS:
There are many people claiming to or to be associated with the LIONs:
* Marc Freedman created the MyLink500 site (now a part of MyLinkNetwork) to enable people to post their number of connections, together with MyLink Network, where networkers could specify their level of openness (Libertine, Open, or Closed) with corresponding CSV lists.
* TopLinked, whose founder is not publicly known, provides a variety of lists and ways for people to promote themselves for a fee. However, those lists are traded and will lead to increased incidence of SPAMMING.
The LIONs position as the leading Open Networking Group on LinkedIn is constantly being challenged. Lots of other Groups have been started claiming to represent LIONs or to be part of the LIONs. The only bona fide LIONs are those to be found at LinkedIn, Yahoo and 'Lair' (TheMetaNetwork) as per the URLs below. There are also Groups for LIONs to identify themselves on facebook, for example, however, these Groups are not managed as diligently as the aforementioned.
Amongst the reasons that others pass themselves off as LIONs / Open Networkers is to build email lists for various purposes including potentially spamming. This is very damaging for all concerned, to the reputation of the Social Networks, the LIONs and Open Networking generally. Look out for Groups which invite all Open Networkers from any and all Groups, and for Groups making huge emphasis of numbers. Look at the background to the sponsors - why are they promoting their Group - are they in businesses built on mass mailing and pyramid style enterprise?
The LIONs is the only Group that shares its membership lists with the members - a Group set up for the mutual benefit of the members.
The LIONs does not charge its members for anything and makes no offers of enhanced membership or self promotion if paid.
The LIONs advice - if it doesn't carry the LIONs logo - don't trust it. If it does, and you're suspicious, report it to the LIONs via the Yahoo Group.
LinkedIn critics on the LIONs
While not having explicitly prohibited LIONs, LinkedIn has adopted a rather negative position against LIONs. Indeed, LION can be perceived as a way to hack the LinkedIn professional network service and to use it free of charge.
When LinkedIn first started, there were no limits on the number of invitations one could send, where currently each person that joins LinkedIn now starts with a fixed number of 3,000 invitations. LinkedIn now placed a limit on the number of connections that you can have. At LinkedIn's beginnings, the number of connections one had was also visible in full. When a person gathers more than 500 connections, only "500+" is now displayed instead of the actual number the connections. Moreover, this number is visible for the account owner only in the Connections section. It was for the above reasons (amongst others) that the LIONs came into existence. For quite a while, LIONs were organized outside of LinkedIn because LinkedIn Groups supported nothing more than the ability to display the LION’s “” badge . When LinkedIn started the User-generated Groups program, the LION group on LinkedIn gained momentum with the addition of Discussions, for example. However, the real and meaningful, serious LIONs' discussions continued to take place on Yahoo.
