SOA and WCF

Service Oriented Architectures are key to leverage the power of High Performance Computing from other types of platforms, exposing services to solve particular problems as part of a solution that leverage HPC capabilities, while preserving more traditional programming models for the the rest. This unit presents several scenarios and shows concrete examples of implementations using Windows Communication Foundation on HPC Server.
