Service Oriented Architecture for Cloud Based Travel Reservation Software as a Service

Cloud is gaining popularity as means for saving cost of IT ownership and accelerating time to market due to ready-to-use, dynamically scalable computing infrastructure and software services offered on cloud on pay-per-use basis. Design of software solution for delivery as a shared service over cloud requires specific considerations. In this paper we describe an approach for design of travel reservations solution for use by corporate business travelers based on service oriented architecture, software-as-a-service, and cloud computing paradigms.
