As mobile, cloud and SaaS platforms continue to spread, enterprise architects and developers
increasingly turn to Web services to meet diverse information needs. But when it comes to designing
those Web services, things have changed. Development team leaders face difficult decisions as they

Daigneau, whose new book Service Design Patterns offers solutions

problematic latency. Rob has served in such prominent positions as director of architecture for
Monster.com and manager of applications development at Fidelity Investments. He now holds the post
of director of server applications for BlueMetal Architects.
