The evolution of information technology and the rapid development of Web-based services have given rise to new approaches that allow for the introduction of architecture that is more adaptable, upgradable and likely to satisfy a company's need for flexibility. What are the efficient approaches to software architecture? How can we manage the complexity of the existing software assets? How can we take advantage of what the new concepts in service-architecture have to offer? These are the stakes of IS architecture.
