(0)Overview: A Federated System is a collection of independent, cooperative, possibly heterogeneous and autonomous computer systems (usually database systems) which allows sharing all or some of its data. A Service-Oriented Architecture is application architecture whose functionalities are defined as independent services which offer transparent communication between physically distributed components, possibly heterogeneous and autonomous. This paper presents the design of a Service-Oriented Architecture for Federated Systems. The architecture supports many users sharing data; access control to the data based on access rights which generates many views from a data source, as well as allowing a high automation level for the integration and querying processes.
