Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) design patterns are known solutions to common issues that arise in the implementation of architectures that seek to comply with service-oriented design principles and effectively accomplish its goals and benefits. The implementation of SOA has enabled organizations to move from an application centered development to a process centered development, commonly understood as services. The benefits and strategic goals derived from this paradigm, sometimes used indiscriminately in technological products and services, are well known in the industry. This article presents an analysis of the current relations among patterns (87), principles (8) and goals-benefits (7) of service oriented computing, although widely used patterns which do not correspond to recognized principles were also found.
