Table 6-1 lists the patterns in the Services patterns cluster, along with the problem statements and associated implementations that serve as a roadmap to the patterns.

Table 6-1. Service Patterns

Pattern	Problem	Associated implementations
Service Interface	How do you make pieces of your application’s functionality available to other applications, while ensuring that the interface mechanics are decoupled from the application logic?	Implementing Service Interface in .NET
Service Gateway	How do you decouple the details of fulfilling the contract responsibilities defined by the service from the rest of your application?	Implementing Service Gateway in .NET
