The Building Blocks of SOA
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a software design discipline that promises to deliver significant advancements in system flexibility and agility. But just what does an organization need to do to get on the path to SOA? In this session Anne Thomas Manes will set the stage for the conference by presenting a model and roadmap for SOA. It seems that nearly every vendor now offers some type of SOA product: SOA platforms, SOA management, SOA gateways, SOA governance, enterprise service bus (ESB), orchestration engines, registries, repositories, policy management systems, and more. Are all these products really necessary? What are the core building blocks necessary to support a successful SOA initiative?
