SOA in 2008, what do users see?
http://go.techtarget.com/r/2839539/6276287
[Michael Meehan]
Over the past few weeks the media has been full of 2007 recaps and
2008 predictions. It's not just the tech media or the
service-oriented architecture space. The national and international
media does it too, in every arena: politics, entertaiment, business,
etc.
All in all, it probably counts as a good thing that we take the time
to look back and then project forward. It gets our heads out of the
routine of paying attention to nothing but what's most immediately in
front of our faces. Perspective never hurts.
At SearchSOA.com, we've listed our top SOA stories of 2007 - stories
1-4 and stories 5-8. We've spoken with two exceptionally smart people
in the SOA space about what 2008 might hold in store for SOA. IBM
WebSphere CTO Jerry Cuomo discussed SOA maturation and event-driven
SOA. Layer 7 CTO Toufic Boubez targeted operational governance and
virtualization. That's certainly plenty to digest for anyone looking
to fulfill his/her U.S.D.A. recommended yearly dose of SOA
perspective. Yet there is someone important we haven't brought into
the discussion ... you.
Often missing in this particular dialog is the end user. The
analysts, pundits and vendors make their thoughts known in the media
echo chamber, but it's high time some users sounded off. What was big
for you in 2007? More importantly, what do you see as the big things
looming for you in 2008? We want to know. Feel free to e-mail me at
mmeehan@techtarget.com with your comments or post them in this blog
(which, for those of you reading this in our newsletter, can be found
through the hyperlink on the headline). If you want to write a full
column, we'll run it. If you just have a few quick points to make,
we'll collect those and get them up in the blog.
Users drive this bus. Ultimately, that's how IT works. So where are
you taking SOA in 2008? Is it along the same superhighways we all
know about or have you found some shortcuts and interesting sideroads
you plan to explore?

Boubez: SOA virtualization, SLAs and access control policy
http://go.techtarget.com/r/2839563/6276287
In part 1 of this interview with Toufic Boubez, chief technology
officer for XML networking vendor Layer 7 Technologies Inc., he said
the WS-Policy standard work at W3C is complete and that standard is
being implemented. In part 2, he explains that there is still work to
be done on specifications for policy languages expressing access
control and service level agreements (SLAs) within WS-Policy. Boubez,
co-author of the original UDDI specification, worked as an editor on
the W3C working group that completed the WS-Policy specification this
past summer. Now he is working informally with other vendors to
provide the security, access control and federation specifications
for SOA. He also discussed virtualization as it related to SOA.
Boubez: SOA needs practical operational governance
http://go.techtarget.com/r/2839564/6276287
Toufic Boubez, chief technology officer for XML networking vendor
Layer 7 Technologies Inc., sees service-oriented architecture (SOA)
moving to a stage where enterprises implementing it need "practical
operational governance." Boubez, co-author of the original UDDI
specification, has been part of the emergence of Web service and SOA
from its genesis. Most recently, he worked as an editor on the W3C
working group that completed the WS-Policy specification this past
summer. Previous to joining Layer 7, Boubez served in IBM's Emerging
Technologies Group back when that group helped to build the
foundation for SOA. He was also lead Web services architect,
publishing IBM's first SOA toolkit.
IBM WebSphere CTO sees CEP as SOA's 'next big thing'
http://go.techtarget.com/r/2839565/6276287
IBM WebSphere CTO Jerry Cuomo sees complex event processing (CEP)
becoming the next big thing service-oriented architecture (SOA). He
sees this trend running across vertical industries. While stock
trading applications have been the poster child for initial CEP
implementations, IBM also sees potential in transportation including
fleet management where CEP can make use of RFID and GPS data to track
shipments. In this second part of this Q&A interview, Cuomo said IBM
is moving forward to add new CEP functionality to its SOA products
while also leveraging existing event processing technology.
ZapThink's 2008 SOA forecast
http://go.techtarget.com/r/2839566/6276287
Jason Bloomberg discusses the year in review and the coming year in
preview in the world of service-oriented architecture.
Composite apps, paving the way for assembly line SOA
http://go.techtarget.com/r/2839567/6276287
Much of the promise of SOA is tied to the ability to create composite
applications, or enterprise mashups. This tip defines what a
composite app is and how its design needs to be approached.
Understanding the SOA lifecycle
http://go.techtarget.com/r/2839568/6276287
One of the great challenges facing architects as they attempt to
model SOA is understanding the changes in the application lifecycle.
Numerous pitfalls await the uninitiated.
