SOA is a interesting concept, yet it "technically" isn't anything new. Its really another type of distributed computing architecture environment. Conceptually SOA was around since the 80's, but just recently (in past 4-5 years) the tools and technologies have become available to really use these concepts. There are 2 types of SOAs: True SOA and False SOA Most people think that SOA is just a set of web services. That is "false SOA". It doesn't mean that is not SOA, it is SOA, but not utilizing all architecture concepts. Designing a service-oriented-architecture requires designing the architecture from inception. During the design phase, one determines which components and features can become a web service. It is best to try to make as many features of the system a web service. Basically, creating another type of interface to the business logic. Here are a few good books on this subject: [^] In summary: SOA Is: * An approach to information interoperability across diverse systems. * Architecture style/concept * Transformation to a business & IT * The next Generation Architecture will constitute the third big era in the It industry's history. * SOA uses interactive business components designed to be meanfulful, usable and useful across application or enterprise boundaries (integration + interoperability) SOA is NOT: * New * A technology * A Web service * A specification * A set of standards * Code * Just a hype or a buzz word Good luck!
