Abstract:

Service oriented architecture is all the rage. Vendor products like registries, ESBs, XML gateways, and WSM promise "SOA in a box." But SOA is actually about process and culture. What's hype and what's reality? What can it do for you? Where do you start? The University of Washington will describe its nascent SOA initiative and lessons learned.
