What is service oriented architecture (SOA)? Is it really happening or is it just vendor hype? Are we witnessing a revolution in software design, integration and interoperability? For many, SOA sounds suspiciously familiar, evoking the same over-promised vendor-hype of previous failed integration attempts such as CORBA. Is SOA more than web services? Are companies really deploying service-oriented architectures, or are they just using the word as a shorthand for SOAP interfaces and a bit of ESB? Panelists will debate the hype vs. reality of SOA in today's enterprise.
