Re: [service-orientated-architecture] Executive Summary Request: SOA on One Page

+1.  SOA is essentially a declarative approach to architecture (what rather than how).  There is an argument that the whole history of IT has been about the progression from procedural to declarative software development.  At a low-level, we see this in the emergence of Inversion of Control containers, AOP and MDA - you could say that the move towards middleware based on WS-* standards reflects the same principle at a high-level. -- All the best Keith http://keith.harrison-broninski.info Todd Biske wrote: The part that didn't sit right with me was the line before the one you called out.   I feel that the process defines how something gets done, and the service defines more of what is being done.
