SOA Explored in Latest Architecture Journal
The latest Architecture Journal (Journal 21) focuses on Service Orientation Today and Tomorrow. Eight articles discuss aspects such as business alignment, service modeling, governance, federation, infrastructure, reusability, convergence, and coexistence with cloud computing and event-driven complementary approaches (among others), and they're accompanied by guest columns that analyze other tangential aspects.
