The advent of Web Services has made people in IT more aware of
service-orientated architectures, of which WS are but the latest
implementation. Successful implementation of a SOA structure is an
essential pre-condition of a viable WS implementation. In any case
with or without WS, SOA is seen as the natural next major software
paradigm after n-tier client/server. We have therefore set up a
dedicated SOA usergroup which you can find at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/service-orientated-architecture .
So if you are interested in the SOA concept come, join and contribute
to our group!
keep well,
